NHL ROUNDUP Monday’s games
Rangers 2, Senators 1, SO
NEW YORK — Nikolai Zherdev scored the only goal in a shootout and Henrik Lundqvist denied all three Ottawa shooters. The Rangers opted to shoot first and Zherdev beat Alex Auld between the pads. That left it up to Lundqvist to stop Jason Spezza, Jarko Ruutu and Antoine Vermette for his NHL-leading 12th win. Fredrik Sjostrom scored for the Rangers in regulation as the Eastern Conference leaders stretched their winning streak to three. Daniel Alfredsson had the lone goal for the Senators, who lost their fifth straight. They’ve scored only five goals during that span.
Islanders 2, Canucks 1, SO
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Roberto Luongo made 34 saves against the team that let him get away, but couldn’t stop Frans Nielsen in a shootout as the Islanders won their season-best third straight. Nielsen scored on the first shot of the tiebreaker, and Joey MacDonald turned aside all three Vancouver shooters — ending the game with a poke check against Alex Burrows. MacDonald stopped 31 shots through overtime.
Red Wings 4, Oilers 0
DETROIT — Ty Conklin made 20 saves for his fifth career shutout and Jiri Hudler and Niklas Kronwall each had a goal and an assist for Detroit. Mikael Samuelsson and Johan Franzen also scored for Detroit, which has won five of its last six. Henrik Zetterberg added two assists for the defending Stanley Cup champions. Dwayne Roloson stopped 37 shots for Edmonton.
Bruins 3, Maple Leafs 2
TORONTO — Michael Ryder, Phil Kessel and Matt Hunwick scored to lead Boston over Toronto. Marc Savard and Milan Lucic each added two assists for the Northeast Division-leading Bruins. Jason Blake and Mikhail Grabovski scored for the Maple Leafs, who have only two wins in their last eight games.
Sharks 4, Predators 1
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Devin Setoguchi had a power-play goal and an assist to help San Jose beat Nashville. Jody Shelley, Tomas Plihal and Patrick Marleau also scored for San Jose. David Legwand scored for the Predators.
