NHL ROUNDUP \ Monday’s other games

Flyers 4, Stars 3

PHILADELPHIA — Mike Knuble scored two goals, including the tiebreaker at 14:52 of the third period, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Dallas Stars for their fifth straight victory. Simon Gagne set up the go-ahead goal by stealing the puck at the blue line and passing it to Mike Richards, who fed Knuble in the slot for a one-timer. Scottie Upshall and Jeff Carter also scored for the Flyers, who have won six of seven. Gagne extended his points streak to eight games (three goals, eight assists) with a pair of assists on Knuble’s goals.

Panthers 3, Hurricanes 2

SUNRISE, Fla. — Ville Peltonen’s second goal of the game snapped a tie late in the second period and sent the Florida Panthers to a victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. David Booth also scored and Tomas Vokoun made 27 saves for the Panthers, who stopped a two-game skid as they opened a three-game homestand. Tuomo Ruutu and Chad LaRose scored for the Hurricanes, who were coming off a loss to Nashville on Sunday that ended a three-game winning streak.

Wild 4, Capitals 3

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Cal Clutterbuck’s first two NHL goals gave Minnesota a badly needed offensive boost and sparked the Wild, who hung on against the injury-depleted and travel-weary Washington Capitals for a victory. Marek Zidlicky’s 5-on-3 slap shot, following consecutive closing-hand-on-the-puck penalties called 26 seconds apart on the Capitals’ Tom Poti and Alex Ovechkin, zipped past goalie Jose Theodore early in the third period for a 3-0 advantage.

Islanders 4, Canadiens 3, SO

MONTREAL — Ryan O’Byrne put the puck in his own net on a delayed penalty to send the game into overtime, and Bill Guerin scored the shootout clincher for the New York Islanders in a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Guerin was credited with the tying goal on O’Byrne’s gaffe. Richard Park and Trent Hunter also scored for the surging Islanders, who won for the fifth time in six games. Steve Begin, Josh Gorges and Maxim Lapierre scored rare goals for the Canadiens, who lost their second consecutive shootout but still have points in four of their last five games.
