NHL roundup

Canadiens 3, Flyers 0

MONTREAL

Carey Price made 41 saves for his third shutout, Brian Gionta had a goal and two assists, and the Montreal Canadiens extended their winning streak to four. Price stopped 13 shots in the first and 20 more in the second on his way to his seventh career shutout, his second in four games. He stopped 34 shots one week earlier in a 2-0 win over Vancouver which began Montreal’s current streak. Gionta assisted on Michael Cammalleri’s goal during a two-man advantage midway through the first period. The Canadiens’ captain got his second assist on Tomas Plekanec’s goal 13:48 into the second. Gionta scored for the third game in a row when he added Montreal’s second power-play goal 6:24 into the third. Sergei Bobrovsky made 25 saves for Philadelphia, which lost in regulation for the first time in three weeks.

Maple Leafs 5, Predators 4

TORONTO

Kris Versteeg scored two second-period power-play goals and the Toronto Maple Leafs overcome an early three-goal deficit. Nikolai Kulemin’s goal late in the second period completed a big comeback as Toronto scored four power-play goals in the second period. The Leafs lost starting goaltender J.S. Giguere to an apparent injury early in the third period. However, they managed to hold on for their first win since Oct. 26 with backup Jonas Gustavsson making six saves. Luke Schenn and Mikhail Grabovski also scored for the Maple Leafs, who went 4 for 8 on the power play. J.P. Dumont, Jordin Tootoo, Marin Erat and Marcel Goc scored for Nashville.

Stars 2, Ducks 1

DALLAS

Brad Richards scored the go-ahead goal after a video review midway through the third period. With the game tied at 1, Richards’ shot from the left circle glanced off the post, and the referees initially ruled no goal at 8:24 of the final period. But replays showed that the puck crossed the goal line in the air and Richards was credited with his 200th NHL goal.
