nhl roundup Saturday’s games

Stars 3, Penguins 0

DALLAS

Kari Lehtonen made 24 saves for his second shutout in three games to lead Dallas. Sergei Gonchar, Jamie Benn and Rich Peverley had Dallas’ goals, and Lehtonen also had an assist for the second consecutive game. The Stars have won their last three games by a combined 14-1 margin. Gonchar, a former Penguin, had a power-play goal, his second score this season, with about five minutes remaining in the first period against his former team. Dallas has scored with a man advantage in seven consecutive games. Alex Goligoski, another former Penguins player, had an assist when Benn scored to make it 2-0 at 3:14 of the second.

Sabres 5, Blue Jackets 2

COLUMBUS

Christian Ehrhoff and Marcus Foligno scored short-handed goals to lead Buffalo, ending the Blue Jackets’ franchise-record winning streak at eight. Ryan Miller was almost flawless in goal for the Sabres, making 38 saves — standing particularly tall on the Blue Jackets’ four fruitless power plays. Matt Ellis, Steve Ott and Cody Hodgson also scored for the Sabres, who had lost five in a row (0-3-2). Ehrhoff added two assists, tying a career high with three points. Hodgson also had an assist. Derek MacKenzie had a goal and an assist and Mark Letestu also scored for the Blue Jackets, who had tallied at least three goals in each game during the streak. Sergei Bobrovsky, who came in 9-0-0 with a 1.80 goals-against average and .940 save percentage in his past nine starts, had a forgettable game. He was pulled after giving up three goals — including both of the short-handed tallies.

Blues 4, Islanders 3, SO

UNIONDALE, N.Y.

Kevin Shattenkirk and Alexander Steen scored shootout goals to lift St. Louis following a puzzling goal reversal call in overtime. After T.J. Oshie tied it for the Blues with 27 seconds left in regulation, Thomas Vanek appeared to score the winner for the Islanders on the power play with 1:15 left in overtime — but the play was overturned on review at the NHL offices in Toronto. The puck hit Vanek’s skate blade and dribbled past Blues goaltender Jaroslav Halak, but a distinct kicking motion that usually negates goals wasn’t apparent.

Hurricanes 6, Senators 3

RALEIGH, N.C.

Carolina’s Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist. It was the third straight win for Carolina, which is 11-0-1 in its last 12 home games against Ottawa. Nathan Gerbe added a goal and two assists for the Hurricanes, while Eric Staal, Riley Nash and Tuomo Ruutu scored.

Bruins 6, Flyers 1

PHILADELPHIA

Jarome Iginla and Zdeno Chara each had two goals while Tuukka Rask made 25 saves. Reilly Smith and Patrice Bergeron also had goals for the Bruins. Claude Giroux scored a power-play goal for the slumping Flyers, who’ve lost four in a row.

Capitals 5, Canadiens 0

MONTREAL

Alex Ovechkin returned from an injury that sidelined him two games to start a four-goal second period as the Washington Capitals ended a seven-game winless run.

Lightning 5, Avalanche 2

TAMPA, FLA.

Tyler Johnson scored three goals to lead Tampa Bay. Mark Barberio and Valtteri Filppula also scored for the Lightning. Martin St. Louis extended his point streak to 10 games with an assist on Johnson’s second goal. John Mitchell and Tyson Barrie scored in the second period for Colorado.

Jets 5, Maple Leafs 4, OT

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA

Dustin Byfuglien fired a low shot past Jonathan Bernier 2:44 into overtime to give Winnipeg the victory. Toronto’s Phil Kessel took a pass from James van Riemsdyk and fired a sharp-angled shot past Ondrej Pavelec with 1:33 left in the third period to tie the score. Mark Scheifele, Zach Bogosian, Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little also scored for the Jets.
