AROUND THE NHL | Sunday’s games


Jets 3, Hurricanes 1

WINNPEG, MANITOBA

Bryan Little broke a tie with 2:09 left and Winnipeg beat Carolina to open a six-game homestand. Patrick Laine opened the scoring for the Jets at 4:14 of the third period, and Kyle Connor (Youngstown Phantoms 2012-15) added an empty-net goal with a second left. Backup goalie Laurent Brossoit stopped 42 shots for the victory, allowing only Micheal Ferland’s tying goal. After Laine one-timed a pass from Blake Wheeler on a power play to put the Jets ahead, Ferland poked home a shot from Dougie Hamilton that was drifting behind Brossoit. Little then slammed in the winner for his first goal of the season.

Devils 3, Sharks 2

NEWARK, N.J.

Kyle Palmieri scored two goals for the third straight game and New Jersey rallied from their first deficits of the season to beat San Jose. Jean-Sebastien Dea capped the two-goal, third-period outburst with the winner at 3:25. Keith Kinkaid made 37 saves to help the Devils open 3-0 for the second straight year. Joe Pavelski and Timo Meier scored for the Sharks in the final game of a five-game trip. Palmieri, who had 24 goals last season, scored on a rebound in the crease 37 seconds into the third period to tie it. After Kinkaid made a save in close minutes later, Dea stuffed a loose puck into the net after Jones let a shot by former Sharks defenseman Mirco Mueller slip between his pads.

Ducks 3, Blues 2

ST. LOUIS

Andrew Cogliano was in the right place at the right time for the Anaheim Ducks. Ben Street and Cogliano scored third-period goals, Ryan Miller made 29 saves, and the Ducks rallied to beat the Blues. Jakob Silfverberg also scored for the Ducks, who won for the third straight time at Enterprise Center and matched a franchise-best winning streak at St. Louis from Dec. 21, 2005, to March 31. 2007. Alexander Steen and Tyler Bozak scored for the Blues, and Vladimir Tarasenko had a pair of assists. Chad Johnson made 28 saves.
