Red Wings edge Stars in SO
DALLAS – Jiri Hudler scored in the second round of the shootout, Detroit’s Ty Conklin was perfect in all three rounds, and the Red Wings beat the Dallas Stars, 3-2, on Tuesday night.
Hudler put on a nifty move to fake rookie Richard Bachman out of position and tucked the puck into the right side of the net.
Conklin denied Loui Eriksson, Michael Ryder and Trevor Daley in the shootout to earn the extra point for the Red Wings.
Brenden Morrow and Eriksson scored in regulation for Dallas, 1-3-1 in its past five.
Tomas Holmstrom and Hudler had regulation goals for Detroit, which has won four in a row.
Islanders 3, Capitals 0: At Washington, Evgeni Nabokov stopped 17 shots to hand the Washington Capitals their first shutout of the season, and New York got two goals from PA Parenteau in its win.
The last-place Islanders ended Washington’s seven-game, home winning streak and denied the Capitals’ bid to move past idle Florida into first place in the Southeast Division.
Rangers 3, Predators 0: At New York, Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves for his fourth shutout of the season, and New York stayed atop the NHL standings with a victory over Nashville that stopped the Predators’ winning streak at five.
The Rangers lead the NHL with 62 points.
Lightning 5, Bruins 3: At Tampa, Fla., Dominic Moore scored a tiebreaking goal with 3:45 remaining, and Tampa Bay beat Boston.
Moore stopped an 11-game goal drought and put Tampa Bay up, 4-3, when he scored on Tim Thomas with a shot from the top of the left circle.
Flyers 5, Wild 1: At Philadelphia, Sean Couturier scored a short-handed goal to lead a balanced attack, and Philadelphia beat Minnesota.
Kimmo Timonen, Scott Hartnell, Braydon Coburn and Jakub Voracek also had goals for the Flyers, who got points from 12 players.

Blue Jackets 4, Oilers 2: At Columbus, Ohio, Derek MacKenzie scored 32 seconds into the third period to help Columbus rally from a two-goal deficit and beat Edmonton.
The defeat in a matchup of the teams at the bottom of the Western Conference could be particularly costly for the Oilers, who lost Taylor Hall for the game during warm-ups when he collided with a teammate and fell. Hall cut his head on another teammate’s skate and couldn’t play.
Senators 3, Maple Leafs 2: At Toronto, Daniel Alfredsson and Jason Spezza scored, Craig Anderson made 37 saves, and Ottawa edged Toronto.
Penguins 2, Hurricanes 1 (SO): At Pittsburgh, James Neal beat Cam Ward on the stick side in the shootout to lift Pittsburgh over Carolina.
