Coyotes defeat Chicago

Friday, November 06, 2009

GLENDALE (AP) -- Peter Mueller scored his first goal of the season and Martin Hanzal added a goal and an assist as the Phoenix Coyotes beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 Thursday night.

Scottie Upshall also scored, and Ilya Bryzgalov made 31 saves for the Coyotes, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Kris Versteeg had a short-handed goal for the Blackhawks, who have lost two of three.

Hanzal needed just 2:34 to give the Coyotes a 1-0 lead, sending a sharp wrist shot from the middle of the left circle between Cristobal Huet's pads.

Mueller made it 2-0 at 11:55 on a rebound after Hanzal tried to redirect a pass from Shane Doan from the half-boards.

Upshall extended the lead to 3-0 at 10:38 of the second period with a wrist shot from the left circle just inside the right post.

Canadiens 2, Bruins 1 (SO)

BOSTON -- Patrice Bergeron's goal with 52 seconds left in regulation helped the Bruins avoid a historic third straight shutout, but Michael Cammalleri scored in the shootout to give Montreal a victory over Boston.

Boston had not scored in 192 minutes, 6 seconds, dating to Vladimir Sobotka's goal at 7:02 of the third period against Edmonton on Saturday. The Bruins had not been shut out in three straight games since they scored just once over five games from Feb. 2-14, 1929.

Blue Jackets 4, Thrashers 3

ATLANTA -- Raffi Torres scored two second-period goals and Columbus held off Atlanta. The Thrashers, coming off road wins at Ottawa and Montreal, lost for the fourth time in five home games.

The Blue Jackets took a 2-0 lead in the first period when Jakub Voracek and Derick Brassard each had a goal and an assist, and Columbus never trailed.

Red Wings 2, Sharks 1 (SO)

DETROIT -- Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg scored in the shootout as Detroit snapped San Jose's six-game winning streak.

Zetterberg also had a goal in regulation, and Chris Osgood made 33 saves for Detroit.

Canucks 5, Wild 2

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Tough guy Darcy Hordichuk and newly signed Matt Pettinger each scored their first goals of the season, forming an unlikely pair to lead short-handed Vancouver past Minnesota.

Hordichuk scored his first goal in 50 games. Pettinger was signed off the street on Monday to bolster a depleted roster.

Senators 3, Lightning 2 (OT)

OTTAWA -- Jason Spezza scored a power-play goal 4:17 into overtime to lift Ottawa over Tampa Bay.

Spezza, sidelined for two games because of back pain, drove a slap shot past Antero Niittymaki after Tampa Bay's Mattias Ohlund was sent off for holding 3 minutes into overtime. Spezza also assisted on Daniel Alfredsson's first-period goal.

Flames 2, Blues 1 (OT)

ST. LOUIS -- Dion Phaneuf's goal 2:50 into overtime gave Calgary a victory over St. Louis.

Calgary won in overtime for the second time in two nights. The Flames broke a two-game losing streak on Wednesday with a 3-2 victory at Dallas.

Rangers 4, Oilers 2

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Ales Kotalik had a goal and two assists, and the New York Rangers halted a four-game, road-losing streak with a win over Edmonton.

Marian Gaborik, Christopher Higgins and Ryan Callahan also scored for the Rangers (10-6-1), who had won only two of their previous eight games.

Ducks 4, Predators 0

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jonas Hiller made 40 saves to earn his fifth NHL shutout, Teemu Selanne scored two goals to overtake Hall of Famer Jean Beliveau on the career points list, and Anaheim beat short-handed Nashville.

The shutout was the first for the Ducks since Jan. 17, when Hiller won at Minnesota. He was making his fourth consecutive start since Jean-Sebastien Giguere re-aggravated a groin injury in a loss to Columbus. The Predators were blanked for the fourth time this season after winning three in a row.

Kings 5, Penguins 2

LOS ANGELES -- Jarrett Stoll scored the go-ahead goal with 7:51 to play, and Los Angeles roared from behind with a four-goal third period in a 5-2 victory over Pittsburgh.

Jonathan Quick made 21 saves in a standout performance for the Kings, who ended the Penguins' season-opening, seven-game road winning streak.

NHL scoring leader Anze Kopitar's second goal tied it early in the third for the Kings, who improved to 6-0-2 in their last eight games for the club's longest points streak since November 2000.
