Bruins score 3 in 3rd to beat Hurricanes 5-2Andrew Ebbett, Antti Miettinen and Martin Havlat also scored for the Wild, winners of three straight overall. The Wild's home winning streak over Edmonton is tied for the longest home winning streak against an opponent in the NHL, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Avalanche 5, Blues 3 At St. Louis, Peter Mueller scored twice on a three-point game that matched his career best and Paul Stastny had his fifth goal in three games with two assists, helping Colorado sweep the season series against St. Louis. The Blues had quick goals to start the first two periods, with Alex Steen matching the franchise record to start the game on his 20th goal at the 8-second mark and Patrik Berglund scoring at 34 seconds of the second to tie it at 2. Stars 8, Sharks 2 At Dallas, Mike Ribeiro and Brenden Morrow each scored twice, including short-handed goals in the third period, while Kari Lehtonen made 44 saves in his second start of the season as Dallas boosted its fading playoff chances. Brad Richards struck on the power play, and Brandon Segal added a goal for the Stars, who pulled seven points behind No. 8 Detroit in the Western Conference. Dan Boyle had a power-play goal and Devin Setoguchi scored at even strength for the Sharks, the Western Conference leaders by two points over Chicago. Islanders 5, Canucks 2 At Vancouver, rookie John Tavares broke out of a scoring slump with two goals and three assists to lead the New York Islanders. Tavares, the first pick in last summer's draft, burst into the NHL with rookie of the year expectations after 15 goals and 27 points in his first 32 games. But the 19-year-old came in with only three goals and nine points in his last 37 games before breaking out with his first five-point night. Dylan Reese, Matt Moulson and Freddy Meyer also scored for the Islanders. Kyle Wellwood and Alex Burrows had the Canucks' goals. | ||||||||||||||||||||
