OTTAWA - Patrick Sharp scored the tying goal early in the third and set up Jonathan Toews' goal in overtime in the Chicago Blackhawks' 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.

Sharp, who misfired on a second-period penalty shot, scored 38 seconds into the third to draw Chicago even at 3.

Toews redirected Sharp's pass beyond Ray Emery 2:08 into overtime to finish with a goal and two assists.
Martin Lapointe and Brent Seabrook also scored for Chicago in Martin Havlat's first game in Ottawa since he was dealt to the Blackhawks on July 10, 2006.

Dany Heatley scored twice for Ottawa and Dean McAmmond got his second short-handed goal of the season.

Havlat, who didn't figure in the scoring, left the game in the second period because of a groin injury. He did not return.

BLUES 4, BRUINS 1: Former Bruin Brad Boyes continued his strong start with his 21st goal and Manny Legace made 24 saves, leading St. Louis past Boston.

MAPLE LEAFS 2, PANTHERS 1: Pavel Kubina scored a power-play goal 34 seconds into overtime to help Toronto snap a three-game losing streak with a victory against Florida.
Kyle Wellwood also scored for Toronto, which improved to 2-3 on its franchise record-tying, seven-game road trip. Tomas Kaberle and Mats Sundin each had two assists.

ISLANDERS 3, CAPITALS 2: Richard Park's goal 3:43 into overtime helped New York defeat Washington.

Park took Radek Martinek's pass in the lower left circle and beat Olie Kolzig with a wrist shot for his sixth goal of the season, giving the Islanders consecutive wins for the first time since Nov. 16-19.

THRASHERS 3, CANADIENS 2: Slava Kozlov and Marian Hossa each scored in the shootout to lift Atlanta past Montreal.

Atlanta, coming off a 3-2 victory over Eastern Conference-leading Ottawa on Thursday, has won three straight after losing four in a row and eight of 11.

SABRES 6, FLYERS 5: Buffalo's Ales Kotalik scored the only shootout goal and the Sabres beat Philadelphia to sweep the home-and-home series and extend their season-high winning streak to six games.

Kotalik, who also scored in regulation, beat goalie Martin Biron to the glove side for the winner.

Buffalo's Thomas Vanek scored on a deflection with 7.2 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime.

Philadelphia had taken a 5-4 lead when Kimmo Timonen scored on a power play 3:51 into the third period after battling back from a 3-1 deficit.

RED WINGS 4, WILD 1: Dominik Hasek made 18 saves, and tight-checking Detroit suffocated Marian Gaborik in a victory against Minnesota.

Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen, Daniel Cleary and Tomas Kopecky scored for the Red Wings, who were without two top offensive players in Henrik Zetterberg (back) and Tomas Holmstrom (knee).

PREDATORS 4, KINGS 3: Jason Arnott recorded his first hat trick in more than two years and Nashville snapped a five-game losing streak by beating Los Angeles, sending the Kings to their seventh straight loss.
