Zednik, Vokoun Lead Panthers Past Leafs

Richard Zednik score three goals and Tomas Vokoun stopped all 23 shots he faced as the Florida Panthers routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 8-0. Nathan Horton, Olli Jokinen, Cory Murphy, Steve Montador and Brett McLean also scored for Florida, which has won three straight games. It was the largest loss of the season for the Maple Leafs. Jokinen's goal was the 200th of his career. FLYERS 3, THRASHERS 2: Antero Nittymaki and the Flyers own the Thrashers, especially in Atlanta. Nittymaki stopped 23 shots to stay perfect in eight decisions against Atlanta and Steve Downie scored with 4:29 left in the third period to give the Flyers a victory. Philadelphia has won nine straight against the Thrashers. DUCKS 3, ISLANDERS 0: Teemu Selanne gave Anaheim's slumping offense a jolt in his first game of the season. The 37-year-old Finnish forward put off retirement and rejoined the Ducks on Tuesday night, playing his first game since he and Anaheim won the Stanley Cup last spring. Selanne paid instant dividends for the Ducks, setting up Scott Niedermayer's power-play goal in the second period. KINGS 4, RANGERS 2: Alexander Frolov and Anze Kopitar each had a goal and an assist to lead Los Angeles to win over New York. Scott Thornton and Brian Boyle also scored for Los Angeles, and Jason LaBarbera made 23 of his 39 saves in the second period. SABRES 4, BRUINS 2: Daniel Paille scored twice and Ryan Miller stopped 30 shots to lead Buffalo. Thomas Vanek broke a second-period tie to help the Sabres win for the fourth time in five games and climb back into playoff contention. Buffalo, which entered in 11th place in the conference, is four points behind the eighth-place Bruins for the last playoff spot in the East. CAPITALS 4, BLUE JACKETS 3: Alexander Ovechkin added to his NHL-leading goal total by scoring twice, including the winner in overtime, to lead Washington. Ovechkin netted a low, hard shot from the right circle 2:28 into the overtime after taking a cross-ice pass from Tom Poti. It was his 45th of the season. CANADIENS 4, SENATORS 3: Tomas Plekanec had two goals and an assist, and Andrei Kostitsyn had a goal and two assists in Montreal's victory. Linemate Alex Kovalev had three assists as Montreal's top line combined for nine points and the Canadiens ended a six-game losing streak against Ottawa. PREDATORS 1, HURRICANES 0: Chris Mason made 31 saves for his fourth shutout this season, leading Nashville to a victory over Carolina. J.P. Dumont scored for the Predators, who have won four straight. RED WINGS 3, WILD 2: Dan Cleary tied the game with 1:20 to play in regulation and Brett Lebda scored 1:37 into overtime to lift the Red Wings to their eighth straight victory. It was a heart-breaking loss for the Wild, who entered the game 7-3 in their last 10 and controlled the action in the first two periods. STARS 3, CANUCKS 2: Brenden Morrow scored in the sixth round of the shootout as Dallas Stars extended their winning streak to four games. Morrow added a goal and an assist in regulation, and Jere Lehtinen added a power-play goal for the Stars, who stretched their Pacific Division lead to four points. OILERS: The team has a new owner, pending approval from the NHL. The 34-member Edmonton Investors Group agreed Tuesday to sell 100 percent of its shares to local pharmacy billionaire Daryl Katz in a deal worth about $200 million. "This is a terrific level of support that will enable us to move forward with the process of securing NHL approval and conclude this transaction," said Katz in a news release. League approval can take anywhere from six weeks to two months. The Associated Press ...more
