Bishop, making his second start after returning from injured reserve, earned
his third straight winning decision. He came through particularly at the end
of the game when the Sharks forced the action. Mattias Janmark also scored for
the Stars.
San Jose's Evander Kane and Logan Couture scored, with Erik Karlsson assisting
on both goals. Martin Jones made 27 saves for the Sharks, who fell to 2-4-1 in
their past seven games.
Hurricanes 4, Ducks 1
Brett Pesce and Justin Williams scored third-period goals one minute apart as
visiting Carolina ended Anaheim's season-best five-game win streak.
Sebastian Aho scored a late empty-net goal for the Hurricanes, who became the
first team in six games to score a third-period goal against the Ducks.
Anaheim had outscored opponents 9-0 in the closing period of its previous five
games. Clark Bishop scored his first NHL goal for Carolina.
Jakob Silfverberg scored the lone goal for the Ducks, the 100th of his career.
Blues 1, Jets 0
Jake Allen made 26 saves for his first shutout of the season, and Colton
Parayko scored the only goal of the game as visiting St. Louis blanked
Winnipeg. Allen pushed his career shutout total to 17.
The last time the two teams played, Winnipeg produced a season-high goal total
in an 8-4 win at St. Louis on Nov. 24, a game that featured Patrik Laine
scoring five goals on five shots. On Friday, Laine finished with just one shot
on goal, but he also hit the goalpost on a power-play attempt in the second
period.
Connor Hellebuyck recorded 26 saves for the Jets, who had a season-high,
four-game winning streak snapped.
Oilers 7, Wild 2
Leon Draisaitl had two goals and an assist, and Connor McDavid added a goal
and three assists as host Edmonton continued its resurgence under coach Ken
Hitchcock with a victory over Minnesota.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zack Kassian, Alex Chiasson and Darnell Nurse also scored
for the Oilers, who have won five of their past six games and are 6-2-1 since
Hitchcock was hired Nov. 20 to replace Todd McLellan. Cam Talbot made 31
saves.
Marcus Foligno and Nino Niederreiter scored for the Wild, who wrapped up a
three-game Western Canada trip. Minnesota has lost five of its past six games,
the only win in that span coming Tuesday in Vancouver.
