NHL roundup: Flames down Ducks, extend hot streak

Goalie Mike Smith made 25 saves for the Flames, who strengthened their hold on
the top spot in the Western Conference.

Mangiapane broke the tie with 3:29 remaining in regulation. He tried to make a
pass on a two-on-one rush only to see it blocked, but the puck came back to
the speedy rookie, and he promptly buried a short-side offering for his third
goal of the season, all in his past seven games.

Brodie and Anaheim's Derek Grant scored in the second period. Ducks goalie
Ryan Miller made 26 saves.

Jets 6, Golden Knights 3

Patrik Laine scored twice to snap a 15-game goalless drought as Winnipeg won
in Las Vegas.

Nikolaj Ehlers, Kyle Connor, Adam Lowry and Andrew Copp also scored for the
Jets, who snapped a three-game losing streak and reclaimed the lead in the
NHL's Central Division, moving a point ahead of the Nashville Predators.
Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck made 29 saves.

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Shea Theodore and Jonathan Marchessault scored for
the Golden Knights, who are 3-9-1 in their past 13 games and have won just
once in their past eight home games (1-6-1). Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury stopped
23 of 28 shots.

Blue Jackets 3, Senators 0

Sergei Bobrovsky made 22 saves to record his fourth shutout of the season as
Columbus skated to a win over host Ottawa, hours after acquiring pending
unrestricted free agent forward Matt Duchene from its opponent.

Josh Anderson scored his seventh goal in 11 games for the Blue Jackets. Cam
Atkinson netted his team-leading 33rd tally and Oliver Bjorkstrand also scored
to help Columbus snap a two-game skid. Duchene had three shots on goal against
his former team.

Ottawa rookie forward Brady Tkachuk fell on Bobrovsky late in the second
period to raise tensions between the teams. The two-time Vezina Trophy
recipient barely was tested the rest of the way en route to his 28th career
shutout.

Avalanche 5, Blackhawks 3

J.T. Compher had two goals and an assist, including a tiebreaking goal on a
breakaway with 5:22 remaining in the third period as Colorado held on for a
win at Chicago.

Carl Soderberg also scored twice for the Avalanche, who won their third
consecutive game. Gabriel Landeskog added a goal and an assist for Colorado.

The loss spoiled a historic night for Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane, who
tallied at least one point for the 20th game in a row. Kane owns the two
longest point streaks by a U.S.-born player in NHL history, including his
26-game streak during the 2015-16 season.

Wild 3, Red Wings 2

Devan Dubnyk made 26 saves to lift Minnesota to a win at Detroit, the first
time since Jan. 23 that the Wild followed up a win with another victory.
Minnesota had lost nine of its previous 11 games, going 2-6-3 in that span.

Luke Kunin had a goal and an assist for the Wild, who also got tallies from
Jordan Greenway and Eric Staal.

Tyler Bertuzzi and Anthony Mantha had goals for the Red Wings, with Dylan
Larkin assisting on both plays.

Patrik Laine scored twice to snap a 15-game goalless drought as the Winnipeg
Jets defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 6-3 Friday night in Las Vegas.
