Fleury picked up his league-leading 27th victory.

William Karlsson and Max Pacioretty each added a goal and an assist, and Oscar
Lindberg and Shea Theodore also scored goals for Vegas. Paul Stastny and Colin
Miller both finished with two assists.

Phil Kessel, who scored the game-winning goal in overtime on Friday night at
Arizona, Sidney Crosby and Dominik Simon scored goals for Pittsburgh, while
Jake Guentzel finished with two assists. Casey DeSmith finished with 28 saves

Monahan each scored as visiting Calgary handed Edmonton a defeat.

Goalie David Rittich made 22 saves for the Western Conference-leading Flames,
who won on consecutive nights and are on a 7-0-1 run.

Calgary had lost five straight in Edmonton prior to Saturday's win.

Wild 2, Blue Jackets 1

Goals by Jordan Greenway and Zach Parise 89 seconds apart late in the first
period were all the offense Minnesota needed for a victory over Columbus in
St. Paul, Minn.

Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk made 19 saves for the much-needed victory, as
Minnesota had just one win in four previous outings as it's in the thick of
the wild card battle.

Greenway, the Wild's second-round draft pick in 2015, opened the scoring at
16:07 of the first period.

Panthers 4, Predators 2

Vincent Trocheck and Aaron Ekblad each had a goal and an assist to lead
visiting Florida to a win over Nashville.

Frank Vatrano and Jared McCann also scored, and Colton Sceviour notched two
assists for the Panthers.

The win was the 800th in Florida franchise history.

Flyers 5, Canadiens 2

Nolan Patrick scored twice and Carter Hart made 33 saves as visiting
Philadelphia earned a win over Montreal.

Patrick's eighth and ninth goals of the season came in the third period,
sealing the Flyers' third consecutive victory. After enduring a 24-game goal
drought, Patrick now has four goals in his last three games. The center also
had two goals against the Minnesota Wild on Monday.

Hart improved to 6-5-1 after 12 career NHL games, as the rookie continues to
stabilize Philadelphia's goaltending situation. Hart has a 2.66 goals-against
average in his young career.

Lightning 6, Sharks 3

Steven Stamkos had two goals and an assist while Alex Killorn and Yanni Gourde
both snapped goal droughts as Tampa Bay entered its bye week on a positive
note with a victory over visiting San Jose.

The Sharks played without star defenseman Erik Karlsson.

Killorn went 10 games without a goal before putting the NHL-leading Lightning
up 2-0 with 2:09 left in the first period on his 11th of the season.

Blues 3, Senators 2

Carl Gunnarsson scored the tie-breaking goal with 7:44 left in the third
period for the host St. Louis, which hung on to edge Ottawa.

Vladimir Tarasenko and Vince Dunn also scored for the Blues, who snapped a
two-game losing streak in their final home game of the month. St. Louis is
scheduled to embark on a five-game road trip spanning the All-Star break
before returning to Enterprise Center on Feb. 9.

Rookie Jordan Binnington recorded 28 saves to improve to 4-0-1 as an NHL
starter.

Rangers 3, Bruins 2

Mika Zibanejad scored twice, and Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves to move into
sole possession of sixth place on the NHL's all-time wins list as visiting New
York skated to a victory over Boston.

Tuukka Rask, who was bidding to become the Bruins' all-time winningest
goaltender, sustained a concussion with 1:28 remaining in the first period
following a collision with Filip Chytil. The Rangers forward was credited with
a goal despite barreling into Rask after being tripped by the stick of Bruins
defenseman Charlie McAvoy.

Rask, who won the 2013-2014 Vezina Trophy, remained on the ice for several
minutes before being helped to his feet by the training staff. The 31-year-old
Finn made six saves before being replaced by Jaroslav Halak, who turned aside
11 shots as Boston fell for the third time in four games (1-2-1).

Stars 4, Jets 2

Tyler Seguin had a goal and an assist, and John Klingberg and Esa Lindell each
had a pair of assists as Dallas outlasted visiting Winnipeg in the final game
for both teams before the NHL All-Star break.

The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for Dallas. It was just the
Stars' second game in their past eight that they scored more than two goals.

Dallas dominated early, scoring three times in the first 33 minutes and
outshooting the Central Division-leading Jets 28-12 in the first two periods.

Avalanche 7, Kings 1

Colorado erupted for six goals in the second period in its win against
visiting Los Angeles.

leaving with an upper-body injury, and Carl Soderberg and Gabriel Landeskog
each tallied a goal and an assist for Colorado in the opener of a five-game
homestand.

and Matt Calvert each had two assists, and Semyon Varlamov made 30 saves.

in a row after snapping a monthlong, 12-game losing streak with a 3-0 victory
Thursday at Minnesota. Goaltender John Gibson made 29 saves.

Marcus Johansson and Jesper Bratt scored for the Devils, who lost their third
in a row. Mackenzie Blackwood had a light workload, stopping 11 of 14 shots.
