Montreal’s 32 points are tied with Dallas for most in the National Hockey League.
Travis Hamonic added a goal for NY.
After Brad Malone scored for the Hurricanes 7:47 into the third period, Toronto’s Nazem Kadri tied it 1-1 with 3:33 left.
Teemu Pulkkinen wins it with a Pulk-annon on the power play!
Petr Mrazek very almost denied that second Carter chance with the glove, but he only got enough of it to change its trajectory on the way in. What did they score, two goals in front of the net? “We’re going to continue to work on little details in his game, but he’s got a great motor and he’s extremely competitive”.
Pretty much the final horn of each period. The goal goes off a guy’s stick. The Flames have won four straight at the Saddledome.
ABOUT THE RED WINGS (9-8-2): Captain Henrik Zetterberg was encouraged despite Wednesday’s loss and told reporters he liked “everything except we couldn’t really find the back of the net”.
Jeff Carter scored twice but the Los Angeles Kings lost to the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2, on Friday night to drop to 5-2 on the road. Instead, it took over 14 minutes before Tatar knocked Abdelkaders pass into a wide-open net for a power-play goal, his sixth of the season.
There’s no shame in losing to the Red Wings at home.
However thankfully Larkin returned back after a few minutes and was back o the ice. Strong goal tending kept this game going into the second intermission.
The third period is where things got scary for all Red Wings fans everywhere. The Blues and Blackhawks made it to the second round of the playoffs by respectively beating the Jets and North Stars, with Chicago edging the Note, winning four of six games in the conference semi-finals. He has 26 goals in his career in 66 games against the Blues. Both goals were vintage Carter, the first coming on a shorthanded break in which he smoothly moved to the backhand, the second on a rush down the ice off a feed from Tyler Toffoli.
Mark Scheifele and Dustin Byfuglien also scored to help the Jets earn consecutive wins for the first time since October 31.
Taylor Hall put up a goal and two assists as well, and Anders Nilsson had 19 saves in the victory. If not for Tarasenko’s knack for scoring the timely goal, the game would have been over in regulation. The Predators outshot Columbus 39-18.
Pesky forechecking by fourth-line wingers Kerby Rychel and Josh Anderson, both recently recalled from the minors, led to Shea Weber coughing up the puck deep in his own zone. “It’s nice to score goals and obviously it’s a good feeling”. Johansen patiently glided toward Renne and deked him down before flicking in a backhand.

Detroit rookie Dylan Larkin, whose availability Saturday was a game-time decision due to a lower-body injury, scored what looked like the goal that would stand up as the game-winner. This time it was Jenner at 5:17 with his team-leading 10th. Larkin didn’t get an assist there, but he was rewarded 2:23 later when he popped Abdelkader’s rebound into an open net. “You’re still trying to kill the penalty”. He skated in circles with the puck at will before finally taking aim. Rinne was pulled for an extra attacker.
