NHL-Highlights of NHL games on Saturday

Feb 20 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of NHL games on Saturday. Panthers 3, Winnipeg 1 Jaromir Jagr scored a pair of goals on a record-setting night to lead the Florida Panthers to a 3-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday. The tally gave Jagr 742 goals on his career, moving him past Brett Hull for third place in NHL history. Capitals 4, Devils 3 Brooks Orpik scored with 3:58 left as Washington tallied twice in the final 6:05 to rally past New Jersey for its third straight win. Orpik took a pass from Evgeny Kuznetsov and fired high past Cory Schneider from the left circle for his second goal of the season. Reid Boucher gave New Jersey a 3-2 lead with 8:56 left in the game, but Washington's T.J. Oshie tied it from his knees in the slot with 6:05 left when he back-handed the puck off a pair of Devils' skates and into the net. Flyers 5, Maple Leafs 4 (OT) Shayne Gostisbehere scored 29 seconds into overtime and Philadelphia defeated Toronto. Gostisbehere, who has scored at least one point in 15 straight games, was set up by a pass in front of the goal by Jakub Voracek. The Maple Leafs trailed 3-1 in the second period and battled back to take a 4-3 lead in the third only to have the Flyers tie it. Lightning 4, Penguins 2 Tampa Bay' Matthew Carle had a goal and an assist after going without a point all season and the Lightning finished off a season sweep of Pittsburgh. Anton Stralman and Steven Stamkos and Tyler Johnson also scored and Ben Wilson made 37 saves as the Lightning went 3-0 against the Penguins, outscoring them 15-9 during their first such sweep since the 2006-07 season. Senators 3, Red Wings 2 (SO) Kyle Turris scored the shootout winner as the Ottawa Senators staged a late rally to defeat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Saturday night at Canadian Tire Centre. Turris, who has not scored in 23 games, was the only player to find the back of the net in the shootout. Senators defenseman Dion Phaneuf tied the score with a shot from the point with 3:51 left in the third period. Blues 6, Coyotes 4 St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock was concerned because Arizona had scored six goals in each of its last two games. Hitchcock clearly wasn't consulting his history books. Not even an Arizona goal 23 seconds into the game could keep the Blues from doing what they always seem to do in Glendale. Vladimir Tarasenko, Jaden Schwartz, Alex Steen and Carl Gunnarsson all scored in an 8:58 span of the first period and St. Louis cruised their seventh straight victory in Glendale. The Blues last lost here on March 22, 2011. Bruins 7, Stars 3 Brad Marchand scored two goals and Tuukka Rask stopped 26 of 29 shots to help Boston beat Dallas. Kevan Miller, Loui Eriksson, David Krejci, Brett Connolly and Matt Beleskey also scored for the Bruins, who finished its season-long six-game road trip at 4-2-0. Kings 2, Predators 1 Tanner Pearson scored on a wrist shot with 3:42 left in overtime, lifting Los Angeles to the win. The win ended the Kings' three-game skid. Los Angeles' overtime record improved to 11-4 and the Predators' overtime record fell to 3-11. Ryan Ellis scored for the Predators. Jake Muzzin also scored for the Kings. Avalanche 3, Oilers 2 Colorado tightened its grip on a playoff spot by choking out Edmonton. The Avs, who came into the game with a two-point lead for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference, increased it to four by shutting down the Oilers at Rexall Place. Tyson Barrie had two goals and an assist as the Avs handed the struggling Oilers their fourth straight home loss.
