Devils dump Pens

Niclas Bergfors had a goal and two assists and the New Jersey Devils closed within a victory of tying the NHL record of 10 consecutive road victories to start a season, beating the slumping Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Thursday night.

Zach Parise added a goal and an assist, Andy Greene and David Clarkson also scored, Travis Zajac had three assists, and Martin Brodeur made 25 saves.

The Devils can tie the road streak record Monday in Philadelphia.

Phillips, Senators upend Penguins

Chris Phillips scored twice in his 800th regular-season game, and Pascal Leclaire made 25 saves, leading the Ottawa Senators to a 6-2 victory over the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.

Phillips, who entered with one goal in 18 games, scored goals 2:03 apart in the third to put Ottawa up 5-1 and chase Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.

Milan Michalek got his 100th career goal, and Matt Carkner, Chris Kelly and Jonathan Cheechoo also scored for Ottawa, which won its second in a row. Mike Fisher had three assists for the Senators.

Kariya helps Blues to victory

Paul Kariya scored two goals in the third period and the visiting St. Louis Blues got goals from Andy McDonald and Brad Boyes in the first two rounds of a shootout to beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-4 on Saturday.

Boyes and Keith Tkachuk had second-period goals for the Blues and Chris Mason recorded six of his 36 saves in overtime before thwarting Anze Kopitar and Jack Johnson in the shootout.

Kariya's second goal of the game and eighth of the season came during a power play with 2:20 remaining, giving him four in five games following a 14-game drought.

Cleary helps Red Wings rally for win over Rangers

Dan Cleary scored the tiebreaking goal with 2:03 left, and Jimmy Howard made 28 saves to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday night in Madison Square Garden.

The Red Wings, who have been trying to make the most of a sputtering offense, shook off an early 1-0 deficit.

After Marian Gaborik failed to control the puck and get off a shot in the Detroit end, Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom started a rush the other way. Henrik Zetterberg sent a pass to Cleary, who banked in a shot off the skate of goalie Henrik Lundqvist for his seventh goal.

Capitals extend win streak to 10

Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals made it a perfect 10.

Ovechkin scored the go-ahead goal with 6:26 left, and the Capitals tied a franchise record with their 10th straight win Sunday, beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2.

The reigning two-time league MVP slid on one knee and into the boards to celebrate his 35th goal of the season, a shot from the slot that beat Mike Smith to the stick side. The goal rescued the Capitals after Washington blew a two-goal lead.
