Flopping Penguins continue to slip up

NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Pittsburgh's rapid fall from grace has been steep and almost without rival in recent NHL history. Only the Nordiques were worse

AP , PITTSBURGH AND NEW YORK

Mighty Ducks 1, Coyotes 1

In Glendale, Arizona, Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 37 saves in his season-high eighth straight start.

Jason Krog scored for the Mighty Ducks. Daymond Langkow scored and Brian Boucher made 23 saves for the Coyotes, who are 2-9-2-1 in their last 14 games. Phoenix's 10-13-5-2 home record and 27 points are the worst totals in the Western Conference.

Sharks 4, Blue Jackets 2

In San Jose, California, Jonathan Cheechoo scored the first of his two third-period goals on a penalty shot. Marco Sturm and Alyn McCauley scored first-period goals for the division-leading Sharks, who returned from a six-game road trip for their fourth victory in five games. Evgeni Nabokov made 24 saves.

San Jose also extended the Blue Jackets' road winless streak to 11 games (0-8-3). Columbus hasn't won on the road since a 3-2 overtime victory at the Shark Tank on Jan. 8.
