AP , SUNRISE, FLORIDA

Eric Lindros scored his sixth goal for the Maple Leafs, undefeated since going winless in their first three games.

Erik Cole, Oleg Tverdovsky, Ron Brind'Amour and Cory Stillman scored for the Hurricanes, who tied it after trailing 4-2 in the third.

Darcy Tucker, Alexander Steen and Matt Stajan had the other goals for Toronto.

Predators 3, Blues 2, SO

At Nashville, Tennessee, Tomas Vokoun turned away both shots he faced in the shootout with St. Louis and Nashville won its sixth straight to open the season.

The Predators have won half of their games by shootout and own the NHL's best mark (6-0). Steve Sullivan and Marek Zidlicky both scored past St. Louis goalie Patrick Lalime in the new tiebreaker, and Vokoun turned away Petr Cajanek and Doug Weight as the Blues fell to 2-4-1.

Jeremy Stevenson scored his first goal of the season for the Predators at 3:00 of the third period to make it 2-2. Dan Hamhuis also scored for Nashville.

Dean McAmmond and Eric Brewer had St. Louis goals.

Flames 3, Oilers 1

At Calgary, Alberta, Chuck Kobasew scored two goals, including the winner, to lead Calgary over Edmonton.

Miikka Kiprusoff made 28 saves to record his second victory in six days over the Oilers. Edmonton has dropped five straight after starting the season with a three-game winning streak.

Edmonton took a 1-0 lead in the first period on Ethan Moreau's first goal of the season.

Kobasew then gave Calgary a two-goal lead late in the game.

Canucks 3, Coyotes 2

At Vancouver, British Columbia, Matt Cooke scored a disputed goal 4:21 into the third period to give Vancouver a victory over Phoenix.

After being stymied by goaltender Curtis Joseph all night, the Canucks broke a 2-2 tie by pushing him and the puck into the net. Joseph stopped Ed Jovanovski on a breakaway, but momentum carried both of them into the net while a charging Cooke knocked the puck in just as the net was dislodged.

Referee Michael McGeough waved the goal off emphatically, but the call was overturned after a lengthy video review.

Nolan Baumgartner and Jovanovski scored their first goals of the season -- both on the power play -- as Vancouver won its fourth straight.

Keith Ballard and Geoff Sanderson scored for the Coyotes. Joseph finished with 35 saves.
