Manny Legace made 31 saves for his 20th career shutout to lift St Louis to a 2-0 win over NHL-leading Detroit on Monday.

It was the first time Detroit, winner of 14 of its past 16 games, was held scoreless this season. St Louis snapped a four-game losing streak.

Sharks 3, Wild 2

In St Paul, Minnesota, Joe Thornton and Milan Michalek each had a pair of assists and San Jose made a mark in the NHL record book by beating Minnesota to record a 10th consecutive road win.

The Sharks last lost a road game on Nov. 9, and are now tied with four other teams for second on the NHL's list for consecutive road wins.

Detroit holds the record of 12 straight on the road in March and April of 2006.

Minnesota had won six of its previous eight games.

Coyotes 4, Avalanche 3, SO

In Glendale, Arizona, Peter Mueller and Radim Vrbata scored in a shootout to give Phoenix a win over Colorado.

Colorado had rallied to tie the game. Down 3-2, Cody McLeod's second goal of the season with 4:49 left in the third period forced overtime.

Predators 1, Stars 0

In Dallas, J.P. Dumont scored a second-period goal and Nashville ended a seven-game losing streak in Dallas.

Rookie Dan Ellis stopped 22 shots for his third career shutout.

Dumont provided the Predators with all the scoring they'd need at 16:42 of the second period, striking from in front of the net off a setup by Alexander Radulov.

Bruins 5, Thrashers 2

In Boston, Mark Stuart broke a tie in the second period before Phil Kessel and Matt Lashoff added insurance goals in the third as Boston ended a six-game skid with victory over Atlanta.

Boston's first goal of the game -- a power-play score by Dennis Wideman -- was the team's 18,000th, making the Bruins the second NHL team to reach that mark. Montreal has 18,886.

Blue Jackets 4, Oilers 2

In Columbus, Ohio, Rick Nash scored three times to break out of a goal-scoring slump and Columbus beat Edmonton.

The Blue Jackets have won three straight at home.

The Oilers are 0-4-2 in the past six games.

Islanders 4, Hurricanes 1

In Raleigh, North Carolina, Marc-Andre Bergeron had two goals and an assist, and New York scored three goals in a 3:39 stretch to beat Carolina.

Carolina remain on top of the mediocre Southeast Division despite losing successive games by a combined 8-2 and dropping four of six.

The Islanders won their fifth in six games.

Flames 2, Canucks 1

In Calgary, Alberta, Owen Nolan and Kristian Huselius scored and Calgary beat Vancouver for the first time in four tries this season.
