Stephen Weiss and Gregory Campbell scored 12 seconds apart in the second period and Craig Anderson made 37 saves for his sixth NHL shutout in Florida’s 4-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday.
With Florida leading 1-0 on Ville Peltonen’s breakaway goal earlier in the second, Weiss and Campbell connected in quick-strike fashion to knock out Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist for the second time in three home games.
Anderson, making his second straight start over No. 1 goalie Tomas Vokoun, had his second shutout of the season. Michael Frolik added a goal and assist for Florida.
BLUES 4, THRASHERS 2
At Atlanta, Keith Tkachuk tied it at 2-all late in the second period for his 1,000th point, and Brad Boyes scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third for St. Louis.
Tkachuk, in his 17th NHL season, has 511 goals and 489 assists in 1,077 regular-season games. Jay McClement added an empty-net goal and David Backes also scored.
Colby Armstrong and Niclas Havelid scored for Atlanta. The Thrashers have lost six of their last seven games.
STARS 4, OILERS 3
At Dallas, Mike Modano scored on a power play with 2:21 remaining to give the Dallas Stars a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.
Modano broke a tie with his 537th career goal, beating rookie Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers from the left circle off a feed from Brad Richards. Modano, the career goal leader among US-born players, became the 31st NHL player to reach 1,300 points.
Sean Avery gave Dallas — last in the Western Conference — a 3-2 lead with 5:09 remaining off a centering pass from rookie James Neal, but the Oilers tied it with 3:22 left on Kyle Brodziak’s goal off a rebound, his second goal of the game.
Toby Petersen scored his first goal in two seasons, and Mike Ribeiro added a power-play goal for Dallas. Ales Hemsky also scored for Edmonton.
DUCKS 4, HURRICANES 1
In Raleigh, North Carolina, Rob Niedermayer and Teemu Selanne scored in a 1:09 span of the third period, and Niedermayer added another goal to help the Anaheim Ducks beat the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Ducks tied a team record by earning at least a point in their eighth consecutive road game.
