THE Philadelphia Flyers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 yesterday in the only regular-season rematch of last year's Stanley Cup finals combatants.
Jeff Carter had two goals and an assist, rookie Sergei Bobrovsky made 30 saves, while Nikolay Zherdev and Scott Hartnell also scored for Chicago.
Bobrovsky lost a bid for his first career shutout in the third period when Marian Hossa scored on a penalty shot. Philadelphia improved to a league-leading 69 points and is 9-2-0 in its past 11.
Defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago lost in regulation for the first time since January 5.
Lightning 7, Thrashers 1
In Tampa, Steven Stamkos notched his NHL-best 38th goal to take over sole possession of the league scoring lead and help Tampa Bay rout Atlanta.
The Southeast leaders beat the Thrashers for the 11th straight time, completing a six-game sweep of the season series between the division rivals.
Martin St. Louis, Nate Thompson, Dana Tyrell and Simon Gagne joined Stamkos in scoring during a five-goal second period that quickly got away from Atlanta. The Thrashers have dropped seven of their past eight games.
Stamkos hiked it to 3-0 when he redirected St. Louis' shot past Pavelec to move ahead of injured Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby for sole possession of the league points lead with 67. The first-time All-Star has seven goals in his past six games and has been especially tough on Atlanta with nine goals and three assists this season. Crosby has missed eight straight games because of a concussion.
Gagne had a second goal in the third period, and Pavel Kubina also scored for Tampa Bay.
Rich Peverley got Atlanta's sole goal with just over 4 minutes remaining.
Predators 3, Oilers 2, SO
In Edmonton, Cody Franson scored the lone shootout goal and Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne turned aside all three Edmonton shooters.
Rinne got a huge break in overtime after losing his stick on a wild scramble on an Edmonton power play. Shawn Horcoff beat Rinne with a diving backhander, but the puck struck the unattended stick on the goal line and deflected out. A video review confirmed the puck didn't fully cross the line.
The Predators have won three straight, all on the road. The Oilers, last in the conference, have dropped five in a row.
Nashville defenseman Alexander Sulzer opened the scoring midway through the first period, which held until Andrew Cogliano tied it early in the third.
Joel Ward gave Nashville a 2-1 lead on a power-play with 5:55 left, but Oilers rookie Taylor Hall tied it with 3:47 remaining in regulation. .
Sabres 5, Islanders 3
In Uniondale, New York, Nathan Gerbe snapped a tie early in the third period with a power-play goal, lifting Buffalo over New York.
With drama and intrigue surrounding the Islanders one day after they claimed veteran goalie Evgeni Nabokov off waivers from Detroit, New York was unable to beat Buffalo for the third time in nine days.
The Islanders claimed the 35-year-old Nabokov off waivers Saturday. Nabokov had his heart set on joining the contending Red Wings and has so far decided not to report to the lowly Islanders.
Devils 5, Panthers 2
In Newark, New Jersey, Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and two assists, Jason Arnott scored twice and resurgent New Jersey extended its winning streak to four by defeating Florida.
Brian Rolston and Patrik Elias also scored for the Devils, who have picked up points in seven straight games.
The Devils are trying to climb out of a huge hole. They fell to the bottom of the NHL standings with a 10-29-2 record before the hot streak, a slide that cost coach John MacLean his job just before Christmas.
Shawn Matthias and Marty Reasoner scored for the Panthers, who have dropped four in a row.
