THE Los Angeles Kings moved within a point of the NHL lead with a 3-2 shootout win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday.
Oscar Moller and Jack Johnson netted first-period goals for the Kings and Justin Williams scored in the eighth round of a shootout. Los Angeles capitalized on the absence of suspended Phoenix defenseman Ed Jovanovski in a victory over the Coyotes, who lost for the first time in six games.
The Coyotes answered the first three times the Kings scored in the shootout, but LA goalie Jonathan Quick denied Scottie Upshall after Williams' goal.
Radim Vrbata scored the tying goal for Phoenix during a power play with 16:48 left in regulation. Upshall also scored.
In Montreal, Pittsburgh ended the hosts' three-game streak with a 3-2 win and moved into a tie for first place in the Atlantic Division.
Pascal Dupuis scored the winner with a slap shot 13 minutes into the third period, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 19 saves.
Sergei Gonchar had a goal and an assist, and Matt Cooke also scored for the Penguins.
Matt D'Agostini and Roman Hamrlik scored on Montreal's first and third shots of the second period.
In Nashville, Tennessee, Steve Sullivan scored the winning goal in the fifth round of the shootout to lift Nashville 4-3 over Columbus.
Consecutive times
The Predators have defeated the Blue Jackets 13 consecutive times at home. Sullivan's wrist shot went under the goalie's pad for the winner.
Returning Dave Scatchard gave the Predators a 1-0 lead in the first period. Martin Erat and Jason Arnott scored in the second period for Nashville.
Blue Jackets defenseman Kris Russell and Raffi Torres also scored in the second, and Rick Nash tied it in the third.
In Vancouver, Canada, British Columbia, Daniel Sedin scored Vancouver's first three goals, and the Canucks held on to beat Atlanta 4-2.
Sedin opened the scoring on a wraparound 3 minutes in, and deflected in his second goal late in the first period. He got his hat-trick early in the second, when Atlanta forward Nik Antropov accidentally tipped Sedin's backdoor pass into the net.
Mason Raymond also scored for the Canucks.
Colby Armstrong and Antropov, on a power play, scored for the Thrashers.
In Boston, Mark Recchi scored twice in the final three minutes to seal Boston's 5-2 win over Toronto, moving the Bruins to the top of the Northeast Division.
In Philadelphia, Brian Elliott made 22 saves in his second NHL shutout, as Ottawa held off slumping Philadelphia 2-0.
