Recaps of last night's NHL games

CANADIENS 2, RED WINGS 3

DETROIT - Darren Helm's second goal with 6:01 left in the third period broke a tie and lifted the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 comeback win over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.

Helm scored 1:12 after Justin Abdelkader pulled Detroit into a 2-all tie, scoring off his right skate on a goal that stood after video review.

Petr Mrazek made 21 saves for the Red Wings, whose 12-game point streak matches their longest since 2010.

The Atlantic Division-leading Canadiens have lost four straight, their worst skid in a season that started with a 9-0 record and 18 wins in their first 24 games.

Montreal's Tomas Fleischmann scored a go-ahead goal 4:30 into the third period, but goaltender Dustin Tokarski could not make enough saves to seal the win.

LIGHTNING 4, SENATORS 1

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Nikita Kucherov had two goals, Ben Bishop made 30 saves and Tampa Bay beat Ottawa.

Valtteri Filppula and J.T. Brown also scored for the Lightning.

Ottawa got a goal from Cody Ceci.

Kucherov opened the scoring from the slot off a pass from Steven Stamkos during a 5-on-3 power play with 7.5 seconds left in the first. The two-man advantage came after both Chris Wideman and Mark Borowiecki were given minor penalties with 1:16 left in the first.

Kucherov made it 3-0 on a rebound of his own shot at 8:33 of the third.

Ceci got his first goal in 15 games to end Bishop's shutout bid with 7:54 to play in the third.
