Recaps of yesterday's NHL games

RED WINGS 6, BRUINS 5

DETROIT (AP) — Pavel Datsyuk scored twice to surpass 900 NHL points, and Henrik Zetterberg and Darren Helm also had two goals apiece to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a wild 6-5 victory over the Boston Bruins on Sunday.

Both teams blew two-goal leads before Danny DeKeyser's shot from the point deflected past goalie Jonas Gustavsson with 12:23 remaining in the game. Zetterberg was credited with the goal, and the Red Wings held on to their 6-5 lead the rest of the way.

Boston's Brad Marchand set a franchise record for fastest goal by scoring 8 seconds into the game, and Zach Trotman, Loui Eriksson, Dennis Seidenberg and Joonas Kemppainen also scored for the Bruins.

Boston's Tuukka Rask was pulled after allowing five goals on 24 shots. It was the second time in three games he allowed five goals.

RANGERS 3, FLYERS 1

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Stepan scored twice in the third period to lead New York past Philadelphia.

Derick Brassard scored early and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 21 shots to help the Rangers improve to 5-0-1 in their last six games. They also beat the Flyers at home for the 11th time in 12 games.

Brayden Schenn spoiled Lundqvist's shutout with 9.7 seconds left with his 16th goal of the season, but the Flyers lost for the fifth time in six games. Steve Mason finished with 27 saves.

Stepan's first score, at 10:34 of the third, was his 100th career goal. Brassard tied his career high with 19 and matched Mats Zuccarello for the team lead.

DEVILS 1, KINGS 0

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Keith Kinkaid made 25 saves for his first NHL shutout, and David Schlemko scored in New Jersey's victory over Los Angeles.

New Jersey won its third straight to pass the idle New York Islanders for third place in the Metropolitan Division. Los Angeles has split the first four outings of their seven-game trip.

Schlemko scored on a power play in the first period, beating goalie Jhonas Enroth through a screen.

BLUES 2, LIGHTNING 1

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Robby Fabbri and Patrik Berglund scored on breakaways and Brian Elliott stopped 37 shots in St. Louis's victory over Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night.

Elliott allowed only Nikita Kucherov's goal in the final minute.

Tampa Bay lost for the third time in four games and had a nine-game home winning streak stopped.

SABRES 4, AVALANCHE 1

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sam Reinhart had a goal and an assist as part of a three-goal first period, leading Buffalo past Colorado.

Jack Eichel, Evander Kane and Marcus Foligno also scored and Robin Lehner made 34 saves to help Buffalo snap an 0-6-4 skid against Colorado. Erik Johnson scored for Colorado.
