Kings knock off Red Wings

NEW YORK — Defenseman Alec Martinez’s powerplay goal to open the third period was the difference, and the Los Angeles Kings held on for a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at Staples Center Monday. Martinez ripped a rocket outside the right circle at 1:28 of the final period for his fifth goal of the season. Left-winger Dwight King added an empty-netter with 53 seconds remaining in the game for his third goal this season. Los Angeles forward Anze Kopitar had a goal and three assists, and center Tyler Toffoli scored a goal. Canucks 3 Panthers 2 (OT): Daniel Sedin scored his second goal of the game on a power-play goal in three-on-three overtime to give Vancouver a 3-2 victory over Florida. Sedin fired a shot from the point that beat Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo at 2:21 of overtime. It was Sedin’s 346th career goal, tying him for the Canucks franchise record with Markus Nasland. The Canucks were awarded the power play when Florida right-winger Jaromir Jagr was called for hooking at 2:07. Jussi Jokinen and Jonathan Huberdeau scored for the Atlantic Division-leading Panthers, who saw their 12-game win streak end. Jagr added an assist to extend his points streak to five consecutive games (4-2). Rangers 2, Bruins 1: Right winger Jesper Fast scored on a remarkable deflection with 1:42 remaining in the third period to help lift the New York Rangers to a 2-1 victory against the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden Monday. Rangers defenseman Keith Yandle launched a shot from the blue line that Fast tipped with his back to the net and a defenseman draped on him to help the Rangers rally from a 1-0 deficit entering the final period for a dramatic win. Rangers goaltender Hernik Lundqvist stopped 32 shots while Tuukka Rask made 28 saves for the Bruins. Sharks 5, Flames 4: Brent Burns scored a power-play goal early in the third and then assisted on the game winner by Joel Ward to lead San Jose to a win over Calgary at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Burns one-timed a pass from Patrick Marleau past Karri Ramo at 5:12 of the third and then set up Ward’s 12th goal of the season to give the Sharks a two-goal lead. Micheal Ferland scored Calgary’s third power-play goal of the game with 3:41 to play in regulation, but the Flames weren’t able to notch the equalizer. Joe Thornton had a goal and an assist, while Joonas Donskoi and Logan Couture also scored for the Sharks.
