Game Score: Lightning 4, Panthers 3, SO

SUNRISE, Fla. — Dominic Moore scored the shootout winner to lift the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers on Sunday night.

Ryan Malone, Steven Stamkos, and Teddy Purcell also scored for the Lightning. Dwayne Roloson stopped all 29 shots he faced after coming in late in the first period in relief of Mathieu Garon.

Game Score: Rangers 3, Jets 0

NEW YORK — Marian Gaborik scored on an odd-man rush and into an empty net in the third period and Derek Stepan had a goal and an assist to help the New York Rangers beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 Sunday night. Martin Biron stopped 23 shots for his first shutout in more than two years, improving to 3-0 in his fourth appearance of the season.

The Rangers won their fourth straight despite another inefficient performance by the power play. The Jets still are 3-2-1 on a seven-game road trip. A night after they only scored on a two-man advantage in nine power plays, the Rangers came up empty in more than 90 seconds of two-man advantage. For Gaborik’s second goal, he backhanded the puck up and over Zach Bogosian from the blue line into the empty net.

Game Score: Canucks 6, Blackhawks 2

CHICAGO — Henrik Sedin had a goal and three assists and Vancouver converted five of six power plays to lift the Canucks to a 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night.

David Booth, Aaron Rome, Daniel Sedin and Dan Hamhuis each added power-play goals and Jannik Hansen had Vancouver’s only even-strength score as the Canucks (7-7-1) handed the Blackhawks their first regulation home loss. Michael Frolik and Marcus Kruger scored for Chicago (8-3-3), which went 0-for-5 on the power play and has scored just once in its last 26 chances. Vancouver’s Roberto Luongo made 38 saves to help the Canucks end a two-game slide.

Chicago’s Corey Crawford blocked 32 shots.

Game Score: Flames 2, Avalanche 1

DENVER — Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 32 shots, Mark Giordano and Curtis Glencross each had a goal and the Calgary Flames beat the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 on Sunday night.

Calgary’s Alex Tanguay and Scott Hannan each had an assist against their old team.

Semyon Varlamov had 21 saves and Paul Stastny scored the lone goal for the Avalanche, which fell to 1-5 on home ice. They’ve scored just eight goals in those six home games.

The Flames got the tie-breaking goal on a power play early in the second period. With Milan Hejduk off for tripping, Tanguay threw a shot to the front of the net. The puck bounced off Glencross and by Varlamov to make it 2-1. It was Glencross’ fourth goal.
