Stars 1, Rangers 0

Ben Bishop hasn't had a lot of room for error when he shuts out opponents this season.

Bishop made 28 saves for his 28th career shutout, John Klingberg scored a second-period goal and Dallas beat the Rangers on Tuesday.

Dallas won its third straight and moved one point ahead of Minnesota in the race for the first wild card in the Western Conference.

Three of Bishop's four shutouts this season have been by a 1-0 score. His other shutout was a less-stressful 2-0 win.

"Didn't know that. Maybe we should start scoring less goals," Bishop joked. "That's just the way it's worked out."

Bishop also entered the third period with a 1-0 lead in a win Saturday at St. Louis.

"Our goalies have been instrumental throughout the whole process," Stars coach Jim Montgomery said. "I don't think (Bishop) had as hard a night as he had on others, but he managed the traffic in front of him really well."

Klingberg provided the offense 1:16 into the second period. He took a cross-ice pass from Miro Heiskanen at the blue line, skated to the top of the right circle and sent a wrist shot into the net off the left post.

"Post in, that's nice because it's usually post out," Klingberg said. "Miro made a great play. I talked to him. I was open. I got the puck on my tape. I saw someone screened the goalie really good."

Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev said he saw the shot coming.

"But I didn't see how it went in. There was a lot of traffic in front of me, so I tried to just move into the direction the puck was going and block it."

Georgiev had 31 saves for New York, which hasn't won in five games.

The game ended two seconds after a scrum in front of Bishop that resulted in 24 minutes in penalties, 20 against the Rangers. Ryan Strome had a cross-checking penalty and a game misconduct.

"Strome absolutely crushed (the Stars' Jason Dickinson) into me." Bishop said. "It's one of those where we don't play them the rest of this year, but we'll remember it next year."

The Rangers had only one minor penalty in the first two periods but racked up 35 minutes and killed four Dallas power plays in the third period. Mika Zibanejad received a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct when he knocked the Stars' Radek Faksa out of the game midway through the third.

"The linesman called it and he felt that (Zibanejad) hit (Faksa) in the head," Rangers coach David Quinn said. "That was the call, that was the explanation I got, and we had to kill a five-minute major."

The goalies had 11 saves each in the first period.

Georgiev had more difficult chances in the first. He stopped Faksa on a breakaway and gloved Jamie Benn's shot from the top of the left circle off a faceoff.

Bishop's best was at 17:40 on Vladislav Nemestnikov's shot as he skated down the slot.

Dallas killed three penalties in the first two periods. On the third, Zibanejad hit the crossbar behind Bishop.

The Stars' first power play followed. It was Tyler Seguin's turn to send a shot off a post.

New York killed a 5-on-3 power play in the third. With the Rangers still down a man, they nearly scored short-handed on a 2-on-1 break, but Brady Skjei shot wide right.

Islanders 5, Senators 4 (OT)

After giving up a two-goal lead in the third period, the New York Islanders were relieved to get the win in the shootout.

Jordan Eberle and Mathew Barzal scored in the tiebreaker and the Islanders beat Ottawa, giving coach Barry Trotz his 800th win.

Brock Nelson, Anders Lee, Devon Toews and Ross Johnston scored in regulation to help the Islanders snap a two-game skid.

"A little bit of an ugly third period for us, but we found a way at the end," Lee said. "Right now, the two points is the biggest thing."

Robin Lehner stopped 21 shots before leaving with an injury late in the third period. Thomas Greiss came on, stopped both shots he faced through overtime and denied Thomas Chabot and Bobby Ryan in the shootout.

The Islanders pulled into a tie with Washington atop the Metropolitan Division with identical 38-21-7 records and 34 regulation/overtime wins.

Trotz became the fourth coach in NHL history to reach the 800-win mark, joining Scotty Bowman (1,244), Joel Quenneville (890) and Ken Hitchcock (842).

With the Islanders coming in with three losses in four games on their season-high five-game homestand, and several players dealing with injuries and illness, Trotz said the milestone "was least on my mind today."

Lee, however, was glad to get his coach the win.

"It's really nice," he said. "He's had a heck of a career. Happy to close this one out and move on."

Oscar Lindberg, Ryan, Zack Smith and Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored for the Senators, who went to their first shootout this season and lost for the ninth time in 11 games. Craig Anderson finished with 34 saves.

"They're not at the top of the standings by accident," Ottawa interim coach Marc Crawford said. "(We) faltered a bit in the second. ... (In the third) we got rewarded by going hard to the net."

The teams meet again Thursday night at Ottawa to finish the home-and-home set.

"We got to clean up some stuff in our game, there's no question," Trotz said. "We'll go over it tomorrow and we'll see if we're healthier and see what we'll do in terms of lineups."

The Senators had the only shot on goal in the 3-on-3 overtime.

Ryan pulled the Senators to 4-3 as he deflected Christian Wolanin's shot past Lehner for his 14th at 7:38 of the third.

The Senators tied the score with 4:40 left as Brady Tkachuk plowed into Lehner and knocked the puck into the net. The goal was initially waved off, but the call was overturned after a video review determined Nelson pushed Tkachuk into the goalie.

Lehner was injured on the play and replaced by Greiss.

Trotz didn't have an update on Lehner's status after the game, saying, "We'll see where he is in the morning."

After a fast-paced first period that saw the Islanders take a 1-0 lead, the teams combined for five goals in the second — all in the first 10:02 of the period.

Gibbons tied the score 26 seconds into the middle period as he deflected Chabot's slap shot past Lehner's glove side for his fourth.

Toews put the Islanders back ahead at 2:34, beating Anderson on the blocker side for his fifth.

Lee pushed New York's lead to 3-1 as he deflected Nick Leddy's slap shot from the left point past Anderson's glove side for his 23rd at 5:45. It was also Lee's fifth goal in nine games.

Lindberg, acquired from Vegas in the deal that sent Mark Stone to the Golden Knights at the trade deadline, pulled Ottawa within one again 47 seconds later with his sixth of the season, and second in five games with the Senators.

Johnston restored New York's two-goal lead just past the midpoint of the period on the rebound of a shot by Leo Komarov. Johnston lifted the puck over the diving goalie, and it hit Johnston in the air and went in for his first of the season.

"It's awesome to see Ross score that goal," Lee said. "In a tough situation, (he) comes in and scores a big goal for us."

The Islanders outshot the Senators 26-8 in the second.

New York took a lead in the first period after the Senators turned the puck over in their defensive zone. Josh Bailey's one-timer off a pass from Nelson was stopped by Anderson. However, the puck bounded in front and Nelson backhanded it in for his 21st at 5:22.

Blue Jackets 2, Devils 1 (SO)

Cam Atkinson and Artemi Panarin scored in the shootout and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped both New Jersey attempts to give Columbus the win.

Atkinson also scored the Columbus goal in regulation. Bobrovsky had 29 saves as the Blue Jackets beat the Devils for the seventh straight time, including all four this season.

Travis Zajac scored for New Jersey in regulation and Cory Schneider had 17 saves as the Devils lost their fourth in a row.

Lightning 5, Jets 2

Nikita Kucherov tied the Lightning's single-season points record with a pair of assists to lead Tampa Bay to a victory against Winnipeg.

Kucherov's two points gave him 108 on the season to tie the single-season mark set by Vincent Lecavalier in the 2006-07 season when he finished with 52 goals and 58 assists.

The league-leading Lightning improved to 14-1-2 in the past 17 games.

Steven Stamkos scored his 34th goal of the season and 382nd of his career and is one shy of tying Lecavalier's career franchise record.

Brayden Point, Adam Erne and Yanni Gourde also scored for Tampa Bay.

Andrei Vasilevskiy finished with 30 saves for his 10th consecutive victory and improved to 11-0-2 in his past 13 starts.

Blake Wheeler and Jacob Trouba scored for Winnipeg, which fell to 2-3 in the past five games.

Penguins 3, Panthers 2 (OT)

Jake Guentzel scored on a breakaway 2:44 into overtime to lift Pittsburgh past Florida.

Guentzel took a lead pass from Sidney Crosby and slipped a backhand by Roberto Luongo for his second goal of the night and 33rd this season. Pittsburgh picked up two vital points as it tries to create some breathing room in its pursuit of a playoff berth.

Crosby finished with a goal and two assists on the night he became the 48th player in NHL history to reach 1,200 points. Matt Murray had 32 saves for the Penguins.

Henrik Borgstrom and Vincent Trocheck scored for the Panthers but Florida dropped its fifth straight, four of them in overtime.

Ducks 3, Coyotes 1

Adam Henrique and Troy Terry scored power-play goals in the third period, Anaheim ended Arizona's NHL-long six-game winning streak.

Jakob Silfverberg had a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who had scored only seven goals while losing five of their previous six.

Lawson Crouse scored his career-high 11th goal for the Coyotes, who had won the first four games of a season-long seven-game homestand.

Ducks backup goaltender Ryan Miller made 22 saves. He had lost his previous two starts.

Predators 5, Wild 4 (SO)

Ryan Johansen scored the lone goal in a shootout and Nashville got its second win against Minnesota in three nights.

Johansen also got the game-winner in the fourth round of a shootout Sunday when the Predators edged the Wild 3-2 in Minnesota. This time, he scored after Kyle Turris, Ryan Ellis and Filip Forsberg all were stopped.

Viktor Arvidsson had a goal and an assist. Roman Josi, Brian Boyle and Craig Smith also scored for Nashville.

Kevin Fiala scored two goals in his first multi-goal game this season against his old team, the second forcing OT to earn the Wild a point in their seventh straight game. Pontus Aberg and Eric Fehr each scored for Minnesota, which entered in the second wild-card slot in the Western Conference.

Avalanche 4, Red Wings 3 (OT)

Nathan MacKinnon scored 2:29 into overtime and also had an assist to help Colorado rally past skidding Detroit.

MacKinnon's 34th goal of the season gave Colorado two valuable points in the Western Conference wild-card chase. The Avalanche kept pace with Dallas and gained a point on Minnesota, which lost in a shootout at Nashville.

Mikko Rantanen had a goal and two assists for Colorado, and Tyson Barrie tied it late in the third period. He also had an assist.

Filip Zadina, Niklas Kronwall and Danny DeKeyser scored for Detroit, and Jonathan Bernier made 30 saves.
