NHL roundup: Penguins reclaim first in Metro

Patric Hornqvist and Jamie Oleksiak scored goals in the first period, and the Pittsburgh defense limited Dallas to just 18 shots as the Penguins outlasted the visiting Stars 3-1 on Sunday.

Pittsburgh recaptured first place in the Metropolitan Division with the win, which was its fourth in its past five matches.

Alexander Radulov scored a power-play goal for Dallas in the second period, but Pittsburgh sealed the win on Evgeni Malkin's empty-netter in the last minute.

Penguins goalie Casey DeSmith made 17 saves for the win, while Dallas' Kari Lehtonen stopped 27 shots.

Islanders 5, Flames 2

Christopher Gibson made 50 saves to earn his first NHL victory, and Johnny Boychuk led the offensive attack with a goal and two assists as visiting New York beat Calgary.

Anders Lee added two goals for the Islanders, who snapped an eight-game losing skid (0-4-4). Gibson, starting just his third game this season and fifth of his career, was under siege the final two periods but held strong enough.

With a pair of goals 28 seconds apart in the early going, the Islanders made it a horrible return for Flames goalie Mike Smith, who missed 13 games due to injury. Smith made 22 saves.

Blackhawks 3, Bruins 1

Patrick Kane scored the tiebreaking goal on the power play with 3:16 remaining in the third period, and host Chicago pulled away for a win over Boston.

Artem Anisimov and Brent Seabrook also scored for Chicago, which split its home-and-home weekend series against the Bruins. The Blackhawks snapped a two-game skid.

Zdeno Chara scored for the Bruins, whose six-game winning streak ended.

Coyotes 1, Canucks 0

Darcy Kuemper made 26 saves for his third shutout of the season as host Arizona blanked Vancouver.

The Coyotes improved to 10-3-2 in their past 15 games after beating the Canucks for the second time in less than a week. Vancouver has lost three straight and 14 of its past 18 games.

Arizona defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored the game's only goal, in the second period, and Kuemper held off the Canucks as they made a late charge in the closing moments.
