NHL Roundup : Flames Defeat Oilers in Fight-Marred Game

Mike Bullard scored two power-play goals as the Calgary Flames defeated the Edmonton Oilers, 7-4, in a fight-marred game Saturday night at Calgary.

Bullard’s first goal, his 39th of the season, at 3:50 of the second period gave the Flames a 4-1 lead. His second, at 9:28 of the third period, increased Calgary’s lead to 6-3.

The victory moved Calgary three points ahead of Edmonton in the Smythe Division race.

Calgary’s Brad McCrimmon scored a short-handed goal with 17 seconds remaining, and that triggered the last of a series of fights, and several fans through debris at the Oilers’ bench.

Referee Bob Myers assessed a total of 206 minutes in penalties to the two teams, including six game misconducts and three 10-minute misconducts.

Winnipeg 10, Toronto 1--Paul MacLean scored three goals and Dale Hawerchuk added two goals and four assists as the Jets routed the Leafs at Toronto.

Hawerchuk’s six points tied the Jets’ single-game record he shared with two other players. Hawerchuk also scored six points against the Leafs on Dec. 14, 1983.

Andrew McBain, Steve Rooney, Doug Smail, Laurie Boschman and Mark Kumpel scored the other Winnipeg goals. Tom Fergus was the only Leaf to beat Jet goaltender Daniel Berthiaume.

Detroit 4, St. Louis 4--Bernie Federko scored on a wraparound at 3:42 of the third period, climaxing a two-goal rally that gave the Blues a tie at home.

St. Louis, winless in its last four games, remained 11 points behind first-place Detroit in NHL Norris Division standings with 13 regular-season games remaining.

Federko had two assists to go with his 15th goal of the year, and Doug Gilmour had two goals and an assist for the Blues.

Hartford 3, New York Rangers 1--Carey Wilson assisted on the tying goal and scored the game-winner with 10:11 left as the Whalers beat the Rangers at Hartford.

Wilson set up defenseman Ulf Samuelsson’s seventh goal of the season at 7:30 of the final period, tying the score 1-1. Wilson then scored the game-winner by tucking in a rebound after New York goaltender Bob Froese had stopped Dave Babych’s shot.

New Jersey 7, Boston 6--Andy Brickley scored his second goal of the game 47 seconds into overtime to give the Devils a come-from-behind win at Boston.

Brickley jammed in a rebound after Devils’ defenseman Jack O’Callahan tied the score with his second goal of the game with 1:53 remaining in regulation time.

Bob Joyce, playing in his first NHL game for Boston, scored twice for the Bruins.

Pittsburgh 8, New York Islanders 3--Randy Cunneyworth and Rob Brown scored nine seconds apart to start a five-goal third period as the Penguins routed the Islanders at Pittsburgh.

Bryan Trottier scored twice for the Islanders, who led 2-0 after 5:01 of the first period.

Chicago 4, Minnesota 2--Brian Noonan’s unassisted goal with 4:44 left in the game broke a 2-2 tie and the Blackhawks went on to beat the North Stars at Bloomington, Minn.
