NHL ROUNDUP : Timing Is Impeccable for Burr

Detroit’s Shawn Burr has scored only three goals this season, but each has helped to keep the Red Wings unbeaten in their past four games (3-0-1).

Burr’s goal at 14:11 of the third period lifted the Red Wings to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at Detroit. His first goal of the season tied a game with Calgary last week, and his second goal was a game-winner against Hartford two nights later.

The Red Wings trailed until Lee Norwood’s second goal of the season beat Blackhawk goalie Ed Belfour to pull Detroit into a 2-2 tie at 8:33 of the third period.

New York Islanders 4, Winnipeg 1--Brent Sutter scored twice and goaltender Jeff Hackett stopped 41 shots to lead the Islanders over the Jets at Uniondale, N.Y.

Thomas Steen scored the only Islander goal with 3:40 to play.

Philadelphia 5, Pittsburgh 1--Scott Mellanby scored twice and helped goalie Ken Wregget win his fourth in a row as the Flyers beat the Penguins at Pittsburgh.

Mark Recchi ruined Wregget’s shutout with a power-play goal at 5:51 of the third period.

Hartford 1, Quebec 1--The Whalers’ Todd Krygier and the Nordiques’ Michel Petit traded power-play goals in the second period at Quebec as the Nordiques extended their unbeaten string to four games.

St. Louis 5, Edmonton 2--Brett Hull had a goal and two assists to lead the Blues over the Oilers at Edmonton.

Paul Cavallini, Dave Lowry, Geoff Courtnall and Scott Stevens also scored for the Blues.
