NHL ROUNDUP : After Six Years, Chicago Gets a Shutout on Road

Ed Belfour stopped 22 shots and the Chicago Blackhawks posted their first road shutout in more than six years with a 4-0 victory over the Red Wings at Detroit Monday night.

It was also Belfour’s NHL-leading 24th victory.

Blackhawk captain Dirk Graham, who had two goals, praised Belfour, saying: “(Belfour) is playing super hockey for us. He deserves the success he’s had.”

Belfour faced only 11 shots in the first two periods as the Blackhawks checked the Red Wings to a standstill.

Calgary 7, Montreal 2--Rookie Robert Reichel broke a 1-1 tie late in the second period at Calgary as the Flames ended the Canadiens’ five-game unbeaten streak.

Reichel used Montreal defenseman Petr Svoboda as a screen and beat J.C. Bergeron with a 20-footer at 15:56. Theoren Fleury made it 3-1 at 17:55.

Calgary put the game away in the third period on goals by Mark Hunter, Stephane Matteau and Gary Roberts.

Buffalo 5, Philadelphia 2--Alexander Mogilny, who hadn’t scored in nine games, picked up his ninth and 10th goals of the season and added two assists at Buffalo as the Sabres extended their unbeaten streak to five games (3-0-2).

Dale Hawerchuk, Grant Ledyard and Pierre Turgeon also scored for Buffalo and Rick Tocchet and Murray Craven scored for the Flyers, who had won the first two games of their seven-game road trip.

Pittsburgh 4, St. Louis 3--Mark Recchi scored two goals, the second with 3:11 to play at Pittsburgh, as the Penguins ended a five-game losing streak to the Blues.

Goalie Tom Barrasso won his seventh consecutive decision, tying Roberto Romano’s team record, set in 1986.

The Penguins have won nine of their past 11, and the Blues have lost three in a row.

Winnipeg 2, Vancouver 1--Phil Housley’s 12th goal of the season, at 8:42 of the third period, broke a tie at Winnepeg as the Jets won their third game in a row to move them within four points of the fourth-place Canucks in the Smythe Division.

Jay Mazur gave the Canucks a 1-0 lead early in the second period. Pat Elynuik tied it midway through the period with a power-play goal.

N.Y. Islanders 6, Quebec 3--Derek King ended an 18-game scoring slump with four goals at Uniondale, N.Y., as the Islanders beat the Nordiques.

The victory gave the Islanders points in eight of their past 10 games (5-2-3).
