NHL ROUNDUP : Nieuwendyk’s Three Goals Fuel Calgary
Joe Nieuwendyk ended a personal slump by scoring three goals as the Calgary Flames defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 5-3, Monday night to move ahead of the second-place Kings by three points in the Smythe Division.
Nieuwendyk had not scored in Calgary’s previous five games.
Al MacInnis assisted on one of Nieuwendyk’s goals for his 700th point.
Montreal 2, Winnipeg 1--Denis Savard and Benoit Brunet scored 44 seconds apart during the second period at Montreal to help the Canadiens extend their unbeaten streak to eight games.
N.Y. Rangers 7, Buffalo 6--Darren Turcotte’s power-play goal 58 seconds into overtime capped a series of comebacks and gave the Rangers a victory at New York.
The Rangers tied the score with 31 seconds left in regulation on Tony Amonte’s power-play goal, then won it when Turcotte, stationed in the right circle, picked up a deflected shot and beat Daren Puppa with a 25-footer.
