NHL ROUNDUP : Defenseman Ozolinsh Gives Sharks Victory
Sandis Ozolinsh scored with 1:59 remaining to give the San Jose Sharks a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday at San Jose.
Ozolinsh was too deep in the offensive zone and not in good position to get back on defense when he took a pass from Johan Garpenlov and scored the winner.
“I was in the wrong place at the right time,” the defenseman said with a grin.
Florida 2, Vancouver 1--Brian Benning and Bob Kudelski scored power-play goals and Mark Fitzpatrick made 33 saves for the Panthers at Miami.
New Jersey 3, Tampa Bay 3--Bernie Nichols, formerly of the Kings, scored two goals for the Devils at St. Petersburg, Fla., and became the 39th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 points.
Pittsburgh 3, Philadelphia 0--Mario Lemieux, in his second game since returning from back problems, scored two goals and goaltender Tom Barrasso recorded his 20th shutout at Philadelphia.
Dallas 5, Buffalo 3--Mike Modano scored two goals at Buffalo, N.Y., leading the Stars to their sixth straight road victory.
