NHL ROUNDUP : Jagr Wins Scoring Title, but Penguins Lose

Jaromir Jagr brought another NHL scoring title to Pittsburgh, which got used to them from Mario Lemieux, but the championship Jagr most wants--another Stanley Cup--is looking ever more elusive to his Penguins.

Pittsburgh blew a two-goal lead to lose its season-high third game in a row, falling to Florida, 4-3, Wednesday night at home.

Jagr, with a flurry of four goals and an assist in his last three games, became the first European player to lead the NHL in scoring. He and Philadelphia’s Eric Lindros tied with 70 points apiece in the shortened 48-game season, but Jagr led, 32-29, in goals.

Quebec 4, Hartford 1--Adrei Kovalenko scored twice as the Nordiques won at Quebec to clinch the top spot in the East.

Ottawa 4, Tampa Bay 3--Evgeny Davydov’s goal broke a 1-1 tie in the third period and Steve Larouche scored 11 seconds later at St. Petersburg, Fla., leading the Senators to their fourth victory in their last five games.

Buffalo 5, New Jersey 4--Curtis Brown and Wayne Primeau each scored goals in their NHL debuts to lift the Sabres to a victory at home.

Boston 4, Montreal 2--Ted Donato and Adam Oates scored in the second period for the Bruins at Montreal.

Detroit 3, St. Louis 2--Mark Howe, injured all season and limited to 18 games, scored his first goal at 9:29 of the third period to lead the Red Wings to a victory at St. Louis.

Calgary 5, Edmonton 3--Sheldon Kennedy scored twice and Paul Kruse, Ed Ward and German Titov added goals for the Flames, who won at Calgary.

Vancouver 3, San Jose 3--Tom Pederson’s fifth goal of the season gave the Sharks a tie at San Jose and the seventh-place playoff berth in the Western Conference.
