Yzerman’s Two Goals Help Rally Red Wings in 5-5 Tie

Steve Yzerman scored two of Detroit’s three third-period goals and assisted on the other Monday as the Red Wings rallied from a 4-1 deficit for a 5-5 tie with the Chicago Blackhawks at Detroit.

Detroit trailed, 5-3, when Yzerman scored the Red Wings’ third power-play goal of the game with 4:48 remaining.

Yzerman tied it with 51.6 seconds remaining when his shot from just inside the Chicago blue line went through Chris Chelios’ legs and deflected into the net off Chicago goaltender Chris Terreri.

Carolina 5, Florida 3--Keith Primeau scored two goals and assisted on two others as the Hurricanes held off the Panthers at Miami, extending Florida’s losing streak to 13 games.

Carolina, which had lost four of its last five games, moved into a ninth-place tie with the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference. Both teams trail Ottawa by five points in the race for the conference’s final playoff spot.

Notes

Vancouver traded left wing Gino Odjick, its all-time penalty minutes leader, to the New York Islanders for defenseman Jason Strudwick. . . . Dallas, with six players sidelined with injuries, lost another when right wing Todd Harvey underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. He is expected to be out two to three weeks.
