Tie Puts Detroit in a Daze

After falling behind by three goals in the first period, the Chicago Blackhawks didn’t panic.

“I took a time out and told the guys to stay with it,” Chicago Coach Brian Sutter said.

Eric Daze scored two third-period goals and the Blackhawks recovered from a three-goal deficit to tie the Red Wings, 4-4, Sunday night at Detroit.

Alex Zhamnov and Kyle Calder scored for Chicago, tied with Dallas for the most ties in the league with six.

“It was good to see when it’s 3-0, we didn’t quit,” Zhamnov said. “I think we deserve the point.”

Darren McCarty, Sergei Fedorov, Brendan Shanahan and Kris Draper each scored for Detroit, which has its best record after 25 games at 20-3-1-1.

After a scoreless first period, the Red Wings scored three goals in a span of 5 minutes 13 seconds in the second period.

The Blackhawk rally began early in the third period.

Zhamnov scored on a nice individual effort on the power play at 5:37, cutting the deficit to 3-2.

Daze scored his first goal at 6:55, beating Detroit goaltender Dominik Hasek and tying the score, 3-3.

With 9:32 to play, Daze stole the puck from Mathieu Dandenault and lifted it over Hasek to give Chicago a 4-3 lead.

“I just wanted to get the puck upstairs and that’s what I did,” Daze said. “I knew he was ready for the five-hole.”

McCarty tied the score with 6:40 left on a pass from Luc Robitaille.

Tampa Bay 4, Carolina 0--Pavel Kubina and Tim Taylor scored short-handed goals 57 seconds apart at Raleigh, N.C.

The Lightning and Nikolai Khabibulin shut out the Southeast Division-leading Hurricanes for the second time in eight days to end a seven-game road losing streak.

It was the 25th shutout of Khabibulin’s career.

Fredrik Modin scored on a backhander 1:57 into the third period.

Khabibulin stopped 41 shots for his fourth shutout this season.

Khabibulin, on the 2002 Russian Olympic team, was coming off a shutout of New Jersey on Friday.

Dallas 4, Minnesota 3--Sergei Zubov scored two goals in less than a minute and teammate Joe Nieuwendyk also scored twice at St. Paul, Minn.

It was the Stars’ second victory in Minnesota, their former home, since moving to Dallas after the 1992-93 season.

The crowd of 19,042 was the largest in Minnesota and marked the 55th consecutive sellout for the Wild.

Columbus 4, Calgary 3--Robert Kron had a goal and an assist for the Blue Jackets at Columbus, Ohio.

Kron’s second goal of the season gave Columbus a 3-1 lead in the second period.

Ron Tugnutt made it stand up, stopping 29 shots for his first victory in nine starts (0-7-0-1) since Oct. 19.

Calgary sat goalie Roman Turek (13-2-4) for a second consecutive game.

Mike Vernon, who made 12 saves, has played in Calgary’s four regulation losses.

Vancouver 4, Philadelphia 1--Markus Naslund scored two goals at Philadelphia and Dan Cloutier made 23 saves for his first victory over the Flyers in five starts.

Matt Cooke and Henrik Sedin scored for the Canucks.

Simon Gagne scored for the Flyers, whose four-game unbeaten streak ended.

Vancouver took advantage of two defensive lapses to take a 2-0 lead in the first period.

One came when Cooke, left unattended in front of the crease, fired a one-timer into the goal at 9:15.
