Red Wings Enjoy Rout of Oilers

Edmonton Coach Craig MacTavish knew it was going to be a rough night.

Kris Draper scored twice, including one of Detroit’s four power-play goals, and the Red Wings easily beat the Oilers, 7-1, Wednesday night at Detroit.

Steve Yzerman and Brendan Shanahan each had a goal and an assist, and Darryl Bootland, Brett Hull and Steve Thomas also scored and Mathieu Schneider added three assists for Detroit, which outshot Edmonton, 43-16.

“Where to start? Let’s start from the first shift,” MacTavish said. “I realized it was going to be a long night in the middle of the second shift.”

It was Hull’s 726th career goal, moving him within five of Marcel Dionne for third place on the NHL list. Wayne Gretzky (894) is first and Gordie Howe (801) is second.

Radek Dvorak scored for Edmonton.

Philadelphia 1, Pittsburgh 1 -- Eric Chouinard scored off Penguin goalie Sebastien Caron’s misplay in the second period, and the visiting Flyers ran their unbeaten streak to 10 games with the tie.

Philadelphia is 8-0-2 during its streak.

Dallas 3, Minnesota 1 -- Bill Guerin scored two goals and the Stars ended a road losing streak at five games with a victory over the Wild.

Buffalo 5, Washington 2 -- Miroslav Satan scored two goals and Mika Noronen made 18 saves to lead the host Sabres past the Capitals. Washington played most of the game without Jaromir Jagr, who injured his groin in the first period.

N.Y. Rangers 3, Florida 3 -- Mike Dunham of the Rangers made 28 saves in his return from injury but allowed two goals to the Panthers’ Olli Jokinen in a tie at Sunrise, Fla. Dunham sat out the previous four games because of a groin injury.
