Guerin Finally Scores Again for Stars in Win

Bill Guerin scored his first goal in 19 games with less than a second left in the second period, finally converting a power-play chance for the Dallas Stars in a 4-2 victory over the Nashville Predators Monday in their last home game until March.

The Stars were on their 10th power play, and scrambling to get a shot off when Janne Niinimaa got the puck at the point and sent it toward the front of the net. Guerin gathered the pass and knocked it in when the horn sounded and the clock showed 0.00. The tiebreaking goal was awarded and the clock reset to 0.9 seconds after a review.

Niinimaa, who sat out the previous seven games because of an ankle injury, had an unassisted short-handed goal 3:25 into the third period to make it 3-1. Mike Modano scored his 18th three minutes later.

The Stars play their next three games before the Olympic break on the road, and won’t be back home until March 4 against Colorado.

Tampa Bay 3, New York Islanders 2 -- Martin St. Louis scored the tying goal with 1:12 left in regulation and set up Vincent Lecavalier’s breakaway winner in overtime that gave the Lightning the victory at Uniondale, N.Y.

Tampa Bay improved to 8-1-1 in its last 10 games and beat New York by one goal for the third time this season.

Ottawa 5, Pittsburgh 2 -- Peter Schaefer had two goals and an assist, backup goalie Ray Emery got his first win in more than a month and the Senators extended the Penguins’ losing streak to six gamess with a victory at Ottawa.

Christoph Schubert, Zdeno Chara and Bryan Smolinski also scored for Ottawa, which had lost three of four, including a 2-1 shootout loss Saturday in Buffalo.

Vancouver 7, Columbus 4 -- Daniel Sedin and Markus Naslund scored power-play goals three minutes apart in the third period to end a late Blue Jacket rally and give the Canucks a win at Vancouver, Canada.

Anson Carter and Josh Green scored in the first 3:42 and Todd Bertuzzi and Mattias Ohlund had power-play goals to give Vancouver a 4-0 cushion after the first period.

Calgary 4, San Jose 3 -- Miikka Kiprusoff made 28 saves against his former team, Robyn Regehr had a career-best three assists and the Flames ended a three-game losing streak by beating the Sharks at San Jose.
