Monday Night in the NHL | The Stars extend the ordeal of the Flyers by winning 3-1

The Stars beat the Flyers 3-1

Jacob Peterson broke the deadlock late in the game and the Dallas Stars won 3-1 against the Philadelphia Flyers, who lost for the 12^and times in a row.

Peterson got his seventh goal of the season at 16:35 in the third period.

Joe Pavelski completed in an empty net for the Stars, victorious in their last three games.

Positive note for the Flyers, Keith Yandle played a 964^and straight game, tying Doug Jarvis’ NHL record.

Jarvis is now a special adviser to the Canucks. On Monday, he said he would call Yandle to congratulate him.

“It shows his dedication and his love of hockey,” Jarvis said.

Philadelphia also went 12 games without a win in 1998-99, but that was eight losses and four draws.

Robin Lehner shuts out Capitals in 1-0 win

Robin Lehner made 34 saves for his first shutout of the season as the Golden Knights clinched a 1-0 win over the Washington Capitals on Monday night.

Making his sixth consecutive start, Lehner earned his first shutout since April 16, 2021. It was his 17^and career laundering. In the Capitals camp, this is the first time that we have failed to score at least one goal this season, in 43 games.

Lehner had to work hard, especially on a double penalty kill that lasted 1:57 early in the second period. He stopped three Capitals shots during that streak, including a hard shot from Alex Ovechkin, who will have to wait a little longer before celebrating his 30^and goal of the season.

In his first campaign as number one goaltender, the 30-year-old Swede was solid once again past Lars Eller on a two-on-one run late in the second period. He also stood up to Conor Sheary with just five minutes left in the game. Lehner’s brilliance allowed the Golden Knights to be perfect on five penalty kills.

Michael Amadio scored the game’s only goal to give his team a second straight victory after suffering three losses.

Defender Nicolas Hague, who was playing his first game since December 28 after nursing a wrist injury, did the dirty work to create a scoring chance and it was Amadio who finished the job by pushing a return throw to the bottom of the net.

Without key wingers Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty, and pending the arrival of Jack Eichel, the Golden Knights began their perilous journey through the eastern United States on a high note. They will next face the Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Capitals suffered their seventh loss in ten games. Vitek Vanecek allowed one goal on 29 shots.

Adam Fox scores the winning goal in the shootout for Rangers

Adam Fox settled the dispute in the sixth round of the shootout to allow the New York Rangers to defeat the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 on Monday night. This is the ninth win in 12 games for the “blue shirts”.

Chris Kreider became the first player to score 30 goals this season in the National Hockey League. Barclay Goodrow also scored and Artemi Panarin had two assists. Igor Shesterkin blocked 28 shots to earn his 20th win this season.

Blake Lizotte and Alex Iafallo scored both goals for the Kings in the second period. Jonathan Quick was solid in goal with 34 saves, but it wasn’t enough. The Kings suffered their fourth loss in five games.

In the shootout, Anze Kopitar and Panarin scored in the third round. Then, rookie Quinton Byfield and young Alexis Lafrenière scored in turn in the fifth round. Eventually, Shesterkin got ahead of Arthur Kaliyev in the sixth round and Fox ended the game with a superb fake and a perfect backhand shot into the top of the net.

The Rangers had started the overtime on the power play since a penalty to Kempe could not be used before the end of the third period. After he came out of the penalty box after 46 seconds of play, the two teams played all of overtime at 4-on-4, because the referees never whistled during the period. The Rangers managed to take five shots and the Kings replied with two.

Trailing by one goal with 5:45 left in the third, Rangers tied the game at 2-2 when Goodrow deflected a point shot from Panarin.

Tempers flared late in the first period when former Rangers Brendan Lemieux hit Ryan Lindgren from behind. As his teammates all rushed to his defense, Lindgren got up and cross-checked Lemieux, earning him a two-minute penalty. Lemieux received a major penalty for giving tape and was expelled for misconduct.

Kreider’s goal extended his one-goal streak to six. During that streak, he had nine goals and two assists. His teammates Panarin and Fox extended their streak with at least one point to five and six respectively.

Nikita Zadorov, Chris Tanev, Elias Lindholm, Sean Monahan, Blake Coleman and Adam Ruzicka scored the other goals for the Flames (19-12-6), which notched up just their second victory in seven games.

Then Coleman made it 5-1 and two minutes later Ruzicka gave the hosts a five-goal lead. Gaudreau added another layer in the last minute of the period by rushing the Blues defense at the entrance of the zone before beating Binnington with a good shot from the side of the mitt.
