James Reimer made 31 saves in his first shutout of the season, Logan Couture scored twice and the San Jose Sharks beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 Tuesday night. Joe Pavelski also scored for the Sharks, who won their second in a row. They've now won five of their last six and have gone 19-5-4 since Jan. 9. Cam Talbot stopped 19 shots for Edmonton, which had won four of its previous five games. The Sharks started the scoring just 1:33 into the game when a puck bounced around before landing between the legs of Talbot, who spun around in vain trying to find it before Couture swatted it into the net. San Jose went up 2-0 with a power-play goal at 15:50 of the first when Couture picked the top corner with a wrist shot from the faceoff dot for his 10th of the season. Pavelski, the Sharks captain, gave his team a three-goal lead with 6 minutes left in the second period, tipping his 31st of the season past Talbot on Paul Martin's shot. Edmonton had some chances in the final period but couldn't get a puck past Reimer. Canadiens 4, Stars 3 (OT): Alex Galchenyuk scored his second goal of the game 1:59 into overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 win over the Dallas Stars. Max Pacioretty, Alex Galchenyuk and Philip Danault scored in regulation for Montreal (31-30-6). Cody Eakin, Jason Spezza and Ales Hemsky replied for the Stars (40-20-8). Rangers 4, Sabres 2: Mats Zuccarello had a goal and two assists to lead the New York Rangers to a 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres. Derick Brassard, Jesper Fest and J.T. Miller also scored for the Rangers (39-22-6) and Antti Raanta made 34 saves. Blue Jackets 5, Red Wings 3: The Columbus Blue Jackets' season has been reduced to playing out the string with no chance of reaching the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But if the Blue Jackets can make life difficult for one of their former Central Division rivals, that might make it easier. The Blue Jackets scored two 5-on-3 goals and had four different scorers in a 5-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday at Nationwide Arena. Hurricanes 4, Senators 3 (SO): Defenseman Jaccob Slavin scored in the fourth round of a shootout to give the Carolina Hurricanes an unlikely 4-3 victory against the Ottawa Senators. Carolina left winger Jeff Skinner's goal with less than one second remaining in regulation tied the score at 3-3. It came after the Hurricanes skated with an empty net for nearly two minutes to end the third period. Islanders 2, Penguins 1: Anders Lee was credited with the game-winning goal with 11:05 remaining in the third period Tuesday night as the surging New York Islanders edged the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1. The Islanders, fresh off the most successful seven-game road trip in franchise history (6-1-0), won four straight and 11 of 14 overall to improve to 37-20-7. With Tuesday's victory, they remained three points behind the second-place New York Rangers in the Metropolitan Division and moved five points ahead of the fourth-place Penguins. Bruins 1, Lightning 0 (OT): Brad Marchand scored his 34th goal of the season nine seconds into the overtime period to give the Boston Bruins a 1-0 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Boston (38-23-7) moved into a tie with the Lightning for first place in the Atlantic Division. Bruins netminder Jonas Gustavsson had 42 saves in the win. Predators 4, Jets 2: The Nashville Predators lived up to their nickname in Winnipeg, breaking the backs of the Jets in just 11 seconds. Trailing 1-0 as the first period was winding down, Viktor Arvidsson found Craig Smith for a goal-mouth tap-in with just 40 seconds left. Before the PA announcer had time to announce the goal, however, Colton Sissons gave the Predators a lead they wouldn't relinquish off the ensuing face-off when he banked a shot off Ben Chiarot's skate behind Ondrej Pavelec, paving the way for Nashville's 4-2 victory.
