In a season highlighted by the emergence of some youngsters, Arizona's veterans helped snap a 10-game road winless streak Friday night. Brad Richardson scored twice after Antoine Vermette put Arizona ahead early in the third period and the Coyotes beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 to end the skid streak. The 33-year-old Vermette put Arizona ahead 2-1 early in the third period, and then Richardson scored his two goals to clinch it. "We know the situation we're in, but we're trying to push, trying to become a better team. There's a lot of young guys here that are kind of learning their way. These are big games for all of us," Richardson said. Boyd Gordon also scored for Arizona, and Louis Domingue made 24 saves. Shane Doan had two assists and has 41 points this season, giving him his 14th season with at least 40. The Coyotes are 2-8-1 in their last 11 games. Calgary got back defenseman Dennis Wideman after an arbitrator reduced his 20-game suspension for physically abusing an official down to 10 games earlier in the day. Stars 5, Blackhawks 2: Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and Jason Spezza had a goal and an assist each and goaltender Kari Lehtonen stopped 21 of 23 shots for the Dallas Stars in a 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks at American Airlines Center. Antoine Roussel and Ales Hemsky also scored for Dallas (41-20-8) with Seguin scoring the game-winner in the second period. Teuvo Taravainen and Tomas Fleischmann scored for Chicago (41-22-8). Penguins 3, Blue Jackets 2: Carl Hagelin's second-period goal, his fourth since joining Pittsburgh earlier in the season, led the Penguins to a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets in Nationwide Arena. Chris Kunitz and Kris Letang also scored for the Penguins, while goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury had 25 saves. The Penguins (35-24-8) are trying to hold off rival Philadelphia for the second and final wild-card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The win preserved their three-point cushion. Flyers 3, Lightning 1: Sam Gagner scored a power-play goal and Steve Mason had 18 saves as the Philadelphia Flyers posted a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night at Amalie Arena. Philadelphia (32-23-11) has won six of its past seven games and remains in contention for a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Blues 5, Ducks 2: The St. Louis Blues got their offense going as they moved closer to the top spot in the Central Division. Vladimir Tarasenko scored twice late and Paul Stastny, Jori Lehtera and Patrik Berglund added goals to lead the Blues to a 5-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night at Scottrade Center.
