NEW YORK — Rookie goaltender Viktor Fasth lifted Anaheim Ducks to a 3-2 shootout win over the Chicago Blackhawks Tuesday to extend the perfect start to his NHL career. Anaheim trailed 2-1 in the final minutes of regulation when Andrew Cogliano equalized at 17:20 in the third to extend the battle and leave it to Fasth to carry them to victory. The 30-year-old Swedish netminder made three saves during a scoreless overtime, finishing with 28, and denied Chicago's final two shootout attempts to improve to 6-0-0 in his magical first season. Nick Bonino and Corey Perry converted shootout goals for Anaheim (9-2-1) as the Ducks won for the sixth time in seven games and moved two points clear of San Jose for first place in the Pacific Division. Anaheim grabbed a 1-0 edge on Chicago on a Ryan Getzlaf wrist shot early in the second period, but the home Blackhawks quickly seized the lead with goals by Nick Leddy and Brandon Saad. Despite the defeat, Chicago (10-0-3) is still without a loss in regulation and remains on top of the league's standings. Hurricanes 4, Devils 2: Jiri Tlusty scored two goals in the third period and Cam Ward made 26 saves as the Carolina Hurricanes beat New Jersey, snapping the Devils' five-game winning streak. Jussi Jokinen and Patrick Dwyer also scored for Carolina, which went 4-1-1 on its six-game road trip. With Carolina on the power play, Tlusty flipped a shot toward the net that bounced off Devils defenseman Bryce Salvador and over goalie Martin Brodeur at 7:25. Eric Stall earned an assist, extending his point streak to 10 games. Tlusty later added an empty-net goal. Ilya Kovalchuk and Ryan Carter scored for the Eastern Conference-leading Devils, who lost in regulation at home for the first time this season (5-1-1). Predators 1, Sharks 0, OT: Colin Wilson scored at 2:08 of overtime, and Nashville beat San Jose to snap a two-game skid. Pekka Rinne made 25 saves for his second shutout this season in a game in which Nashville set a franchise mark for offensive futility before Wilson scored. The goal ended the drought at just over 176 minutes in a three-game span. San Jose has lost six straight after opening the season with seven consecutive wins, a streak ended in a 2-1 shootout loss to Nashville on Feb. 2. Six of the past eight games between these teams have gone past regulation. Wilson got the win for Nashville when he tipped a shot from defenseman Ryan Ellis past Antti Niemi. The Predators topped the 166:44 scoreless skid, that had been the longest in franchise history, set between Dec. 4-10, 2000. Capitals 6, Panthers 5, OT: Troy Brouwer scored 32 seconds into overtime for Washington, which rallied from a late two-goal deficit and beat Florida. Canadiens 4, Lightning 3, SO: Carey Price stopped all three shots in the shootout, David Desharnais had the lone goal in the tiebreaker, and Montreal rebounded after blowing a three-goal lead to beat Tampa Bay. Senators 2, Sabres 0: Craig Anderson made 42 saves, and Erik Karlsson and Erik Condra scored less than two minutes apart in the second period to lift Ottawa over Buffalo. Ottawa finished 0 for 8 on the power play. Flyers 3, Jets 2: Brayden Schenn, Kimmo Timonen and Tye McGinn scored to lead Philadelphia to a victory against Winnipeg. Stars 4, Oilers 1: Kari Lehtonen made 35 saves, and Dallas extended its winning streak to four with a victory over Edmonton. Canucks 2, Wild 1: Robert Luongo made 25 saves, and Vancouver beat Minnesota for its sixth straight win. — Agencies
