CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks extended their record for the best start in league history, shutting out the Columbus Blue Jackets 1-0 Sunday behind a 28-save performance by goaltender Corey Crawford. Chicago has now recorded at least one point in 18 consecutive games to begin the National Hockey League regular season. Crawford posted his second shutout of the season as he made his first start since Feb. 12. Andrew Shaw scored the only goal for Chicago who improved to 5-0-1 in their seven-game home stand which continues against the Edmonton Oilers Monday. Steve Mason stopped 26-of-27 shots for Columbus, who have lost nine consecutive games to Chicago. Columbus dropped to 2-8-0 as the road team this season. Bryan Bickell set up Shaw from behind the net with 1:27 remaining in the second period for the Blackhawks' only goal on the game. Crawford made 13 saves in the second period for Chicago, who are 7-0-1 at the United Center arena this season. The Blue Jackets had chances to tie the game but went zero-for-three on the power play in the third period. Columbus finished zero-for-five with the man advantage. Anaheim 4, Colorado 3 (OT): Ryan Getzlaf scored the tying goal in the third period and set up Corey Perry's second of the game at 4:14 of overtime as the host Ducks won their sixth straight game. Boston 4, Florida 1: Zdeno Chara and Milan Lucic scored first-period goals for the visiting Bruins. Chris Kelly had a power-play goal in the second, and Daniel Paille added an empty-net goal in the third. Tuukka Rask stopped 34 shots for the Bruins, who won their third straight game. Calgary 5, Phoenix 4: Curtis Glencross scored with 1 minute left in the third period to lift the host Flames. Jarome Iginla had two goals for Calgary. Carolina 4, NY Islanders 2: Defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti's first NHL goal snapped a tie midway through the third period, and the visiting Hurricanes snapped a three-game losing streak. Pittsburgh 5, Tampa Bay 3: Sidney Crosby had two goals and an assist to lead the host Penguins. It was Pittsburgh's first game since MVP Evgeni Malkin was injured. Malkin is out indefinitely after slamming back-first into the end boards Friday night. Winnipeg 4, New Jersey 2: Evander Kane scored a breakaway goal in the second period, and Andrew Ladd added some insurance in the third to lift the visiting Jets. Johan Hedberg, a late replacement for Martin Brodeur, stopped 23 shots for New Jersey. Brodeur left the ice in pregame warm-ups because of “a little soreness,” the Devils said. Detroit 8, Vancouver 3: Damien Brunner had two goals and two assists, and Joakim Andersson scored twice as Detroit walloped Vancouver at home. — Agencies
