Senators extend the misery for Penguins

OTTAWA — Peter Schaefer had two goals and an assist, backup goalie Ray Emery got his first win in more than a month and the Ottawa Senators extended Pittsburgh's losing streak to six games with a 5-2 win over the plummeting Penguins on Monday night.

Christoph Schubert, Zdeno Chara and Bryan Smolinski also scored for Ottawa, which had lost three of four, including a 2-1 shootout loss Saturday in Buffalo.

Ryan Malone and Eric Boguniecki scored for Pittsburgh, which lost 7-2 to Ottawa at home Wednesday. The Penguins have dropped 16 of 17.

LIGHTNING 3, ISLANDERS 2 (OT): At Uniondale, N.Y., Martin St. Louis scored the tying goal with 1:12 left in regulation and then set up Vincent Lecavalier's breakaway winner in overtime that gave Tampa Bay a victory over New York.

Lecavalier deked goalie Rick DiPietro onto his back and beat him with 54.5 seconds showing on the clock.

Tampa Bay improved to 8-1-1 in its last 10 games and beat New York by one goal for the third time this season. The Lightning have won six straight against the Islanders, dating to a first-round playoff victory in 2004 during the Lightning's Stanley Cup run.

Fredrik Modin put the Lightning in front just 1:22 in and Sean Burke finished with 28 saves.

STARS 4, PREDATORS 2: At Dallas, Bill Guerin scored his first goal in 19 games with less than a second remaining in the second period, finally converting a power-play chance for Dallas as the Stars beat Nashville in their last home game until March.

The Stars were on their 10th power play when Guerin scored the tiebreaking goal with 0.9 seconds to go in the second. Janne Niinimaa, who missed the previous seven games with an ankle injury, Mike Modano and Stu Barnes also scored for Dallas, which matched Detroit at the top of the Western Conference with 77 points.

OILERS 6, MIGHTY DUCKS 5 (SO): At Edmonton, Fernando Pisani scored the shootout winner and had a goal and an assist in regulation to lead the Oilers past the Mighty Ducks.

CANUCKS 7, BLUE JACKETS 4: At Vancouver, Daniel Sedin and Markus Naslund scored power-play goals three minutes apart in the third period to end a late Columbus rally and give Vancouver a win over the Blue Jackets.

FLAMES 4, SHARKS 3: At San Jose, Miikka Kiprusoff made 28 saves against his former teammates, Robyn Regehr had a career-best three assists and Calgary snapped a three-game losing streak by beating slumping San Jose.
