NHL roundup: Columbus finally discovers a victory, ends skid

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Fredrik Modin backhanded in a rebound of his own shot 3:12 into overtime to give Columbus a 1-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night, ending the Blue Jackets' franchise-tying nine-game losing skid.

Steve Mason had 34 saves for his second shutout of the year.

Modin carried the puck into the offensive zone and past defenseman Brett Lebda to flick a shot at Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard. He stopped the shot but Modin continued to skate and was able to backhand a shot past a diving Lebda that went behind Howard.

The Blue Jackets climbed off the bench to celebrate in the corner, mobbing Modin while a sellout crowd of 18,421 roared.

Howard stopped 39 shots.

HURRICANES 6, CAPITALS 3: At Washington, Eric Staal had two goals and three assists to help Carolina end a three-game losing streak. Jussi Jokinen added a goal and two assists. Tuomo Ruutu also had a goal and an assist while Matt Cullen added two assists as Carolina stopped Washington's three-game winning streak and got just its second road victory this season.

WILD 4, KINGS 3: At Los Angeles, Eric Belanger had two goals and an assist, including the go-ahead score with 2:25 left in the third period, and Minnesota won its third straight. Defenseman Kim Johnsson scored during a power play, Martin Havlat also had a goal and Niklas Backstrom made 29 saves to help end Minnesota's five-game losing streak against the Kings.

DEVILS 3, THRASHERS 2: At Newark, N.J., New Jersey's Zach Parise ended a goal-scoring slump with a pair. Parise, who led the Devils with a career-high 45 goals last season, had gone 12 games without scoring. He snapped the slump to help New Jersey win for the 10th time in the last 12 games.

SENATORS 4, CANADIENS 2: At Ottawa, Pascal Leclaire made 29 saves and Chris Neil scored Ottawa's third straight goal 6:15 into the third period to help the Senators end Montreal's four-game winning streak. Neil tipped a floating rebound of Mike Fisher's shot into the net behind Montreal goalie Jaroslav Halak. A lengthy video review supported referee Bill McCreary's ruling that the Senators forward had not made contact with the puck above the level of the crossbar.
