NEW YORK — Chris Campoli broke up a scoreless game with 1:14 remaining, and the Ottawa Senators snapped a five-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the punchless New York Rangers on Thursday night.

Mike Brodeur, a distant relative of New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur, made 32 saves in his second NHL appearance to earn his second career victory. The shutout came two days after Martin Brodeur beat the Rangers 1-0 in a shootout at Madison Square Garden.

Henrik Lundqvist also stopped 32 shots but was the hard-luck loser for the second straight game. He made 45 saves against the Devils on Tuesday and then but came out on the short end after New Jersey's Patrik Elias scored the only goal in the shootout. Lundqvist hadn't allowed a goal in a career-best 127 minutes, 30 seconds — dating to the Rangers' 3-1 win at Boston on Saturday.

Chris Kelly added an empty-net goal for Ottawa.

MAPLE LEAFS 4, FLYERS 0: At Toronto, Vesa Toskala made 38 saves for his first shutout since October 2008, and Tyler Bozak scored his first NHL goal to help Toronto snap a four-game losing streak.

Nikolai Kulemin, Luke Schenn and Lee Stempniak also scored for the Maple Leafs. The Flyers lost for just the third time in 11 games.

CANADIENS 5, STARS 3: At Montreal, Brian Gionta scored twice for Montreal in his 500th career game, and Georges Laraque got his first goal in more than 21 months.

Carey Price stopped 33 shots, and Benoit Pouliot and Mike Cammalleri also scored for the Canadiens, who dealt Dallas its ninth straight road loss. Mike Modano scored his 550th goal, and Toby Petersen and Steve Ott also scored for Dallas.

SABRES 2, THRASHERS 1 (OT): At Atlanta, Derek Roy scored a power-play goal in overtime to give Buffalo its seventh victory in eight games.

Ryan Miller made 32 saves, and Patrick Kaleta added a goal for the Sabres. Ilya Kovalchuk scored his 27th goal for Atlanta.

RED WINGS 3, HURRICANES 1: At Detroit, Drew Miller had a goal and an assist, and Jimmy Howard made 37 saves to help Detroit beat Carolina.

Nicklas Lidstrom and Henrik Zetterberg also scored, and Valtteri Filppula had two assists for the Red Wings. Tom Kostopoulos scored for Carolina.

BLUES 1, WILD 0: At St. Louis, Chris Mason stopped 19 shots for his 19th career shutout, and T.J Oshie scored 26 seconds into the third period for St. Louis.
