Here are the details regarding Tuesday’s other nine game.

Phoenix 4, Columbus 3

The Blue Jackets once held a 3-1 lead over the Coyotes, but they couldn’t close Phoenix out. In fact, Columbus didn’t even leave the game with a single point, as Derek Morris scored the game winner in the third period.

Boston 6, Ottawa 0

The Bruins poured a little salt in the Senators’ wounds tonight, as Patrice Bergeron scored a hat trick (including the game winner) and Tim Thomas earned a 31-save shutout to beat Ottawa handily. This gives Boston a two point lead over Montreal in the Northeast Division.

Montreal 2, NY Rangers 1

Henrik Lundqvist made 36 saves and even earned an assist, but his efforts weren’t strong enough to push the Rangers past the Canadiens. Brandon Dubinsky scored the first goal, then Jaroslav Spacek and Benoit Pouliot scored for Montreal. Alex Auld made 25 saves to keep the Habs close to the Bruins for the top spot in the Northeast.

Carolina 6, Calgary 5 (SO)

The Hurricanes took a 5-2 lead but the Flames stormed back to send this to overtime and beyond, but Carolina as Jeff Skinner scored the only shootout goal. Jussi Jokinen scored two goals and one assist while Jarome Iginla scored one goal and provided the 500th assist of his career in this game.

Miikka Kiprusoff was pulled after allowing four goals on eight shots before giving way to Henrik Karlsson, who stopped 21 out of 22 shots. Cam Ward earned the win by making 27 out of 25 saves.

Florida 4, Washington 3 (OT)

Much like the Hurricanes, the Panthers coughed up a three-goal lead but ended up winning after allowing their opponents to earn a charity point. Dennis Wideman scored the overtime game-winner on the power play to win for Florida.

Philadelphia 5, Buffalo 2

What’s the best way to react to an All-Star snub? By playing great hockey, which Daniel Briere did tonight by scoring one goal and three assists to help the Flyers overcome a 2-0 deficit against the Sabres. (Surely the added carrot of playing against his old team didn’t hurt, either.) Scott Hartnell might not have been All-Star material this season, but his two goals, one assist and one fight earned him a Gordie Howe hat trick.

Nashville 5, Minnesota 1

All of a sudden, the Predators are in fourth place in the Western Conference. They are now on a six-game winning streak after dominating the Wild.

Dallas 3, Edmonton 2

It’s been a good week for Jamie Benn, as he earned the January 3-9th goal of the week award and also managed to score in tonight’s game against the Oilers. The Stars didn’t earn many style points while beating Edmonton, but a win’s a win and their place atop the Pacific Division is secure.

Toronto 4, San Jose 2

Ron Wilson earned the 600th win of his coaching career against his former team, which must have made the milestone that much sweeter. The Maple Leafs knocked Logan Couture out of the game and then earned the win, their fourth straight victory which also ranks as the Sharks’ fifth loss in a row.
