Los Angeles Kings (12-18-2, eighth in the Pacific Division) vs. Anaheim Ducks (13-14-4, seventh in the Pacific Division) Anaheim, California; Thursday, 10 p.m.

VANCOUVER — John Tavares scored twice but goaltender Frederik Andersen was the difference as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 Tuesday night.

LAS VEGAS — Marc-Andre Fleury has enjoyed many big moments during his decorated NHL career. This one might have been the most emotional.

PITTSBURGH — Tomas Tatar's 10th goal of the season ended Tristan Jarry's franchise-record shutout streak and sparked the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.

DALLAS — Rick Bowness had quite a day. Bowness woke up as an assistant coach for the Dallas Stars and finished Tuesday with his first win as an interim head coach in 15 years, hours after coach Jim Montgomery was fired.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — During an awfully sluggish start by Minnesota, the Anaheim Ducks took full advantage. They capitalized on a finish by the Wild that left plenty to be desired, too.

EDMONTON — It wasn't an ideal way to win, but the Carolina Hurricanes will take it. Sebastian Aho had a pair of goals as the Hurricanes blew past the Edmonton Oilers with a 6-3 victory on Tuesday.

NASHVILLE — Juuse Saros made sure San Jose's losing streak continued. Calle Jarnkrok had a goal and an assist in the third period, Saros made 24 saves and the Nashville Predators defeated the slumping Sharks 3-1 on Tuesday night.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — An early-season coaching change could have derailed Calgary's entire season. Instead, it seems to have revitalized the Flames. Even on the second game of a back-to-back, there's no slowing them down.

WINNIPEG — Laurent Brossoit was glad the Winnipeg Jets didn't ease up against the reeling Detroit Red Wings.
