NHL : Red Wings come from behind to beat Kings

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

Mikael Samuelsson’s goal 3:26 into overtime completed a comeback and gave the Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night in Detroit.

It was Samuelsson’s first game back after being out since late January with a broken bone in his foot.

Pavel Datsyuk had a goal and an assist, and Brett Lebda also scored for Detroit. Dominik Hasek, who returned after missing three games with tightness in his thigh, made 24 saves.

Canucks 2, Sharks 1 (OT): At San Jose, Calif., Henrik Sedin scored a breakaway goal with 1:30 left in overtime, and Roberto Luongo became Vancouver’s single-season wins leader, making 25 saves in his 39th win.

Taylor Pyatt’s goal early in the third period ended more than eight periods of scoreless hockey by Sharks goalie Evgeni Nabokov, but captain Patrick Marleau tied it with a snappy power-play goal with 6:58 left.

Wild 5, Sabres 1: At Buffalo, N.Y., third-string rookie goalie Josh Harding made 35 saves, and Dominic Moore scored twice to lift Minnesota to a win over Buffalo.

Pavol Demitra, Keith Carney and Todd White also scored for the Wild, who have gone 12-3-2 in their past 17 road games.

Stars 3, Blue Jackets 0: At Columbus, Ohio, Sergei Zubov, Niklas Hagman and Mike Ribeiro scored goals and Marty Turco posted his 29th career shutout to lead Dallas past Columbus.

It was the 14th time Columbus has been shut out this season, extending a club record.

Hurricanes 3, Capitals 0: At Washington, Cam Ward recorded his second career regular-season shutout – both against Washington – and Justin Williams, Niclas Wallin and Andrew Ladd scored leading Carolina to the win.

Ducks 5, Oilers 1: At Anaheim, Calif., Ryan Getzlaf had two goals and an assist, Corey Perry and Dustin Penner each had a goal and an assist, and Anaheim beat Edmonton for its fourth straight victory.
