Around the NHL

The Florida Panthers remain undefeated with an NHL-best record of 6-0-3.

Rookie Per Gustafsson continued to shine for Florida with a goal and two assists as the Panthers beat the New York Rangers 6-4 in a wild shootout Friday.

In Friday’s other game, backup goaltenders Jimmy Waite of Chicago, recalled from Indianapolis earlier in the day, and Kevin Hodson of Detroit sparkled in their first starts of the season as the Blackhawks and Red Wings skated to a 2-2 tie.

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jocelyn Thibault fractured the end of the ring finger on his left hand during practice and will miss two or three weeks… . The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired winger Petr Klima from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a draft pick to be determined later.
