Sami Salo scored his second goal of the game with 7:48 left to help Vancouver hand Anaheim its record-tying eighth straight loss with a 3-2 win in Anaheim, Calif.

Salo blasted a 50-foot slap shot from the point that deflected past goalie Ilja Bryzgalov, and the Canucks held on to finish a three-game trip with a 2-1 record.

Rob Niedermayer’s power-play goal 47 seconds into the third period tied the game for Anaheim, which also lost eight games in a row in October 1996.

Coyotes 5, Blue Jackets 1: Ladislav Nagy had a goal and two assists, and David LeNeveu made 23 saves as Phoenix beat visiting Columbus 5-1, extending the Blue Jackets’ losing streak to five.

Rangers 3, Bruins 2: Jaromir Jagr snapped a third-period tie with his 19th goal, and the New York Rangers beat visiting Boston, sending the Bruins to their sixth straight loss.

Lightning 5, Hurricanes 2: Fredrik Modin had a goal and two assists to lead Tampa Bay to a victory over host Carolina. Vincent Lecavalier and Brad Richards each added a goal and an assist for the Lightning, who have won three of their past four games.
