Elsewhere in the NHL on Monday:<\/p>\n

KINGS 4 MAMMOTH 2<\/p>\n

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) \u2014 Joel Armia scored twice, Adrian Kempe had a goal and assist, and Los Angeles beat Utah.<\/p>\n

Anze Kopitar also scored and Kevin Fiala had two assists to help the Kings get their third win in five games. Darcy Kuemper stopped 19 shots.<\/p>\n

Clayton Keller had a goal and an assist, and Dylan Guenther also scored for the Mammoth in their sixth loss in eight games. Karel Vejmelka finished with 23 saves.<\/p>\n

Kempe got the Kings on the scoreboard 7:50 into game as he got a pass from Fiala skated in on Vejmelka and put a backhander past the goalie<\/a> for his 10th goal of the season.<\/p>\n

FLAMES 7 SABRES 4<\/p>\n

CALGARY, Alta. (AP) \u2014 Yegor Sharangovich had two goals and an assist, and linemate Nazem Kadri added a goal and two assists to lead the surging Calgary Flames over the Buffalo Sabres.<\/p>\n

Rasmus Andersson, Jonathan Huberdeau, Yan Kuznetsov and Mikael Backlund, into an empty net, also scored for Calgary (12-15-4). The Flames improved to 7-2-1 in their last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Tage Thompson, Owen Power, Rasmus Dahlin and Alex Tuch scored for the Sabres (11-14-4). Buffalo has been outscored 16-7 while going 0-3 to begin a six-game trip.<\/p>\n

Dustin Wolf made 25 saves to win his third straight start after watching backup Devin Cooley start three consecutive games. Wolf improved to 9-12-2.<\/p>\n

Sabres starter Ukka-Pekka Luukkonen, pulled by coach Lindy Ruff after giving up five goals on 22 shots through two periods, took the loss to fall to 4-5-1. Alex Lyon made four stops in relief.<\/p>\n

Twice in a furious final seven minutes of the second period, the Sabres pulled within one only for the Flames to answer less than a minute later. Power\u2019s goal at 13:43 made it 3-2, but Kadri scored 31 seconds later. Dahlin\u2019s goal made it 4-3 at 16:32, then Kuznetsov scored 55 seconds later.<\/p>\n

Thompson trimmed Buffalo\u2019s deficit to 2-1 at 4:24 of the second. But that momentum was short-lived as consecutive penalties to Beck Malenstyn and Jordan Greenway resulted in a brief two-man advantage, leading to Huberdeau\u2019s power-play goal at 7:05 that restored Calgary\u2019s two-goal cushion.<\/p>\n

RED WINGS 4 CANUCKS 0<\/p>\n

VANCOUVER, B.C. (AP) \u2014 John Gibson made 39 saves for his first NHL shutout in nearly three years, and Detroit beat Vancouver.<\/p>\n

James van Riemsdyk, Andrew Copp, Nate Danielson and Dylan Larkin scored for the Red Wings (16-11-3), who moved from just outside the crowded Eastern Conference playoff picture into first place in the Atlantic Division.<\/p>\n

Detroit is 3-0-1 since an 0-3-1 slide.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Gibson improved to 7-7-1 this season with his 25th career shutout and first since a 2-0 win for Anaheim over Dallas on Jan. 4, 2023. Four of his shutouts have come against Vancouver.<\/p>\n

WILD 4 KRAKEN 1<\/p>\n

SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Joel Eriksson Ek had a goal and two assists, and Minnesota scored three times in the third period to beat Seattle.<\/p>\n

Marcus Johansson, Kirill Kaprizov and Vladimir Tarasenko also scored to help the Wild snap a two-game skid that followed a 12-game point streak (10-0-2). Filip Gustavsson stopped 23 shots to help the Wild snap a two-game skid.<\/p>\n

Jordan Eberle scored and Philipp Grubauer finished with 25 saves as the Kraken lost their sixth straight \u2014 fifth straight in regulation.<\/p>\n

Johansson gave the Wild a 2-1 lead at 8:12 of the third period, deflecting Eriksson Ek\u2019s <\/a>centring pass<\/a> past Grubauer.<\/p>\n

Tye Kartye appeared to get the tying goal minutes shortly after, but it was overturned on review for high-sticking on the play.<\/p>\n

Kaprizov had an empty-netter for his 18th goal of the season with 1:15 remaining, and Tarasenko added another 24 seconds later to seal the Wild\u2019s win.<\/p>\n
