NHL-Highlights of Friday's NHL games

(Adds later games) Oct 30 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Friday's National Hockey League games. - - - Rangers 3, Maple Leafs 1 Mats Zuccarello had a hat-trick and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist made 23 saves as the New York Rangers took care of the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 at Madison Square Garden. Derick Brassard and Rick Nash had three assists for the Rangers while Joffrey Lupul scored for the Maple Leafs. - - - Capitals 2, Blue Jackets 1 Washington newcomers Justin Williams and T.J. Oshie each scored a goal, Braden Holtby stopped 29 shots and the Capitals defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1. Oshie, acquired in an offseason trade with St. Louis, made it 2-0 with just over eight minutes left in the game when he completed a pretty passing sequence by firing past goalie Sergei Bobrovsky from the slot. - - - Sabres 3, Flyers 1 Ryan O'Reilly had a goal and two assists to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Jack Eichel, Buffalo's 18-year-old center, scored his fourth goal of the season, matching O'Reilly for the team lead. Nicolas Deslauriers also scored for the Sabres (4-7) and goaltender Linus Ullmark made 26 saves in his second career start. At 22, Ullmark is the youngest goalie to earn a win for the Sabres since 21-year-old Mika Noronen in 2000. - - - Bruins 3, Panthers 1 Brad Marchand scored two goals to lead the Boston Bruins to a 3-1 win over Atlantic Division rivals Florida at the BB&T Center. Boston improved to 4-0-0 on the road this season. - - - Senators 3, Red Wings 1 Ottawa goaltender Andrew Hammond made 29 saves to backstop the Senators to a 3-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. Kyle Turris, Matt Puempel and Bobby Ryan scored goals for Ottawa. Henrik Zetterberg scored for Detroit (1-5-1), who lost their sixth in seven. Goalie Jimmy Howard stopped 32 shots. - - - Hurricanes 3, Avalanche 2 The Carolina Hurricanes produced all their offense after the midway mark of the game, posting a 3-2 victory against the Colorado Avalanche at PNC Arena to run their winning streak to three games. Potentially road weary after seven consecutive games on the road, the Hurricanes picked up the pace and received goals from Victor Rask, Justin Faulk and Jeff Skinner. - - - Wild 5, Blackhawks 4 Minnesota winger Nino Niederreiter's goal early in the third period was the difference in the Wild's 5-4 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Wild (7-2-1) also got goals from Jason Zucker, Ryan Carter, Charlie Coyle and Jared Spurgeon, improving to 5-0-0 at home. Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk had 26 saves in the win. - - - Canadiens 6, Flames 2 Dale Weise scored three goals and the Montreal Canadiens snapped a two-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the struggling Calgary Flames. The Canadiens (10-2-0) had won nine straight to start the season before dropping back-to-back games in Vancouver and Edmonton this week prior to coming to Calgary. - - - Canucks 4, Coyotes 3 Vancouver goaltender Richard Bachman stopped 29 shots and the Canucks got goals from four different players to post a 4-3 win over the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena. In four of the Canucks' six losses this season, they had blown a third-period lead, but Vancouver held off an Arizona push in the final frame to post their fourth road win in five games.
