Jonathan Quick made 21 saves in a standout performance for the Kings, who ended the Penguins' season-opening, seven-game road winning streak.

NHL scoring leader Anze Kopitar's second goal tied it early in the third for Los Angeles, which improved to 6-0-2 in its last eight games for the club's longest points streak since November 2000.

In Boston, Patrice Bergeron's goal with 52 seconds left in regulation helped the Bruins avoid a historic third straight shutout, but Michael Cammalleri scored in the shootout to give Montreal a victory over Boston.

Boston had not scored in 192 minutes, 6 seconds, dating to Vladimir Sobotka's goal at 7:02 of the third period against Edmonton on Saturday. The Bruins had not been shut out in three straight games since they scored just once over five games from Feb. 2-14, 1929.

In the 700th game between the archrivals, Carey Price stopped 42 Boston shots for his first win in more than a month.

In Detroit, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg scored in the shootout as the hosts snapped San Jose's six-game winning streak.

Canucks 5, Wild 2

Senators 3, Lightning 2 (OT)

In Ottawa, Jason Spezza scored a power-play goal 4:17 into overtime and had two assists to lift the Sens over Tampa Bay.

Coyotes 3, Blackhawks 1

Flames 2, Blues 1 (OT)

In St. Louis, Dion Phaneuf's goal 2:50 into OT gave Calgary a victory against the Blues.

In Anaheim, Jonas Hiller made 40 saves to earn his fifth NHL shutout, Teemu Selanne scored two goals to overtake Hall of Famer Jean Beliveau on the career points list, and the Ducks beat short-handed Nashville.
