Dustin Penner and Fernando Pisani posted a goal and assist each for the Oilers, who have won two in a row after losing five straight but still hold the league's lowest point total with 53.

Ryane Clowe provided the only offense for the Sharks, who dropped their sixth consecutive game, including the first five on their current six-game road trip that concludes at Minnesota on Tuesday.

Selanne attained the milestone 34 seconds into the second period, taking a feed from defenseman Scott Niedermayer and scoring into a open net during a power play with Avalanche goaltender Craig Anderson out of position following a scramble in front of the crease. The tally gave Anaheim a 3-0 lead and turned out to be game-winner.

He became just the 18th player and the third European in NHL history to score 600 goals, joining fellow Finn Jari Kurri (601) and Czech Jaromir Jagr (646).

Ron Hainsey posted a goal and two assists for the Thrashers, who have won four straight games -- including a 5-2 decision over Philly on Saturday -- and moved within a point of Boston for the eighth and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.

Todd White and Rich Peverley also tallied for Atlanta, which recorded its first-ever season series sweep over Philadelphia in 11 NHL campaigns.

After Radim Vrbata beat Dallas goaltender Marty Turco with a backhander to extend the shootout, Jason LaBarbera made a glove save on Stars forward Steve Ott. Aucoin then fired a wrister past the glove of Turco.

Vrbata and Petr Prucha each had a power-play goal in regulation for the Coyotes, who tied the longest win streak set by the Winnipeg Jets from March 8-27, 1985. Five of the wins during this current stretch have been earned in shootouts.

Florida center Stephen Weiss potted his 100th career goal 1:54 after sensational sophomore Steven Stamkos scored on the power play to pull Tampa Bay within 3-2 at 2:08 of the third period.

Radek Dvorak added an insurance tally in the late stages of regulation for the Panthers, who finished 1-2-1 on a four-game homestand.

Paul, MN (Sports Network) - Calgary Flames forward Daymond Langkow left Sunday's game on a stretcher.

Langkow was injured early in the second period. Standing in the slot, he was first hit with a slight check from behind by a Minnesota defender, but as he fell forward, a shot from a Calgary teammate struck him in the back of the neck.

Both teams are struggling for their playoff lives, but it was the Bruins that came away with the two points and they now have 76 on the season, three more than Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. New York is stuck at 71 points with 10 games to play.

Miroslav Satan and Dennis Wideman each scored a goal for the Bruins, who came into the game having lost five of seven.

The Sharks have lost five straight contests and the last four setbacks came in regulation.

In part due to the swoon, San Jose's lead atop the Pacific Division is now just one point over Phoenix, which will aim for a ninth straight win when it visits Dallas tonight. Chicago has also taken advantage of the Sharks' slide and is now a point ahead of San Jose for the top seed in the Western Conference.

The Ducks have won three straight, giving the club its longest winning streak since a season-best five-game stretch from Jan. 5-13.

Even with another victory today, Anaheim has an uphill battle to make the playoffs as it trails Detroit by nine points for the eighth and final postseason berth in the Western Conference.

The Thrashers were swept in all four of their meetings with the Flyers last year, pushing their series losing streak to an eye-popping 14 straight games since a 6-5 overtime win at Philadelphia back on Nov. 18, 2005.

However, 2009-10 has been a different story with Atlanta winning all three meetings against the Flyers, including Saturday's 5-2 decision at Philips Arena. Colby Armstrong notched a pair of goals to lift the Thrashers to the home victory.

The Coyotes have already set a club mark for wins in a season with 45 and enter tonight with an eight-game winning streak -- one victory shy of the franchise record set by the Winnipeg Jets from March 8-27, 1985.

More importantly, Phoenix, which hasn't made the playoffs since the spring of 2002, has a chance to take over first place in the Pacific from San Jose. The Sharks are one point ahead of the Coyotes and are playing in Edmonton tonight.

The recent hot streak has helped solidify Nashville's playoff chances as the Predators enter Sunday with 87 points, tying them with Los Angeles for the fifth seed in the Western Conference. Nashville is still 10 points in back of Chicago for the Central lead with just 10 games left.

Meanwhile, St. Louis, which has won two straight, is six points behind Detroit for the conference's eighth and final postseason berth.

The Lightning are six points behind Boston for the eighth and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. Florida is 14th out of 15 teams in the East but just one point in back of Tampa Bay.

Tampa has certainly not played like a playoff team recently, losing four straight, six of seven and 11 of its last 13 games. The Lightning last went six straight without a win when they were 0-5-1 from Dec. 7-17.

The Sabres had lost three in a row, including the first two tests of this swing, but Buffalo has since recorded road wins against Tampa Bay and Florida. As a result, the Sabres are now seven points ahead of Montreal and Ottawa for the Northeast Division lead.

Carolina has also won two straight and is still holding onto its postseason hopes. The Hurricanes come into Sunday six points behind Boston for the eighth and final playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Flames come into Sunday trailing idle Detroit by two points for the eighth seed in the West. The Wild are just about out of the race as they are currently tied for 12th in the West and nine points behind the Red Wings.

Still, Calgary has struggled against the Wild this year, losing three of the four meetings. However, the Flames have six wins in the last 10 overall encounters and have won five of their last eight tests in St. Paul, including a 5-2 victory at Minnesota on March 7.

The Bruins are holding onto the eighth and final playoff seed with 74 points, but they hardly own a comfortable lead. Boston is just one point ahead of Atlanta, which will face Philadelphia tonight, and three points in front of the 10th-seeded Rangers.

Meanwhile, the Rangers will try to complete a four-game series sweep of Boston today. New York won the previous three encounters in regulation and has taken six of eight overall in the series. The Blueshirts had dropped four straight in Boston before posting a 3-1 victory the last time the clubs met on Jan. 9.

With the clock winding down in the extra session, Zetterberg had his back to the net as he made his way into the slot with a defender on him. Zetterberg then put a backhander off the inside of the right post and into the net for the thrilling win.

"I didn't know how much time was left, but it was enough," Zetterberg said.

In the extra session, Franson snapped a shot from the right point that squeezed through Columbus goaltender Steve Mason and trickled across the goal line.

Franson's tally came moments after Pekka Rinne robbed Blue Jackets veteran backliner Mike Commodore with a nifty glove save. Rinne stopped 33 shots to record his second consecutive shutout and sixth of the season.

Ovechkin sat out the last two games as he served a suspension for shoving Chicago defenseman Brian Campbell into the boards last Sunday.

Tomas Fleischmann and Alexander Semin each had a goal while Jose Theodore made 33 stops for the Capitals, who have won three of four.

Johan Hedberg made 25 stops, 15 in the third period alone, for the win.

Jochen Hecht, Patrick Kaleta and Mike Grier lit the lamp for the Sabres, who improved to 2-1-1 on a five-game road trip and are now seven points ahead of the Senators for first in the Northeast Division.

Ottawa lost in Dallas on Saturday.

Alexander Steen was the only player who found the back of the net, beating New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur late in the first period with a slap shot.

The win was St. Louis' ninth in its last 12 games.
