CALGARY — It took 47 games but Columbus' first shorthanded goal of the season was a big one on Thursday. Coming off the stick of Alexandre Texier, the goal broke a 2-2 tie and propelled the Blue Jackets to a 5-2 NHL victory over the Calgary Flames.

MONTREAL — Patrick Roy didn't want Thursday night's game to be about him. Few hockey legends, however, mean as much to Montreal as "Saint Patrick" himself.

EDMONTON — It was a classic case of not asking how, but how many? Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist and backup goalie Calvin Pickard made 27 saves for the shutout as the Edmonton Oilers kept their spectacular streak alive with a 3-0 victory

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen each had a goal and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes past the New Jersey Devils 3-2 on Thursday night.
