Los Angeles • Paul Byron scored the clinching goal in the fourth round of the shootout, and the Montreal Canadiens avoided a winless three-game swing through California with a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday.

Max Pacioretty had two goals and an assist for the Canadiens, who won for just the second time in seven road games. Montreal had only one win in its previous 11 games in California before scoring three times in the four-round shootout.

Alexander Radulov and Andrew Shaw also scored and Carey Price made 27 saves for the Atlantic Division-leading Canadiens.

Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty had a goal and an assist apiece for the Kings, who lost for only the second time in eight games. Peter Budaj stopped 26 shots.

The teams' combined eight regulation goals — including six in a crazy second period — were the most scored in a game featuring either club in the past month.

Flyers 4, Predators 2 • Wayne Simmonds scored two power-play goals and Philadelphia beat Nashville to win its fifth consecutive game. Playing in front of a sellout crowd in Nashville, the Flyers earned their second road victory in two days against a Central Division team. They defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 on Saturday.

Jets 2, Blackhawks 1 • In Chicago, Andrew Copp scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:45 left, Bryan Little got his third goal in three games and Winnipeg edged Chicago. Copp beat Scott Darling on the stick side with a shot from the right circle that slipped just inside the left post.

Red Wings 4, Islanders 3, OT • In New York, Danny DeKeyser scored 1:02 into overtime to give Detroit a victory over New York. Mike Green scored twice and Henrik Zetterberg had a goal and assist for Detroit, which improved to 4-1-2 in its last seven games.

Hurricanes 1, Lightning 0, OT • In Raleigh, N.C., Phillip Di Giuseppe scored his first goal of the season 1:26 into overtime, giving Carolina a win over Tampa Bay. Viktor Stalberg assisted on Di Giuseppe's wrist shot from the right circle, which ended a three-game skid for the Canes. —
