Uniondale, N.Y. • Paul Stastny scored twice — including the go-ahead goal in the third period — and the Blues rallied to beat the New York Islanders 6-4, on Saturday, giving relief goaltender Martin Brodeur his first win in a St. Louis uniform.
Stastny's second goal of the game and his fifth of the season at 13:26 of the third snapped a 4-4 tie and gave the Blues their first lead. St. Louis fell behind 3-0 in the first period, then replaced starter Jake Allen with Brodeur to start the second.
Brodeur, the former New Jersey Devils star, made 14 saves for career win No. 689 and his 52nd against the Islanders, the most for the 42-year-old goaltender against any team. Brodeur stopped Brock Nelson and Anders Lee in front early in the third and was hardly tested late.
Penguins 3, Senators 2 • In Pittsburgh, Evgeni Malkin scored twice and Christian Ehrhoff added the go-ahead goal with 1:50 remaining in the third period to give the Penguins a win over Ottawa.
With the win, the Penguins avoided losing consecutive games in regulation this season and lifted their record against Atlantic Division teams to 8-0-1.
David Legwand and Mike Zibanejad scored for the Senators.
The loss was Ottawa's fifth in a row. The Senators, 1-6-1 in their past eight games, were coming off a 2-1 loss at home Thursday against the New York Islanders that included an emotional retirement ceremony for longtime Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson.
Flyers 2, Kings 1 • In Los Angeles, Steve Mason made 37 saves and Philadelphia got goals from Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds in victory over Los Angeles, snapping a six-game losing streak.
The victory was only the second in 12 games for the Flyers, who avoided tying the franchise record of 10 consecutive road losses.
Justin Williams scored for the defending Stanley Cup champions and Jonathan Quick faced only 16 shots. The Kings were scoreless on the power play against a penalty-killing unit that came in with the league-worst 74.4 success rate.
Capitals 2, Devils 1 • In Newark, N.J., Jay Beagle and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored 3:25 apart in the second period and Braden Holtby stopped 33 shots to lead Washington over New Jersey.
