The rookie center Adam Henrique scored at 16 minutes 41 seconds of the third period to lift the Devils to their third straight win, a 3-2 victory over the visiting Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday. Henrique inadvertently sent Joni Pitkanen's pass past Martin Brodeur for a goal that tied the game at 2-2 at 6:06 of the third. But Henrique made up for that by skating around Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward and sliding the puck under Ward for the game-winning goal. It was Henrique's second straight game-winner after scoring in overtime to beat Winnipeg Saturday. Cam Ward made 33 saves for the Hurricanes, while Brodeur had 25 saves for his second straight win after missing nearly three weeks with a shoulder injury. Stars 5, Capitals 2: Michael Ryder scored twice, Adam Burish had the tie-breaking goal early in the third period, and Dallas ended Washington's six-game home winning streak. Blues 3, Blackhawks 0: Jaroslav Halak shrugged off his shaky start to the season, making 29 saves against visiting Chicago to give St. Louis a victory in Coach Ken Hitchcock's debut. Chris Stewart scored on a power play to end a 10-game goal drought. His deflection in the second period was only the fourth goal in 41 power-play opportunities for St. Louis, which entered as the NHL's worst team with the man advantage. Panthers 5, Maple leafs 1: Florida took advantage of shaky goaltending by Jonas Gustavsson to coast to a victory in Toronto. The Panthers (7-4-3) are off to their best start since the 1999-2000 season. Wild 3, Flames 0: Niklas Backstrom made 41 saves as Minnesota won in Calgary. Sabres 6, Jets 5: Thomas Vanek scored a power-play goal 4:35 into overtime, tipping in Jason Pominville's shot to rally Buffalo past visiting Winnipeg. Oilers 3, Canadiens 1: Nikolai Khabibulin had 28 saves and Ryan Jones scored a short-handed goal in the second to send Edmonton to a win in Montreal. Red Wings 5, Avalanche 2: Johan Franzen scored three goals, and Detroit rolled to a victory against visiting Colorado. In another games, Los Angeles Kings downed Nashville Predators 4-3.
