ST LOUIS — San Jose improved their record to 6-0 and won a battle between undefeated teams with a 6-2 victory that included power play goals from Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski, Tommy Wingels and Patrick Marleau. The Sharks might have been fired up by a hit by the Blues' Maxim Lapierre on veteran defenseman Dan Boyle just 5:22 into the game. Lapierre checked Boyle into the boards from behind and Boyle had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation, and initial reports were that he was alert and moving all of his extremities. Canadiens 3, Jets 0: The Montreal Canadiens scored twice in the first period and held on to beat the Winnipeg Jets, taking three of four games on a road trip through western Canada. Predators 4, Panthers 3: Taking advantage of a defensively challenged opponent, Nashville got its offense going with a season-high four goals and a win over the Panthers. Other results: Red Wings 2, Blue Jackets 1; Sabres 4, Islanders 3 (SO); Lightning 5, Kings 1; Blackhawks 3, Hurricanes 2 (SO); Maple Leafs 4, Wild 1; Penguins 3, Oilers 2; Canucks 3, Flyers 2; Avalanche 3, Stars 2; Senators 4, Coyotes 3 (OT). — Reuters
