SAN JOSE, Calif.(AP) - James Reimer earned his third shutout of the season and the San Jose Sharks snapped a nine-game losing streak Tuesday night with a 3-0 victory over Winnipeg, handing the Jets a costly defeat as they try to secure a playoff spot."When you get a shutout, it's nice," Reimer said.

Annnnnnnnnnd we can cool it with the takes (for now).The Bruins bounced back from two disappointing efforts in a row with a solid, 60-minute shift that resulted in a 3-0 win over the Jets in Winnipeg.Two first-period goals would be more than enough for Jeremy Swayman (35 saves), and Tomas Nosek provided the insurance tally with a late empty netter.

Bruins "They had an impact and tilted the ice every time they were on it."On March 2, Jakub Lauko made the most of his first game at TD Garden in nearly a month.Inserted as a fourth-line spark plug, the 22-year-old winger rewarded Jim Montgomery's lineup reshuffle by lighting the lamp twice in Boston's 7-1 victory over the Sabres.

The Bruins look to put an end to their skid Thursday night when they take on the Jets in Winnipeg.Boston is coming off a 6-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in a game where the Black and Gold looked disconnected and fatigued.The Jets are 3-5-2 in their last 10 games and are fresh off a 5-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

After getting some more of their deadline shopping done early by (re)acquired Tyler Motte, the Rangers hosted the Winnipeg Jets.I think most agree he is a good pickup at a decent price, but it didn't help all that much tonight.The Rangers' string rough first periods continued as they went down 2-0 yet again.

No Barzal.No Pageau.No Bailey.And yet the Islanders found a way tonight, defeating the loathsome Pittsburgh Penguins in their own building.Ilya Sorokin, of course, was sensational, outright robbing the Penguins multiple times, keeping the Islanders in it while down 1-0 and 2-1.And there was the fighting, which will get all the attention.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and three assists for the Central Division, which advanced to the final of the 2023 Honda NHL All-Star Game with a 6-4 win against the Pacific Division in the first semifinal at FLA Live Arena on Saturday.The Central will play the Atlantic Division, which defeated the Metropolitan Division 10-6 in the second semifinal, in the final.

The New York Rangers have been an offensive juggernaut for the better half of the month of February.It all came to a screeching halt on Monday night.Connor Hellebuyck saved 50 of 51 shots and shut down the Ranger offense while Igor Shesterkin's struggles persisted in a 4-1 loss to Winnipeg at Madison Square Garden.

The NHL celebrated the historic moment by putting together a video of all 800 of Ovechkin's goals.The video is fifteen minutes and 31 seconds long and set to the William Tell Overture.That sounds like a long time for each goal, but when you do the math, it's only 1.16 seconds per goal.The video helps put in perspective just how incredible the accomplishment is.
