ST. LOUIS

Michal Neuvirth made 33 saves and Brandon Manning broke a scoreless tie with a second-period goal to lead the Philadelphia Flyers over the St. Louis Blues 2-0 on Thursday night.

Claude Giroux added an empty-net goal with 5.4 seconds left in Philadelphia’s first shutout of the season.

Capitals 4, Islanders 3

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lars Eller scored two goals, including the winner, and had an assist to Washington beat New York.

Eller was arguably the best player on the ice, drawing two penalties and committing one as part of an eventful outing. The Danish center’s play helped Washington escape despite being outshot 38-19 and 16-2 in the third period.

Braden Holtby made 35 saves, including many in the third while the Islanders were pouring it on. Taylor Chorney and Alex Chiasson each scored his first goal of the season for the Capitals.

Jets 5, Stars 2

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Mark Scheifele had a hat trick, Patrik Laine scored his first goal in five games and Winnipeg beat Dallas to extend its points streak to six games.

Laine’s goal came after he told reporters at the morning skate that he didn’t have a lot of confidence and felt he couldn’t do many “positive things” on the ice. He has five goals and two assists in 12 games.

The Jets have won three straight to improve to 6-3-2. They are 4-0-2 on the points streak.

Wild 6, Habs 3

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Matt Cullen scored his first goal of the season on his 41st birthday and added an assist during Minnesota’s three-goal first period, giving the sputtering Wild a welcome spark.

Nino Neiderreiter and Tyler Ennis also scored to send struggling Canadiens goalie Carey Price into the first intermission with a 3-0 deficit. Ryan Suter chipped in a second-period goal, and Jared Spurgeon scored on a power play for more insurance in the first minute of the third.

Jackets 7, Panthers 3

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Oliver Bjorkstrand and Josh Anderson each scored twice to lift Columbus over Florida.
