Colorado started a brief, critical late-season road trip with a win over
Minnesota.

Colorado, which tied Dallas for the two Western Conference wild-card positions
at 82 points apiece.

Mikko Koivu scored the only goal for Minnesota.

Artturi Lehkonen had a pair of goals and Alex Galchenyuk and Jonathan Drouin
recorded two assists each as Montreal defeated visiting Dallas to snap a
five-match losing streak.

full NHL seasons. Dzingel, Marian Gaborik, Erik Karlsson and Tom Pyatt each

trick. Ryan McDonagh added a goal for Tampa Bay.

Flames 1, Oilers 0

Johnny Gaudreau scored the lone goal early in the second period and goalie
Mike Smith pitched a 28-save shutout as Calgary blanked visiting Edmonton.

Gaudreau tallied at the 5:18 mark of the middle frame. Calgary's Micheal
Ferland won a board battle with Adam Larsson, then gave the puck to Sean
Monahan, who faked a shot before feeding a wide-open Gaudreau at the doorstep.

saves).

Gaudreau's goal was his 80th point of the season, a career high.
