comeback to beat Washington.

remaining to pull Washington within a goal. Then Maxim Lapierre
was whistled for hooking with 1:52 to play, giving the Capitals
a power play through the end of regulation.

the third time in nine road games despite getting outshot 27-8
over the last two periods.
Eric Fehr scored in the first period for the Capitals.

Wild 3, Islanders 2=
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Owen Nolan's goal with 67 seconds
remaining, his second of the game, sent struggling Minnesota
over the New York Islanders.
The 37-year-old Nolan had been dragged down in front of
Islanders goalie Martin Biron on an earlier sequence and had
just climbed back to his feet when the puck came his way from
Eric Belanger. The goal gave a big lift to a team that was 0-2-2
in its previous four games.
Jon Sim had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, who lost in
regulation for the first time in six games despite holding a 2-1
lead in the third period. Mikko Koivu tied it for Minnesota on a
power play with 13:02 left.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Christian Ehrhoff's second
goal got Vancouver even in the third period, and Henrik Sedin
then netted the go-ahead tally as the Canucks rallied to beat
Colorado.
Steve Bernier added another goal - on a pretty slap pass from
Ehrhoff - just as the first penalty in a brief 5-on-3 advantage
ended with 8:21 left. Mikael Samuelsson scored on a skipping
shot from the point less than 2 minutes later.
Roberto Luongo made 22 saves as the Canucks opened a five-game
homestand the way they ended a five-game road trip six days
earlier in Colorado, where they beat the Avalanche 8-2.
David Jones and rookie Matt Duchene scored power-play goals for
Colorado in the game's first nine minutes.
