Matt Moulson’s tiebreakin­g power-play goal with 1:18 left lifted Buffalo over Montreal. Tyler Ennis added a highlight-reel goal, and Jhonas Enroth made 30 saves as Buffalo rebounded from a home loss to Winnipeg on Wednesday.

PA Parenteau’s third-period, power-play goal ended Montreal’s scoring slump at 132 minutes, 36 seconds, but it wasn’t enough for the Canadiens to avoid their second-straight loss. Sabres right wing Drew Stafford was injured in the first period and didn’t return.

Ryan Miller made 31 saves for his second consecutiv­e shutout, his third of the season and 32nd of his career, and streaking Vancouver topped struggling Columbus.

They are 6-1-1 in their past eight games. Chris Higgins and Brad Richardson both had a goal and an assist for Vancouver, which played the first game of a season-high, seven-game, 12-day road trip. Henrik Sedin, Shawn Matthias and Alexandre Burrows also scored, and Nick Bonino added three assists.

Columbus has lost five in a row and has dropped to the bottom of the NHL standings with a 2-12-2 slide. Sergei Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 29 shots.

Jimmy Hayes scored the winning goal to lift Florida over Ottawa. Sean Bergenheim and Dylan Olsen also scored for the Panthers, and Vincent Trocheck had two assists. Al Montoya made 22 saves in his fourth start of the season. No. 1 goalie Roberto Luongo missed the game because of a lower-body injury sustained Wednesday against Carolina.

After struggling to get anything past Anderson for most of the game, the Panthers scored two goals in the third to take a 3-2 lead. Anderson, 11-3-1 against the Panthers, was especially sharp in the second period when he turned away 16 shots.

Vladimir Tarasenko scored at 4:20 of overtime to carry St. Louis past Edmonton. The Blues, who rebounded from a shootout loss to Ottawa at home on Tuesday, have won four straight against the Oilers and nine of 10. The Oilers, beaten 1-0 in overtime in Nashville on Thursday, have dropped nine straight games, including three in overtime. They have also lost 13 of 15. Tarasenko’s goal was his team-high 13th of the season. T.J. Oshie had a goal and two assists for his first multipoint game of the season. Jake Allen made 13 saves. Edmonton’s Ben Scrivens stopped 37 shots in the loss.

Marco Scandella scored the winning goal 2:04 into overtime, after Thomas Vanek pulled Minnesota even late in regulation, and the Wild beat Dallas after blowing a three-goal lead. Scandella poked a loose puck past Kari Lehtonen from close range to hand the Stars their eighth straight overtime loss at home.

Minnesota improved to 6-0 against Central Division teams, and Dallas remained winless at 06-2 in the division. Vanek’s tying goal came with 1:52 left in regulation from the right circle on assists from Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, his second assist of the game. Alex Goligoski put Dallas ahead 4-3 by beating Darcy Kuemper over the top of his glove off a pass from Tyler Seguin with 6:31 remaining.

The Stars scored three goals in the last 4 minutes of the second period to wipe out a 3-0 deficit. Ales Hemsky started it with his first goal in his 22nd game in Dallas. Nino Niederreit­er got his seventh goal in eight games and team-leading 11th of the season to start the scoring for Minnesota.— AP
