NHL Scores & More: Hurricanes Squeak By Jets, Kings Move Into First Place
The Hurricanes did all of their damage early, but it was enough for a 2-1 win over the Jets. The Kings, meanwhile, moved into a first-place tie in the Pacific Division following a 4-1 win over the Senators.
One strong period was all the Hurricanes needed Monday night as they welcomed the Winnipeg Jets to the RBC Center for the final game before the All-Star break. The Canes beat Jets goaltender Chris Mason on two of their first four shots, and those markers held up as the Canes won 2-1 on the strength of goals by Jeff Skinner and Tim Brent in front of 16,045 on Teacher Appreciation Night.
Kings 4, Senators 1
Three second-period goals gave the Los Angeles Kings a nice end to their first half of the season, beating the Ottawa Senators 4-1 on Monday night at Staples Center. The win propelled the Kings (24-16-10) into a first-place tie in the Pacific Division with the San Jose Sharks, who lost 2-1 in a shootout in Edmonton Monday night.
Drew Doughty had two assists for the Kings, who improved to 9-2-6 under new head coach Darryl Sutter. The Kings are 11-1-1 all-time against the Senators.
