Jed Ortmeyer scores his first NHL goal, Mark Messier gets his 685th, and Jussi Markkanen records his 7th career shutout. The New York Rangers defeat Tampa Bay 2-0 to move a game above the .500 mark. Ortmeyer, a former captain of the Michigan Wolverines, is a 25-year-old rookie who has appeared in six Rangers' games this season. The Lightning, meanwhile, have failed to find the net in their last seven periods of hockey. Elsewhere on Tuesday:
The New Jersey Devils open a four-game road trip by extending their unbeaten streak to 12 games. Martin Brodeur's fourth shutout of the season and two points each from John Madden and Patrik Elias lead the Devils to a 4-0 victory in Los Angeles. New Jersey has yet to lose a road game.
The usual suspects - Naslund, Bertuzzi, King - help the Vancouver Canucks to their first road win in six tries, 5-2 over Montreal.
The Senators fall behind 3-0 in Atlanta. But Ottawa takes advantage of poor goaltending by Pasi Nurminen to tie the game in the second period. They finish the job in the third, beating the Thrashers 6-3.
Chris Pronger sets the pick and Keith Tkachuk finishes the play, as the St. Louis Blues score with 28 seconds left to snatch a win from the Bruins. Doug Weight adds the overtime goal, giving St. Louis a 4-3 victory over Boston.
Columbus jumps ahead of Edmonton, but can't make the two-goal lead hold up. Brad Isbister and Ales Hemsky score in the third period to earn the Oilers a 3-3 tie.
