SUNRISE, Fla. - Roberto Luongo stopped 27 shots for his fourth shutout of the season, Aaron Ekblad scored in his first game back from a concussion and the Florida Panthers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 on Friday night to stop a four-game losing streak.

Reilly Smith, Quinton Howden and former Chicago defenceman Brian Campbell also scored for Florida. The Panthers had lost their last eight games against Chicago, getting outscored 25-11 in those contests.

Scott Darling stopped 28 shots for Chicago, which lost on consecutive nights in the state of Florida. The Blackhawks lost in Tampa on Thursday, after winning 12 straight to match the Panthers for the longest winning streak in the league this season.

Florida has now won 13 straight games with Ekblad in the lineup. He missed the Panthers' previous four games.

AVALANCHE 2, BLUE 1, OT

DENVER (AP) — Semyon Varlamov made 33 saves and then stopped all three attempts in the shootout, and Colorado beat St. Louis.

Nathan MacKinnon scored in the final minute of regulation to rally the Avalanche, and then Gabriel Landeskog scored the only goal in the shootout.

Landeskog scored on the first shot and then Varlamov took over. He stopped Alexander Steen and then smothered a shot by Vladimir Tarasenko that held up under review.

Troy Brouwer had the last try, but Varlamov made the save.

Brian Elliott had 40 saves and Steen scored the only goal for St. Louis. The Blues had their three-game winning streak stopped.

RANGERS 4, HURRICANES 1

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — J.T. Miller scored twice in the second period and Henrik Lundqvist made 30 saves to lead New York to a 4-1 victory over Carolina.

Ryan McDonagh scored to stretch his scoring streak to four games, and Keith Yandle also had a goal for New York.

Joakim Nordstrom scored for Carolina, and Eddie Lack made 28 saves.

New York has won 14 of its last 15 meetings with Carolina.

The game was played before a tiny crowd — many in Rangers jerseys — due in part to several inches of wet snow that began falling in the afternoon.

RED WINGS 3, SABRES 0

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — All-Star rookie Dylan Larkin had a goal and an assist and Petr Mrazek stopped 19 shots to lead Detroit to a 3-0 victory over Buffalo.

Henrik Zetterberg and Luke Glendening also scored for the Red Wings, who snapped a two-game losing streak.

Larkin scored the winner with 7:59 remaining, circling from behind the net to collect the rebound off Glendening's shot and banking the puck off the pads of Robin Lehner.

Sabres coach Dan Bylsma challenged that Larkin was offside as he carried the puck into the offensive zone, but the goal was upheld on replay.

Larkin's goal came 41 seconds after the Sabres killed off a 4-minute penalty on forward Marcus Foligno for high-sticking.

ISLANDERS 5, SENATORS 2

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Travis Hamonic and John Tavares each had a goal and an assist in the third period and New York beat Ottawa.

Hamonic beat Andrew Hammond with a slap shot at 2:58 of the third to give New York a 3-2 lead and Tavares slipped a backhand past Hammond at 7:03 for some insurance.

Kyle Okposo scored on a bank shot off the backside of Ottawa defenceman Jared Cowen to finish the scoring.

Nick Leddy and Cal Clutterbuck also scored for the Islanders while Jaroslav Halak made 28 saves for the win.

Bobby Ryan and Erik Karlsson had goals for the Senators, who were coming off a five-game, 12-day road trip. Hammond had 29 saves.
