SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Jannik Hansen scored the tiebreaking goal with 5:03 remaining and the Vancouver Canucks snapped a nine-game losing streak by beating the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Thursday night.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Jannik Hansen scored his second goal of the game 4:01 into overtime and the Vancouver Canucks edged the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 on Saturday night for their first overtime victory this season.

This is probably the woman of every NHL fan's dreams.

A former NHL 'enforcer', Dale Purinton, was arrested this week by the Oneida County Sheriff's Office in connection with a burglary in the Sylvan Beach area.

The Utica Comets will play without Bobby Sanguinetti next season.

Duncan Keith and Patrick Kane scored goals and goalie Corey Crawford was flawless in net, as the Blackhawks shut out the Tampa Bay Lightning, 2-0, in Game 6 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals in Chicago on Monday night. With the win, Chicago captured their third NHL championship in six seasons.

The Chicago Blackhawks used a late third period rally, scoring twice in under two minutes to take Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals 2-1 over the Lightning in Tampa.

"Stanley Cup." There are no two more powerful words in sports (this side of "Game 7," of course).

Backs to the wall once again, the New York Rangers rallied for a seven goal performance to setup at deciding Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals for the right to the play for Lord Stanley's Cup.

The Rangers proved they could hang around in a high scoring game with the Lightning but in the end Tampa Bay took Game 3 in overtime by a final of 6-5, and a 2-1 series advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals.
