DETROIT -- Vincent Trocheck and Brandon Pirri had the only shootout goals to lift the Florida Panthers to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.

Roberto Luongo made 29 saves through overtime and stopped Pavel Datsyuk and Gustav Nyquist in the tiebreaker to give the Panthers their second victory in two meetings against the Red Wings this season.

Tomas Fleischmann and Jonathan Huberdeau scored in the first period for the Panthers.

Riley Sheahan and Nyquist also scored in the first for Detroit and Jimmy Howard finished with 24 saves. The Red Wings fell to 1-5 in shootouts this season.

PENGUINS 3, FLAMES 1

PITTSBURGH -- Blake Comeau and Kris Letang scored early in the first period to lead Pittsburgh past Calgary.

Rob Klinkhammer also scored to help the Penguins beat the Flames for the eighth straight time. Pittsburgh's last loss to Calgary was on Dec. 3, 2005.

Johnny Gaudreau had the only goal for the Flames, who have lost four in a row.

The Penguins played without defending NHL scoring champion Sidney Crosby, who also will miss Saturday's game at Columbus while he awaits results from medical tests for an illness that caused the right side of his face to swell.

Though there have been more than a dozen cases of mumps around the NHL, Crosby doesn't believe he has that illness.

CANADIENS 6, KINGS 2

MONTREAL -- Jiri Sekac scored two goals and Cary Price stopped 44 shots to help Montreal win its second straight.

P.K. Subban had a goal and two assists, David Desharnais and Andre Markov each had a goal and an assist, and Sven Andrighetto also scored for Montreal.

Defensemen Jake Muzzin and Drew Doughty scored for the Kings, who have lost three of their last four. Back-up goalie Martin Jones finished with 14 saves. Jones, coming off shutouts in his previous two starts, gave up three goals on the first eight shots he faced.

At the other end, Price made save after brilliant save until Muzzin finally got the Kings on the scoreboard at 3:35 of the third period.

DUCKS 4, OILERS 2

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Sami Vatanen and Ryan Getzlaf each had a goal and an assist as league-leading Anaheim won its sixth straight and ninth in 11 games.

Kyle Palmieri and Nate Thompson also scored for the Ducks.

Tyler Pitlick and Jeff Petry scored for the Oilers, who have lost three in a row and 14 of their last 15. Edmonton also dropped to 1-15-4 against Western Conference opponents this season.
