Oilers rookie Cogliano has overtime scoring touch

Edmonton rookie Andrew Cogliano's knack for scoring in overtime has given the Oilers three straight wins. San Jose's penchant for success on the road has translated into a club-record 10-game winning streak.

Cogliano scored in overtime for an NHL-record third consecutive game, and the Oilers defeated the visiting St. Louis Blues 4-3 Tuesday night. His goal came 4.9 seconds before the game would have gone to a shootout.

"It was pretty shocking," said Cogliano, who has 16 goals in 70 games this season. "It's hard to believe something like this, it's certainly a feeling I will remember for the rest of my life."

Evgeni Nabokov made 26 saves, and Joe Pavelski and Milan Michalek each scored for the Sharks in a 2-1 victory at Nashville.

"When you basically outshoot a team in their own building, with as long as we have been on the road, that says a lot about our character and determination right now," coach Ron Wilson said of the Sharks, who had a 42-27 advantage in shots.

With the win, the Sharks finished up a stretch in which they played 11 of 13 games away from San Jose. They have the best road record in the NHL at 25-8-3.

At Montreal, Carey Price made 38 saves for his second shutout, and Bryan Smolinski and Saku Koivu scored first-period goals as the Canadiens moved ahead of the Devils into first place in the Eastern Conference.

At Detroit, Pavel Datsyuk scored a go-ahead goal late in the second period and the NHL-leading Red Wings have won four straight after enduring their worst slump in nearly two decades.

At Atlanta, Andrew Brunette scored two goals, and Joe Sakic and rookie David Jones each had a goal and two assists as the Avalanche moved into a tie for first place in the Northwest Division.

At Glendale, Ariz., Radim Vrbata scored the only goal of the shootout.The Coyotes rallied from 2-0 down behind goals from Shane Doan and Keith Yandle and killed a penalty in overtime.

At Tampa, Fla., Vincent Lecavalier scored three goals and Michel Ouellet added two.Lightning coach John Tortorella moved past Bob Johnson to become the winningest American-born NHL coach with 235 victories.
