Jarome Iginla and Rene Bourque scored 1:31 apart in the third period, lifting the visiting Calgary Flames to a 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.

The Flames moved into eighth place in the Western Conference and pushed Detroit to ninth.

The Red Wings have qualified for the playoffs in 18 straight seasons - the longest streak in sports - and earned home-ice advantage in at least one round 17 consecutive times. Those streaks are now in danger.

Predators 2, Thrashers 1: Dan Ellis made 30 saves, leading Nashville at Atlanta.

Maple Leafs 4, Bruins 3, OT: Nikolai Kulemin scored 4:11 into overtime, lifting host Toronto past Boston.

Flyers 3, Islanders 2: Simon Gagne's goal in the third lifted Philadelphia past visiting New York.

Canadiens 5, Lightning 3: Scott Gomez had a goal and two assists, leading host Montreal past Tampa Bay.

Panthers 3, Wild 2, SO: At St. Paul, Minn., Cory Stillman scored the winning shootout goal and Florida held Minnesota to a franchise-tying low 11 shots.

Canucks 6, Avalanche 4: At Denver, Jannik Hansen scored the decisive goal with 2:08 remaining, Mikael Samuelsson had his first NHL hat trick, and Vancouver beat Colorado.

Senators 4, Oilers 1: Chris Kelly had a goal and an assist, leading Ottawa at Edmonton.

Blue Jackets 5, Ducks 2: Mathieu Garon made 36 saves, leading Columbus at Anaheim.
