San Jose @ Detroit 1-0 - Logan Couture scored in the shootout and San Jose beat the Detroit Red Wings 1-0 at Joe Louis Arena on Monday night. The Sharks (8-0-1) are the NHL's last team without a regulation loss. It was the first game of a four-game Eastern road swing for San Jose. Each goalie was credited with a shutout for not allowing a goal in 65 minutes. Antti Niemi, who recorded his 24th career shutout, made 24 saves for San Jose and Jimmy Howard, who earned his 17th shutout, stopped 27 shots for the Red Wings. It was Niemi's third shutout against Detroit. He also stopped Todd Bertuzzi on Detroit's final shootout attempt with a spectacular pad save. Detroit's Brendan Smith hit the outside of the goal post with 4:57 remaining in regulation. Niemi made an outstanding save on Daniel Alfredsson's shot from the bottom of the right circle 7:31 into the second period. San Jose outshot Detroit 7-4 in a scoreless opening period, in which the Red Wings killed off two penalties.
Calgary @ Los Angeles 3-2 - TJ Brodie scored on a slap shot from above the circles on the power play at 19:30 of the third period to give Calgary a 3-2 win Monday night at Staples Center. Jiri Hudler fed Brodie, who found an opening in the left side of the net with Anze Kopitar in the penalty box for hooking. It was the first since Feb.2 that L.A. allowed three power-play goals. It was Calgary's third power-play goal of the night, a rarity against the League's third-best penalty kill. It was also desperately needed for a Flames team that went a combined 1-for-10 on the power play in two previous losses to the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks. Cammalleri made his season debut and scored a signature one-time goal in the first period. He also assisted on another goal and won seven of nine faceoffs in 16:33 minutes of ice time. Hudler extended his point streak to eight games and rookie Sean Monahan now has points in seven of eight games. L.A. grabbed momentum late in the second period. Jeff Carter was credited with his fifth goal when he skated down the right side shorthanded, wheeled by Flames defenseman Mark Giordano and had a pass to Mike Richards go off Dennis Wideman's stick and into the net to tie it, 2-2. Calgary got power-play goals from Cammalleri and Monahan to take a 2-1 lead late in the second period. L.A. had killed 14 straight penalties and looked impenetrable in its previous game, but allowed two power-play goals in the first two periods. Monahan was left open to bang home the puck after Drew Doughty's holding penalty at 13:39 for his sixth goal. Cammalleri, a former King, returned from a hand injury and one-timed Hudler's pass at 16:40 for his first goal since April 21. Jonathan Quick (22 saves) had a slight read, but couldn't get his left pad over in time. Doughty got his third goal and second in as many games, a significant clip considering that it took him 28 games to score last season and 39 to get his third goal. The Kings didn't look like they would do much on their second try against the Flames' 30th-ranked penalty kill. But Jake Muzzin, Dustin Brown and Justin Williams cycled the puck and Brown set up Doughty for a wrist shot that beat Ramo high on the blocker side with 1:24 left in the opening period.
