COLUMBUS, Ohio - After going winless in their first eight games, the Carolina Hurricanes have found some answers.Zach Boychuk, Riley Nash, Justin Faulk and Eric Staal scored as the Hurricanes won their third game in a row with a 4-2 decision over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.Yeah, were rolling, said Cam Ward, who had 17 saves including several big ones in the closing minutes. The guys are playing really well.Boychuk and Nash staked the Hurricanes to a quick 2-0 lead at even strength. After Nick Foligno scored the first of his two goals for the Blue Jackets — who have lost their last six — Faulk provided a short-handed goal that proved to be the difference.On the power play at the outset of the second period, Columbus defenceman Jack Johnson lost the puck on the short boards and Faulk carried the puck up the left wing. He fought off a challenge from Columbus rookie Alexander Wennberg and then lunged while pushing the puck past McElhenny for the short-handed goal.Its a momentum swing, for sure, Carolina coach Bill Peters said of Faulks goal. It ends up being the game-winner. A huge play. They were thinking of getting one to tie it and the next thing you know youre down two. Its a lot easier to play in this league with a lead — and a two-goal lead is special.Foligno scored his second with 5:23 left in the third to cut the lead to 3-2. The Blue Jackets threatened the rest of the way with Ward stopping Scott Hartnells point-blank shot and Ryan Johansen on a rush. But Staals late empty-netter put it out of reach.Curtis McElhenny, the backup to the injured Sergei Bobrovsky, stopped 33 shots for the injury-riddled Blue Jackets. They last lost six in a row (0-5-1) from Jan. 19-Feb. 1, 2013. They hadnt lost six straight in regulation since Nov. 10-20, 2006. Coach Gerard Gallant was fired three days later.Ward also made a strong save when he got a piece of Cam Atkinsons unobstructed one-timer from the slot in the waning moments of the second period. He also stopped Matt Calvert — just back in the lineup from missing four games with a lower-body injury — on a rush early in the third.The Hurricanes top-line centre, Staal, said the team is enjoying turning things around.We want to keep the feeling going, obviously, he said. Weve got everyone in the lineup whos supposed to be there and were feeling more comfortable in what were doing. Weve just got to keep it going. Its a lot funner being on the winning side than where we were before.Columbus is not having much fun.(We were) out battled and outskated for most of the game, coach Todd Richards said. It looked to me like they wanted it more than we did.The Blue Jackets are without four top forwards — Nathan Horton (back), Brandon Dubinsky (abdominal surgery), Artem Anisimov (concussion) and Mark Letestu (groin) — along with Bobrovsky and their best offensive defenceman James Wisniewski, the latter two out with broken fingers. One of the teams top defenceman, Ryan Murray, is out with a recurrence of knee problems. And rookie defenceman Cody Goloubef is also sidelined for at least a month with a knee injury.Were on a six-game losing skid and theres no reason for it, Foligno said. How do you win? Usually when you get out of a losing skid its because youre cracking the net and youre getting ugly goals. Youre doing whats necessary to score goals. Were not doing that. Were trying to make an extra play, trying to be too cute.Notes: Earlier in the day, the Blue Jackets activated LW Matt Calvert and assigned C Sean Collins to AHL Springfield. ... Carolina RW Alexander Semin, a healthy scratch in the last two games (both wins), returned to the lineup and was on the first line alongside Staal and Jiri Tlusty. ... D Frederic St. Denis played his first NHL game since April 17, 2012, with Montreal, while making his Blue Jackets debut. ... It was the first of a home-and-home series this week between the teams. ... The Blue Jackets got back two key players — LW Matt Calvert and C Boone Jenner, who had missed time with a lower-body injury and a broken hand, respectively. Nike Air Max Køb .

The Sharks had a five-game winning streak snapped with Mondays 3-2 overtime setback to the Anaheim Ducks. Joe Pavelski and Melker Karlsson had third- period goals to put San Jose ahead, but Anaheim tied the game later in the frame before getting a winner from Ryan Kesler at the 58-second mark of overtime. Antti Niemi made 29 saves in defeat. To win in this building is tough, Sharks head coach Todd McLellan said. I think we have to take some satisfaction that we came from behind in the third. Pavelskis goal was the 207th of his career, passing Owen Nolan for second place on the clubs all-time goal-scoring list, while Karlsson netted his first NHL goal in his sixth career game. Sharks forward John Scott will begin a four-game suspension tonight for hitting Ducks forward Tim Jackman in the face during the second period of Mondays game. Scott appeared to catch Jackman with both his glove and the butt end of his stick, with the Anaheim winger injured on the play. Scott isnt eligible to return to action until Jan. 5. The Kings also lost their last game before the Christmas break, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Calgary Flames. But while the Sharks rallied to at one point take the lead in their last game, the Kings failed to hold a 3-0 addvantage versus the Flames.ddddddddddddCalgarys Johnny Gaudreau scored twice in the third period with his goaltender pulled to tie the game, and Mark Giordano had the winner with 53 seconds left in overtime. Marian Gaborik, Jamie McBain, and Trevor Lewis each scored for the Kings, who had their two-game win streak come to an end and have lost six of past nine. Jonathan Quick made 24 saves. The score was not a good indication of the game, Kings head coach Darryl Sutter said. Halfway through the game they had a lot more desperation than our team. The Kings fell to 13-4-2 at home despite Gaborik extending his goal-scoring streak to five straight games. He has seven goals over that time, with the last five coming on the power play. Los Angeles is 7-for-13 on the man advantage over the past three games. Anze Kopitar assisted on Gaboriks goal and has logged nine helpers and 10 points over his past four games. The Kings lost to the Sharks 4-0 in Los Angeles on Oct. 8 in the first of five meetings this season. That snapped San Joses four-game series road losing streak and was only its second victory in its past 10 trips to Los Angeles. Quick is 11-5-5 with a 2.56 goals against average and .909 save percentage in 22 games versus the Sharks, while Niemi has gone 13-6-3 with a 2.34 GAA and .925 save percentage in 23 meetings. Both goaltenders have three shutouts in this matchup as well.
