Honorable Mention: Paul Byron and Max Pacioretty scored twice for the Montreal Canadiens as they upended the Edmonton Oilers 4-1. Byron and the Habs captain scored 1:09 apart late in the third period to turn the game from 1-0 in Edmonton’s favor to 2-1 for Montreal. Each would add an empty netter minutes later to seal things and give the Canadiens their seventh win in eight games … Ryan McDonagh scored twice to lead the New York Rangers in a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings. Antti Raanta made 23 saves in his first start since taking over for the injured Henrik Lundqvist. New York now leads the NHL in wins away from home with 25 … The win was Ducks head coach Randy Carlyle’s 400th of his NHL career … Congrats are in order for Stars rookie Remi Elie, who scored his first NHL goal in the loss.
