DENVER (AP) — The Edmonton Oilers broke the ice with a four-goal second period. As for the shattered glass in the penalty box Carey Price Jersey , it wasn’t their fault.Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored twice in the decisive second period, Mikko Koskinen stopped 39 shots and the Oilers extended their winning streak to four games with a 6-4 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night.“We didn’t give them a lot of time to breathe,” Nugent-Hopkins said about the middle period. “We were in their face a lot and putting pucks right back into their zone. That was our plan. We wanted to keep them hemmed in.”Connor McDavid added a goal and an assist as the Oilers improved to 8-2-1 since coach Ken Hitchcock took over a struggling team on Nov. 20.Tempers flared in the third period, with Matt Calvert and Matt Benning squaring off and drawing penalties for fighting. As Benning went to the visitors’ penalty box, a fan appeared to shatter the glass by tapping on it. Benning had to sit on a chair down the tunnel from the bench to serve his time as the shards were swept up.“It was definitely weird. I just sat in the hallway,” Benning said. “It’s kind of boring back there. … Five minutes for being a bad boy.”Kyle Brodziak scored his first goal in more than a month, Leon Draisaitl added another in his 300th NHL game and defenseman Darnell Nurse got into the scoring act with a slap shot early in the third.Mikko Rantanen, the league’s leading scorer Jeff Petry Jersey Kids , had a goal and three assists to give him at least a point in 12 straight games. It’s tied for the longest active streak in the NHL with Alex Ovechkin.Gabriel Landeskog had two goals and Colin Wilson added another for the Avs, who have lost three of four.“There’s going to be dips in your season where you’re not happy with the way you’re playing,” defenseman Erik Johnson said. “There’s still confidence that we’re going to bounce back and go on another streak here.”Edmonton was up 1-0 heading into the second before Nugent-Hopkins scored twice over a 4:11 stretch to chase Semyon Varlamov. Philipp Grubauer entered and McDavid quickly added another.After Rantanen beat Koskinen, Draisaitl gave the Oilers a 5-1 advantage by knocking in a rebound. Nugent-Hopkins nearly had his third goal of the second period, only to have his wrist shot turned back by Grubauer.Trailing 6-3 late, the Avalanche pulled Grubauer and it led to Landeskog’s goal.Allowing three goals in the third period didn’t sit well with Koskinen.“That’s the dangerous part when you have a big lead. You kind of start believing the game is over. But it’s never over,” Koskinen said. “That’s a little bit what happened with me. I need to be better than that.”This has been a rough stretch for Colorado, which has allowed 21 goals over the last four games.“We cracked. We fragmented. Then we got fancy and had some turnovers Jonathan Drouin Jersey ,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. “Some of our habits went bad and they stretched out the lead. We should be confident in our ability. We have to play confident and stick to our game.”With his big game, Rantanen reached 52 points. It’s the second-most through 31 games in Avalanche history, trailing only Peter Forsberg (53 points during the 1995-96 season).“Mikko is one of the best in the league right now,” teammate Nathan MacKinnon said. “If he was in New York, he’d probably be in that conversation a lot more. Since we’re in Colorado, it’s tougher. He’s so good and so important for the team.”NOTES: Nine different Oilers had an assist. … Avalanche forward Vladislav Kamenev will have shoulder surgery. … F Alexander Kerfoot was a scratch with an undisclosed injury. … The Avs have played the fewest games at home so far this season. They’re 6-3-3 at Pepsi Center.UP NEXTOilers: Start a back-to-back Thursday in Winnipeg before a home game against Philadelphia.Avalanche: Play in St. Louis on Friday. TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning are piling up points.Stamkos had three goals to become the first player from the 2008 draft to reach 700 points, and the NHL-leading Lightning won their seventh consecutive game by beating the New York Rangers 6-3 on Monday night.“Stammer is finding his groove http://www.officialcanadiensprostore.com/authentic-adidas-karl-alzner-jersey ,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said.Stamkos scored power-play goals that tied the game in the first and second periods. The center completed his ninth hat trick and first since Oct. 13, 2014, against Montreal from the slot at 10:41 of the third.“I knew it had been a while,” Stamkos said with a laugh. “I don’t know the exact date . I don’t want to hear it.”The Lightning star, coming off a two-goal, two-assist outing in Saturday night’s 7-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche, has 701 points in 696 career games. He joins Martin St. Louis (953) and Vincent Lecavalier (874) as the only Tampa Bay players reaching the 700-point milestone.Ryan McDonagh had a go-ahead goal, Anthony Cirelli had the other two Tampa Bay goals Jonathan Bernier Jersey Womens , and Louis Domingue made 23 saves.Kevin Hayes had two goals and Jesper Fast also scored for the Rangers, who have lost six of eight (2-5-1). Henrik Lundqvist stopped 30 shots.“To be able to beat some of the best teams, you have play really strict and smart, and make the right decision with or without the puck,” Lundqvist said. “So, the next time we play a top team like this we need to do all those things.”New York defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk left in the second period with an upper-body injury. He took a check around the left shoulder and had a sling on his left arm postgame.Rangers coach David Quinn had no update after the game on Shattenkirk, who will be evaluated Tuesday.Stamkos scored from the left circle while falling down at 6:19 of the second before McDonagh put Tampa Bay up 3-2 with 7:18 left in the period.“Nothing kind of seems to phase us,” McDonagh said.Cirelli extended his goal streak to three games 24 seconds before Stamkos’ third goal of the goal.Fast and Cirelli Mike Reilly Jersey , with an empty-netter, had late third-period goals.The Rangers took a 1-0 lead 12:19 into the game when Hayes had a backhander from the left circle deflect off McDonagh’s skate.After Stamkos scored at 14:09 of the first, Hayes made it 2-1 with a rebound goal just 58 seconds later.The Lightning went 2 for 6 with the man advantage.“Take that many penalties, you’re not going to beat Tampa,” Lundqvist said. “That’s just the way it is. We can work really hard and do a lot of good things but it’s too important in the game. Hopefully we really learned a lesson.”New York failed to score on its lone power-play.“Ten minutes extra killing penalties is just not a recipe to have success in this league or any league really,” Quinn said.NOTES: New York has been ahead after the first just seven times (3-3-1). . Lightning RW Nikita Kucherov had an assist and has 22 assists and 27 points over his last 14 games. .
