Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo showed quality beyond his rookie years to stop five of six shoot-out attempts and make 30 saves on the way to his first NHL win against Philadelphia Flyers.

Columbus won 3-2 after Brandon Dubinsky scored the winning goal to seal the Blue Jackets' second win on the trot.

The Blue Jackets took a two-goal lead with goals from Brandon Saad and Ryan Murray before the Flyers levelled in the third through Scott Laughton and former Blue Jacket Jakub Voracek.

Jamie Benn kept up his fine goalscoring form with another double as he helped the Dallas Stars to a 6-2 win over Montreal Canadiens.

Benn's double takes his tally to 22 for the season, the best in the NHL as the Stars, top of the Western Conference, got the better of the Canadiens who sit pretty on top of the Atlantic Division.

Patrick Kane was a one-man army for Chicago Blackhawks as he scored an equaliser and then the winner in the shoot-out to see off the Buffalo Sabres 3-2, while St. Louis Blues survived a late scare against Calgary to win 3-2 and snap the Flames' seven-game winning streak.

Toronto Maple Leafs scored four in the third period to seal a 5-0 thrashing of Los Angeles Kings, while Chris Stewart and Ryan Kesler got the goals for Anaheim Ducks to defeat New Jersey Devils 2-1.

Pittsburgh Penguins could not claw back first-period goals from Carolina's Jordan Staal and John-Michael Liles as the Hurricanes won 2-1, while Nashville Predators won an enthralling encounter with Minnesota Wild 3-2.

Arizona Coyotes completed shut out the New York Islanders 1-0, while Colorado Avalanche comfortably dispatched Edmonton Oilers 5-1.
