USC will be playing for Its second SE Penguins domin Associated Press The New York Rangers are proving they aren't perfect. So far, the Pittsburgh Penguins are. "We've won a lot of one-goal games, but we've got the players to win one-goal games," Pittsburgh's Len Barrie said after the Penguins beat the Rangers 4-3 Wednesday night. At 6-0, the Penguins have the best record in the NHL and are off to their best start since they opened 7-0 in 1986-87. The defending Stanley Cup champion Rangers, meanwhile, are 2-5 and already in a tough position in the abbreviated 48-game season. "You've got to grab it right away, or it will get away from you," Rangers coach Colin Campbell said. "I don't know if its not being hungry or what it is, but we have to do something about it. How long can you be patient in a 48-game season?" Elsewhere in the NHL, it was Hartford 2, Ottawa 1; Dallas 9, Anaheim 2; Chicago 7, Edmonton 0; Calgary 2, Detroit 1; and Toronto 4, Vancouver 4. The Penguins won despite being outshot (38-31) for the fifth time in six games, keeping New York score less during a six-shot first-period flurry resulting from a 4-on-3 advantage. They turned Chris Joseph's go-ahead goal in the third period into the victory. Tomas Sandstrom scored the eventual game-winner at 14:35. Jaromir Jagr was held without a point for the first time in 15 games dating to last season, but the Penguins' Ken Wregget again was strong in goal to win his sixth in a row in place of the iryured Tom Barrasso. Wregget stopped 35 shots. "We're not really talking about it, yet we're 6-0," said Barrie, who set up Joseph's pivotal third-period goal that put the Penguins up 3-2 against the visiting iiper job? | |f| '* lirfillt Hi*** tiallengmg ? that allows :e $$$ while | ' i valuable j j skills? : rence Assistant! | ;rence operations.

Whalers goalie Sean Burke continued the fine play that has him among NHL leaders. Burke, who entered Wednesday's game with a 1.63 goals-against average, was unflappable under a barrage of Ottawa shots in the opening period and made the lead stand up the rest of the way. Alexei Yashin scored for Ottawa midway through the third period. Stars 9, Ducks 2 Mike Modano established career highs with six points and four assists to lead Dallas to its first home victory of the season. Trent Klatt and Brent Gilchrist also scored two goals each, and defenseman Grant Ledyard matched his career high with three assists as the Stars (3-2-1) extended their winning streak against Anaheim to four games.

Edmonton has now lost five in a row after opening the season with consecutive wins. Chicago put the game away during a four-minute stretch in the first period when it scored four times, including back-to-back goals from Poulin. Flames 2, Red Wings 1 German Titov's shorthanded goal midway in the third period led Calgary over visiting Detroit. Titov's third goal of the season came at 9:05 of the third when the puck deflected past goalie Chris Osgood off the skate of Red Wings defenseman Mark Howe for a 2-0 lead.
