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

The Penguins are 4-0 in one-goal games. The
Rangers, meanwhile, are 0-4.
Whalers 2, Senators 1
Robert Kron and Frantisek Kucera scored in the
first period as Hartford won at Ottawa. Both of the
Whalers' victories (2-2-2) have come at the expense of
the Senators (0-4-2).
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.

Attendance was announced at 10,497, but the
16,600-seat Edmonton Coliseum was half-empty for
the Blackhawks' humiliation of the struggling Oilers.
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.
Sergei Fedorov cut the lead to one with 11 seconds
left with his fourth goal of the season. Phil Housle/s
third of the season gave the Flames a 1-0 lead at 17:53
of the second period.
Maple Leafs 4, Canucks 4
Toronto staged a furious third-period rally on goals
by Mike Craig, Mike Gartner and Mike Ridley to pull
out a tie at Vancouver.
Dmitri Mironov scored the other Toronto goal in
the first period as the Maple Leafs stretched their unbeaten
string to three games.
Ridley got the tying goal at 15:07 of the third when
he poked a loose puck over Canucks goalie Kirk McLean
after a glaring defensive error by Jiri Slegr.
Geoff Courtnall scored twice for Vancouver in a
three-goal second period that gave the Canucks a 4-l!
