LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Jonathan Quick finally got his first shutout of the lockout-delayed season in the Los Angeles Kings' 28th game, well off his pace last year when he set a franchise record with 10 en route to winning the Conn Smythe Trophy.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - On the same night Corey Perry spurned free agency and agreed to an eight-year contract extension, the Anaheim Ducks extended the longest home winning streak in franchise history by beating one of their biggest rivals.

SAN FRANCISCO - Fernando Rodney surprised his teammates in the middle of the game when he pulled out a lucky plantain, sent from a family member back home in the Dominican Republic just in time for Monday's World Baseball Classic semifinal.

DENVER - Almost lost in the Chicago Blackhawks' historic points streak was a streak of another kind. This one is still going, too. And this one the Colorado Avalanche couldn't stop, either.

DALLAS - The Dallas Stars could not let this one slip away. Loui Eriksson scored twice and the Stars held on for a 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Monday night.

BOSTON - LeBron James and the Miami Heat escaped Boston with their 23rd win in a row. All that's in front of them now is the NBA record for consecutive victories.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Corey Perry is following Ryan Getzlaf's lead yet again, sticking with the Anaheim Ducks for the long term.

TAMPA, Fla. - Teddy Purcell got a key goal before Steven Stamkos secured the win on a late milestone effort.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Nothing about the first period suggested the New York Rangers were about to snap their three-game losing streak.

PHILADELPHIA - The 76ers' Andrew Bynum gamble was a bust. At least, for this season. Philadelphia now has to decide if it will offer the former All-Star centre any kind of long-term deal without him ever playing a second for the franchise.
