NHL roundup: Islanders fall on Zdeno Chara's record night

Logan Couture scored in regulation and added the lone goal in the shootout as the San Jose Sharks snapped a seven-game losing streak by edging the visiting New York Islanders, 4-3.

New York's Zdeno Chara played in his 1,652nd game, breaking a tie with Chris Chelios for the most games played by a defenseman in NHL history. The 44-year-old veteran saw 16:26 of ice time and also became the oldest player ever to earn a fighting major when he tussled with Jeffrey Viel -- who was born nine months before Chara made his NHL debut in 1997.

The Sharks also received goals from Alexander Barabanov and Jasper Weatherby, and Tomas Hertl had two assists. San Jose goalie James Reimer made 47 saves in regulation and overtime - including 18 in the third period and the extra session -- and he wasn't beaten in the shootout.

Brock Nelson, Zach Parise and Adam Pelech scored for the Islanders, who have lost nine of 14 (5-7-2). Parise's tally was the 400th of his career. New York goalie Ilya Sorokin made 25 saves.

J.T. Miller scored two goals, including one on a penalty shot, and Bo Horvat also scored twice to highlight a five-goal second period as host Vancouver snapped Calgary's franchise-record-tying 10-game winning streak with a blowout victory.

Miller also had two assists, Elias Pettersson had two goals and an assist and Conor Garland also scored for Vancouver, which won for the fourth time in its last five games.

Brock Boeser and Quinn Hughes each added two assists for the Canucks, who closed within three points of Edmonton for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Thatcher Demko finished with 29 saves. Andrew Mangiapane scored for Calgary, which lost for the first time since a 5-1 setback to St. Louis on
