Pittsburgh rookie Shawn McEachern had two goals and an assist and Mario Lemieux added a goal and two assists Tuesday night to lead the Penguins to a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota North Stars at Bloomington, Minn.
Lemieux increased his NHL-leading total in goals to 22 and in points to 48. He scored an empty-net goal with 1:21 left, and has been held without a goal only once this season. He has had at least two points in 15 of Pittsburgh’s 17 games.
Edmonton 4, St. Louis 4--Dave Manson’s shorthanded goal with 6:31 left to play lifted the Oilers to a tie at St. Louis. Goals by Rich Sutter and Kevin Miller helped the Blues take a 4-3 lead with 12:55 remaining, but they could not hold it. Manson picked up a loose puck at center ice and skated in untouched before beating goalie Curtis Joseph.
Vancouver 6, San Jose 2--Pavel Bure scored two first-period goals as the Canucks routed the Sharks at Vancouver. The Canucks built a 6-0 lead by 7:51 of the second period and held on to win their eighth game of the season.
