Big third period lifts Carolina
Alexander Semin netted his 200th NHL goal and Jiri Tlusty scored twice and had two assists for the Carolina Hurricanes, who scored four third-period goals and overcame three deficits and a poor night of penalty-killing to send the New York Islanders to their fifth straight loss, 6-4, on Monday in Uniondale, N.Y.

Jackets wallop Sharks
Brandon Dubinsky had a goal and an assist and the Columbus Blue Jackets had their biggest offensive output of the season against the NHL's stingiest defense in a 6-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks in Columbus, Ohio.
The Sharks have lost five in a row after a 7-0 start.
No suspension
The NHL did not suspend Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski for allegedly biting an opposing player in Saturday's game against Montreal.
The league said Monday there was no conclusive evidence that Grabovski bit Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty.
Pacioretty said he got a precautionary tetanus shot after the incident in Toronto's 6-0 victory.
April 25 date
The snowed-out game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins in Boston has been rescheduled for April 25.
The game was originally to be played on Saturday, but snow forced the cancellation.
