Nashville: Corey Perry, Matt Beleskey and Kyle Palmieri staked Anaheim to a big lead and the Ducks held on for their 19th straight home victory against Calgary.

The Flames haven’t won in Anaheim since January 19, 2004. Only three players who played for Calgary in that game are active in the NHL.

Jonas Hiller, who spent his first seven NHL seasons with Anaheim before signing with Calgary in July, stopped 29 shots in his return.

The Flames, coming off a 4-1 homestand that included shootout wins over the Ducks and New Jersey Devils, spoiled Frederik Andersen’s shutout bid with 8:58 remaining when T.J. Brodie beat him with a screened slap shot.

Jiri Hudler made it 3-2 with 25.4 seconds to play after Hiller was pulled for an extra skater. Andersen made 32 saves.

James Neal scored the only goal of a six-round shootout to give the Nashville Predators a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.

Craig Smith, Ryan Ellis and Eric Nystrom scored in regulation for Nashville. In the shootout, Neal beat Martin Jones with a wrist shot between the pads.

Pekka Rinne made 18 saves in regulation and overtime, and then stopped all six Kings shooters in the tiebreaker.

Jamie McBain, Marian Gaborik, and Drew Doughty scored for Los Angeles, which has lost two straight.

Daniel Briere scored 3:16 into overtime, helping the Avalanche complete a comeback from three goals down to get the road win.

Briere got help from the Coyotes’ Martin Hanzal, who backhanded Briere’s pass past his own goalie, Mike Smith.

Colorado (8-9-5) won for the fourth time in five games after a goalie change in the first period. Arizona (9-11-3) absorbed another late-game home loss.

The Avalanche tied it at 3 when Matt Duchene’s pass from behind the net went off the stick of Coyotes forward Lauri Korpikoski and squeezed past Smith at 4:05 of the third period.

Ryan Miller made 20 saves for his second shutout of the season, helping the Canucks beat New Jersey.

Alex Burrows and Shawn Matthias scored for the Canucks, who have won three of four.

Cory Schneider stopped 34 shots, but the Devils lost for the fourth time in five games.
