Valiquette had 31 saves and the Rangers beat the Flyers for the 11th time in 12 games in Philly with a 2-0 victory. Valiquette's only other career shutout came Jan. 31 in Philly. In other NHL action:

Evgeni Malkin recorded his fourth straight multiple-point game with two goals and an assist to lead the Sidney Crosby-less Pittsburgh Penguins past the Los Angeles Kings 4-2.
Nik Antropov scored off a deflection 62 seconds into overtime to lift the lowly Toronto Maple Leafs past the mighty Detroit Red Wings, 3-2.
