DETROIT – Brett Hull tied Dave Andreychuk’s NHL record with his 263rd career power-play goal and Kris Draper scored twice to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday night.

Hull scored on a one-timer – the same way he has netted countless goals – to give Detroit a 2-0 lead in the second period.

Three goals were scored midway through the third period in a span of just over three minutes.

Phoenix’s Chris Gratton had a goal, then Detroit’s Mathieu Schneider scored before Fredrik Sjostrom got the Coyotes within 3-2.

Draper gave Detroit another two-goal cushion when his slap shot trickled past Brian Boucher with 1:50 left. Draper added an empty-netter a minute later for his 23rd goal of the season.

Detroit’s Manny Legace made 24 saves. Boucher stopped 29 shots.

The Central Division-leading Red Wings are 6-1-2 in their last nine games while Phoenix is 1-9-1 in its last 11.

Playing his third position in three games, Detroit’s Mathieu Dandenault scored midway through the first period. He was back at defense after playing center and wing in the two previous games.

Hull’s goal came from the right circle off a pass from Henrik Zetterberg. He has 21 goals, eight on power plays, this season. Andreychuk has scored three power-play goals this season for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who did not play Wednesday.

Panthers 1, Sabres 1

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Roberto Luongo stopped 41 shots, allowing the Florida Panthers to rally for a 1-1 tie against the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night.

Marcus Nilson scored during a scramble in front with 10:27 remaining in regulation to force the tie as the Panthers snapped a two-game losing streak. Florida also moved into 10th place in the East, a point ahead of idle Atlanta.

Tough guy Eric Boulton snapped a 54-game scoring slump, scoring for Buffalo, which had a four-game winning streak end.

The ninth-place Sabres are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games, and are within three points of Montreal in the race for the conference’s eighth and final playoff berth.

After combining for 21 goals in three games, the Sabres’ best offensive surge in more than 10 years, Buffalo came up short against one of the NHL’s top goalies.

Luongo, fourth in the NHL with a 93.1 save percentage, was particularly sharp in the second period when he stopped all 22 shots directed at him.

His effort was rewarded by Nilson’s goal, which came just after the Sabres killed off a high-sticking penalty to Alexei Zhitnik.

After Buffalo goaltender Mika Noronen dived across the crease to foil Kristian Huselius, the rebound dribbled into the slot where Sabres forward Taylor Pyatt failed to clear it.

Nilson got to the puck and snapped it past Noronen, who had slid out of position.

Boulton opened the scoring 4:17 in on Buffalo’s fourth shot.

Taking Adam Mair’s soft feed off the boards, Boulton cut up the left side and got off a bad-angle shot that Luongo stopped with his right pad. The rebound went directly back to Boulton, who slapped it in off of Luongo’s arm.

It was Boulton’s first goal since last Feb. 21, and the fifth of his career.

Luongo took over from there.

His best stops came during a Sabres power play with four minutes left in the second period.

Luongo lost his stick but used his right arm to stop Chris Drury from the doorstep. The rebound came back to Dmitri Kalinin at the point, who fired a shot that Luongo deflected with his blocker.

Islanders 4, Penguins 3

UNIONDALE, N.Y. – Mariusz Czerkawski scored a pair of power-play goals, and Garth Snow stopped 18 shots as the New York Islanders held on for a 4-3 victory over Pittsburgh on Wednesday night that sent the Penguins to their 16th straight loss.

Since the Penguins lost in overtime on Saturday to St. Louis, their official losing streak ended at 13 games. The NHL record of 17 consecutive losses held by the 1974-75 Capitals and the 1992-1993 Sharks isn’t in danger.

Roman Hamrlik and Kenny Jonsson also scored for the Islanders, 20-8-2 at home. The Islanders moved into sole possession of seventh place in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of Montreal.

Tomas Surovy, Ric Jackman and Milan Kraft scored for the Penguins, who haven’t won since beating Philadelphia on Jan. 12. Since then, Pittsburgh is 0-15-0-1.

Andy Chiodo made his first NHL start in goal for the Penguins and stopped 30 shots.

The Islanders scored the only goal of the opening period while on a power play at 14:57, as Czerkawski’s sharp angle shot from the right circle hit the left post, bounced off Chiodo’s backside, and dropped in.

The Penguins only recorded four shots on Snow, one in the last 13 minutes of the period.

Surovy tied it at 6:54 of the second period as his slap shot from the upper right circle beat Snow just under the crossbar.

Pittsburgh grabbed the lead at 14:48 when Jackman’s low left point slap shot beat Snow to the short side.

Czerkawski got the Islanders even at 2 with his second power-play goal of the game. He deflected Kenny Jonsson’s point shot, which just tucked inside the right corner with just 12.3 seconds left in the period.

Czerkawski, with 21 goals, is second on the Islanders to rookie Trent Hunter’s 22.

The Islanders took the lead for good on their only even-strength goal, as Hamrlik sneaked in from the point to one-time Michael Peca’s pass past Chiodo at 2:53 of the third. Jonsson made it 4-2 at 6:29 with another power-play goal.

Kraft wristed a loose puck that popped out of a goal-mouth scramble past Snow to make it 4-3 at 11:25.
