Jets maul Phoenix for new coach’s first win

Paul Maurice won his first game as Winnipeg’s new coach as the Jets beat Phoenix 5-1.

Hired on Sunday to replace fired Claude Noel as head coach of the floundering club, Winnipeg bounced back after having lost its previous five games.

Defenseman Jack Johnson scored on a power-play point shot with 2:38 remaining, completing the Columbus Blue Jackets’ rally for a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The win was the fourth straight for Columbus, a season high.

Mikael Backlund and rookie center Sean Monahan scored, and journeyman goalie Karri Ramo recorded his first career shutout as the Calgary Flames defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 2-0.

Dustin Brown scored the lone goal, and goaltender Jonathan Quick made 28 saves as the Los Angeles Kings beat the Vancouver Canucks 1-0.

Los Angeles (28-14-5) finished its five-game homestand with a 3-1-1 record, but it won for only the third time in 10 games.
