Martin Hanzal had two goals and an assist, and the host Phoenix Coyotes won for the third time in four games with a 5-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. . . . Nick Bonino and Corey Perry scored in the shootout to give the Anaheim Ducks a 3-2 win over the host Nashville Predators. The win was Anaheim's fourth straight.

The Detroit Red Wings put forward Johan Franzen on injured reserve and removed goaltender Jonas Gustavsson from IR and assigned him to Grand Rapids of the AHL.
