Mikael Samuelsson and Johan Franzen also scored for Detroit, which has won five of six. Henrik Zetterberg added two assists for the defending champions.

Dwayne Roloson stopped 37 shots for Edmonton.

Kronwall had a power-play goal in the first and Detroit added two more in the second before Franzen got his ninth goal with 9:56 left in the game.

- Rangers 2, Senators 1 (SO): At New York, Nikolai Zherdev scored the only goal in a shootout and New York's Henrik Lundqvist denied all three Ottawa shooters.

The Rangers opted to shoot first and Zherdev beat Alex Auld between the pads. That left it up to Lundqvist to stop Jason Spezza, Jarko Ruutu and Antoine Vermette for his NHL-leading 12th win.

- Islanders 2, Canucks 1 (SO): At Uniondale, N.Y., Roberto Luongo made 34 saves against the team that let him get away, but couldn't stop Frans Nielsen in a shootout as New York beat Vancouver for its season-best third straight victory.

Nielsen scored on the first shot of the tiebreaker, and Joey MacDonald turned aside all three Canucks shooters -- ending the game with a poke check against Alex Burrows. MacDonald stopped 31 shots through overtime.

- Sharks 4, Predators 1: At Nashville, Tenn., Devin Setoguchi had a power-play goal and an assist to help San Jose.

Jody Shelley, Tomas Plihal and Patrick Marleau also scored for the Sharks, who jumped to a 2-0 lead with two goals in a span of 1 1/2 minutes during the first period.

- Bruins 3, Maple Leafs 2: At Toronto, Michael Ryder, Phil Kessel and Matt Hunwick scored, leading Boston past Toronto.

Marc Savard and Milan Lucic each added two assists for the Northeast Division-leading Bruins, who handed Toronto a loss in its return from a weeklong road trip.
