Matthew Tkachuk certainly looks like an NHLer.

The Calgary Flames rookie showed off his speed and skill Thursday night against the San Jose Sharks, taking a feed from Michael Frolik and fooling goaltender Martin Jones for his second goal of the game.

Tkachuk's goal held up as the game-winner in a 3-2 victory.

It came mere hours after the Flames announced they were keeping the 18-year-old for his 10th game of the season, thus burning the first-year of his entry-level contract.

Scoring is suddenly a lost art for the Vancouver Canucks.

The Ottawa Senators defeated Willie Desjardins' club 1-0 on Thursday night, handing the Canucks their seventh consecutive loss.

It was the fourth time in the last five games and second time in as many nights that Vancouver failed to register a single goal.

The Canucks lost 3-0 to the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night, following a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Washington Capitals last Saturday. The scorless drought began with losses to the Senators and the Edmonton Oilers last week.

Vancouver became the first team in NHL history to open a season with three straight wins while never leading in regulation.

Marian Hossa continues to etch his name in the record books.

The Chicago Blackhawks forward scored twice in a 4-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night, passing Peter Bondra to become the top-scoring Slovakian-born player in league history.

Hossa tied Bondra with his 503rd career goal to make it 2-0 late in the first period, then surpassed the former Washington Capitals star with his 504th career marker less than a minute into the second period.

The 37-year-old became the 44th player to score 500 career goals when he accomplished the feat during a game against the Philadelphia Flyers last month.

Hossa needed 1,246 games to surpass Bondra, who only required 1,081 to score 503.

DALLAS - Tyler Seguin assisted on Dallas' first four goals to help the Stars beat the St. Louis Blues 6-2 on Thursday night.

John Klingberg had two goals for the Stars, including an empty-netter. Patrick Eaves, Stephen Johns, Jason Spezza and Jordie Benn also scored for Dallas. Jamie Benn had three assists.

Paul Stastny and captain Alex Pietrangelo scored for St. Louis.

Stars goalie Antti Niemi made 28 saves. Jake Allen had 21 for the Blues.

Eaves broke a scoreless tie at 6:35 of the second period. St. Louis tied it on Stastny's goal at 11:26, but Dallas took a 2-1 lead 31 seconds later on Klingberg's first of the season.

Pietrangelo scored at 10:27 of the third. He and Stastny each had a goal and an assist.

In the first period, each team had eight shots on goal. Four of St. Louis' shots came in less than 2 minutes, beginning with Carl Gunnarsson's attempt at 12:34.

The Blues killed the only penalty in the first, against Alexander Steen for hooking at 3:31.

In the second period, Dallas scored when Eaves skated in front of the net as Seguin arrived from the right faceoff circle. Eaves deflected the puck off his body and over Allen.

St. Louis scored its first goal when the puck went off Spezza in front to Stastny, who beat Niemi from short range.

Seguin set up Benn for a scoring chance, but Allen stopped his shot. Benn gathered in the puck and passed out to Klingberg at the right faceoff dot. His shot went past Allen into the upper left corner.

NOTES: It was the first regular-season game between the teams since St. Louis beat the Stars 6-1 in the deciding seventh game of a Western Conference semifinal playoff series last season. Play between the Central Division rivals became chippy, with two fights in the second period and coincidental minor penalties for roughing in the third. . The Blues had scored only three goals in their previous four games. St. Louis entered the game ranked 16th in the NHL in shots on goal per game, but 28th in goals per game. Seguin's previous four-assist game was on Oct. 18, 2014, against Philadelphia. He has seven points (three goals, four assists) in the last five games.

Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice didn't hold back when asked about the too many men call that led to Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin's game-winner in overtime Thursday.

Watch: Ovechkin blasts OT winner to ground Jets

"It was horseshit, so that would be hard to swallow," Maurice told reporters postgame.

The coach singled out one official in particular.

"I can't blame the referees on it because the linesman called it, which is important that he involved himself in the game at that point. I don't think it was too many men on the ice, I don't even think it was that close."

The Jets were penalized while making a line change with 2:39 remaining in overtime, and Ovechkin won the game one minute later.

Winnipeg erased a three-goal third-period deficit to tie the game on Marko Dano's first of the season midway through the frame.

Mitch Marner scored a pair of goals in Thursday's game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres.

Grabbing the puck in front of the net, set up by James van Riemsdyk, Marner then cut through four Buffalo skaters to bury his second of the night.
