NATIONAL SPORTS

Elias Pettersson scored the lone goal in the shootout and Nils Hoglander had two goals in regulation as the Vancouver Canucks beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 in N-H-L action. Vancouver is on a three-game winning streak for the first time this season. All three victories have come under Bruce Boudreau, who took over behind the bench after the club fired coach Travis Green and general manager Jim Benning.


Juuse Saros made 29 saves and the Nashville Predators defeated the New Jersey Devils 3-2. The start was the first for Saros after missing the last two games with an undisclosed illness that the team stressed was not COVID-19. New Jersey has lost five of seven, and seven of 10 overall.


Patric Hornqvist and Sam Bennett scored 10 seconds apart in the first period as the Florida Panthers beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-1. Florida’s Sam Reinhard scored in his fourth straight game. Phil Kessel scored on a power play for Arizona.


Gary Trent Junior scored 24 points, Fred VanVleet had 17 points and 11 assists, and the Toronto Raptors beat the New York Knicks 90-87. The Raptors extended their home winning streak over the Knicks to 10 games. Canadian R-J Barret had 19 points for New York.


Giannis Antetokounmpo had 41 points and 17 rebounds, and the Milwaukee Bucks snapped the Houston Rockets’ seven-game winning streak with a 123-114 victory. Houston had been red hot following the 15-game slide that preceded this run. The Rockets led by 10 at one point and hung around until the Bucks pulled away in the fourth.


LeBron James scored 33 points and the Los Angeles Lakers rolled past the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-95. Rookie Tre Mann scored a season-high 19 points for Oklahoma City. Canadian Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who leads the Thunder in scoring, was held to 11 points.
