Jeff Carter, Claude Giroux and Kimmo Timonen scored power-play goals for the Flyers, whose 10-2-0 record in January has catapulted them to a league-best 33 victories.

A year ago, the Flyers clinched a playoff spot in the last game of the season. They’ll return next week with a No. 1 seed in the East in sight.

Dan Carcillo and Danny Briere also scored for the Flyers, who earned their 1,000th home victory. They are the first expansion-era team to reach that milestone.

David Desharnais and Mathieu Darche scored for Montreal.

In Columbus, All-Star goalie Jonas Hiller made 35 saves for his NHL-leading 25th win as surging Anaheim held on to beat Columbus.

Teemu Selanne had a goal and an assist, and Cam Fowler and Jason Blake also scored for Anaheim.

Derick Brassard had a goal and an assist and Rick Nash also scored for the Blue Jackets, who entered on a five-game point streak but couldn’t come back from a two-goal deficit for a third straight game.

In Chicago, Antti Miettinen scored the go-ahead goal to lift Minnesota over Chicago.

Miettinen’s goal on a splendid tip-in of Andrew Brunette’s pass broke a 2-2 tie with 3:47 left in the second.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard made it a two-goal lead in the third.

Niklas Backstrom made 31 saves while Chuck Kobasew and Martin Havlat also scored for the Wild.

Chicago’s goals came from Patrick Sharp and Troy Brouwer.

In Tampa, the hosts notched their fifth straight win by downing Toronto.

Dwayne Roloson made 26 saves in his third shutout within 10 games this month since being acquired from the New York Islanders.

Teddy Purcell had a goal and an assist while Simon Gagne also scored for the Southeast Division-leading Lightning.

Purcell has five points in the past two games.

In New York, defenseman Mike Weaver’s first goal in 42 games lifted Florida over New York.

Weaver flipped a shot from the right side that deflected off Artem Anisimov and past surprised goalie Henrik Lundqvist with 8:19 remaining. The Panthers’ only shot of the third salvaged a win for Florida, which squandered a two-goal lead earlier in the period.

It was the second time in the game Anisimov had deflected the puck past his own goalie, doing the same on Rostislav Olesz’s first-period goal.

Keaton Ellerby’s first NHL goal opened the scoring and Mike Santorelli stretched the lead just more than a minute later to give Florida a seemingly comfortable lead.

But Brandon Prust and Brian Boyle scored 1:51 apart early in the third to get the Rangers even at 3-3.

In Phoenix, Edmonton edged Phoenix to end a run of five straight losses.

Taylor Hall scored early in the third period — only Edmonton’s second goal in 54 power-play chances — and Linus Omark scored 72 seconds later to put the Oilers up 3-2.

Phoenix tied it on Scottie Upshall’s second goal, but Edmonton turned up the offensive pressure, setting up Dustin Penner’s winner with only 21 seconds left.

Jean-Francois Jacques also scored for the Oilers, while Kyle Turris netted for Phoenix.

In Pittsburgh, the hosts snuck past New York despite the ongoing absence of injured stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

Marc-Andre Fleury made 29 saves for his second shutout of the season and Craig Adams scored the sole goal in the third period.

The Penguins have won five of six — all without Crosby (concussion), and the most recent three without Malkin (knee, sinus infection).

Pittsburgh has won 10 consecutive home games against New York.

In Ottawa, Shaone Morrisonn scored his first goal of the season 1:59 into overtime to give Buffalo victory over Ottawa.

Ryan Miller stopped 27 shots for Buffalo, who moved within four points of a playoff spot.

Ottawa’s Chris Kelly opened the scoring, but Paul Byron got his first NHL goal midway through the first and Jochen Hecht scored later in the opening period to put the Sabres ahead.

Sergei Gonchar equalized in the third for the Senators, who have lost seven straight home games — their worst such skid in 15 years.
