ATLANTA - Mike Ribeiro scored with 101/2 minutes left when a Thrasher inadvertently knocked the puck into his own net, giving Montreal a 2-1 victory over slumping Atlanta on Wednesday night.
Pierre Dagenais scored for Montreal at 4:49 of the second, and Atlanta tied with 11:30 left when Randy Robitaille deflected in a shot from the blue line by Garnet Exelby.
Just 58 seconds later, Ribeiro got tripped by Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre but managed to put the puck on net. Byron Dafoe made the save, but defenseman Ivan Majesky knocked the puck in with his right glove after running into the goalie.
Montreal won for the sixth time in seven games, getting 36 saves from Jose Theodore.
Marc Savard, who just returned to the Thrashers lineup, left in the second after spraining his right knee.
CAPITALS 3, FLAMES 3: Jaromir Jagr scored with 0.8 seconds left in regulation for host Washington.
Jagr was behind the goal line when he desperately flung the puck toward the net. It hit goaltender Jamie McLennan's body and deflected in for the sixth goal in a wild six-minute stretch that enlivened a game which appeared headed for a scoreless tie.
Trent Whitfield scored his first of the season for the Capitals, then Matthew Lombardi and Oleg Saprykin scored 29 seconds apart to give the Flames the lead. Sergei Gonchar tied it at 2 on a power-play goal with one minute remaining. Jarome Iginla punched in the puck from the right of the crease with 38 seconds left to put the Flames back ahead. Then Jagr scored.
RED WINGS 4, BLACKHAWKS 2: Niklas Kronwall scored his first goal for host Detroit. Jason Woolley, Ray Whitney and Nicklas Lidstrom also scored for the Wings, who led 2-1 after the first period. Kyle Calder and Tyler Arnason scored for Chicago.
KINGS 2, WILD 2: Dwayne Roloson made 44 saves, and Andrew Brunette scored a power-play goal in yet another tie for host Minnesota. The Wild, the only team without an overtime decision, leads the league with 13 ties. Los Angeles hasn't won in 13 (0-3-9-1).
FLYERS: Forward Jeremy Roenick was suspended for one game by the league for throwing a water bottle at referee Blaine Angus.
STARS: The cost of more than 2,000 season tickets were drastically reduced, and the prices of other seats were lowered for next season, partly due to anticipated changes in the league's economic structure. Various-level seats were reduced from $90 to $65, $60 to $34 and $34 to $20.
