NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Pekka Rinne made 30 saves for his second shutout of the season as Nashville blanked Carolina to finish the regular season.

Rinne tied Tom Barrasso for No. 19 in NHL history with his 369th victory in his first start since April 10. Now 38 and in the final year of his contract, Rinne notched his 60th career shutout in what might have been his final start for Nashville as fans chanted his name early and often.

LIGHTNING 0

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Chris Driedger stopped 30 shots to record his third shutout of the season, Juho Lammikko scored a short-handed goal, and Florida secured home-ice advantage for the opening round of the playoffs.

The Lightning opened the game with the first all-Black line in NHL history — Mathieu Joseph, Gemel Smith and Daniel Walcott..

FLYERS 4, DEVILS 2

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Farabee scored two goals and James van Riemsdyk added one on the power play to lead Philadelphia.

The Flyers finished yet another season without a Stanley Cup — they haven’t won one since consecutive championships in 1974 and 1975 — and this ends as one of the more disheartening ones in franchise history.
