NHL roundup: Letang, Pens edge Isles in OT

NEW YORK -- Kris Letang scored 1:24 into overtime Friday night as the Pittsburgh Penguins came back to edge the New York Islanders 3-2 at Barclays Center.

Letang's goal was set up by an impressive pass by Sidney Crosby, who deked Brock Nelson and Shane Prince to the right of the Islanders' net and passed to Letang, who fired the puck into a wide open net as New York goalie Jaroslav Halak was stuck leaning in the other direction.

Crosby and Trevor Daley also scored for the Penguins, who bounced back from a 7-1 loss to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night. Goalie Matt Murray made 20 saves.

Brock Nelson and Anthony Beauvillier scored within less than a minute of each other in the second for the Islanders, who have lost four straight and seven of eight. Halak recorded 32 saves.

Blackhawks 3, Flames 2

CALGARY, Alberta -- Marian Hossa's goal with just 2:23 left in the third period lifted Chicago over Calgary.

Hossa crashed the crease and tapped the puck across the line out of mid-air after Artemi Panarin directed a shot at the Calgary goal that bounced off Flames goalie Chad Johnson. Ryan Hartman and Brent Seabrook also scored for Chicago.

Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan each had a goal and an assist for the Flames and Troy Brouwer contributed two assists.

Blue Jackets 4, Rangers 2

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Columbus set a club record with their seventh consecutive home win, beating New York in Nationwide Arena.

The Blue Jackets scored the go-ahead goal short-handed at 11:35 of the third period. Matt Calvert, who left blood on the ice earlier in the game after taking a puck to the forehead, found the net while teammate David Savard was in the penalty box for cross-checking. Sam Gagner and William Karlsson also scored and Boone Jenner added an empty-net goal.

Mika Zibanejad and Michael Grabner scored for the Rangers.

Capitals 1, Red Wings 0

WASHINGTON -- Jay Beagle scored with 5:11 left in the game, Braden Holtby stopped 25 shots, and Washington defeated Detroit.

Just moments after Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard made a nice save on Beagle in front of the net, Beagle swiped in the rebound of a Dmitry Orlov shot for his fourth goal of the season.

Braden Holtby picked up his first shutout of the season and 24th of his career.

Hurricanes 3, Canadiens 2

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Jeff Skinner, Teuvo Teravainen and Victor Rask scored less than six minutes apart in the third period as Carolina rallied past Montreal.

Ron Hainsey assisted on the first two Carolina goals with shots from the point as the Hurricanes won their third straight. Cam Ward stopped 31 shots to improve to 4-1-2 in November.

Andrew Shaw and Jeff Petry scored for the Canadiens.
