NHL games

[November 12, 2016] Nov 11 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of National Hockey League games on Friday:

Capitals 3, Blackhawks 2 (OT)

Jay Beagle scored twice and Marcus Johansson scored in overtime as the Washington Capitals snapped the Chicago Blackhawks' seven-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory.

Johansson's game-winner sailed over the shoulder of Corey Crawford after Marian Hossa forced overtime with a goal with 22 seconds remaining in regulation and with the Blackhawks skating with a one-man advantage.

Hossa tapped in an Artemi Panarin shot, which slid through the legs of Capitals defenseman John Carlson and found its way onto Hossa's stick.

Braden Holtby made 32 saves and made Beagle's two first-period goals stand up for Washington.

Devils 2, Sabres 1 (OT)

Andy Greene scored on a penalty shot 29 seconds into overtime to lead the New Jersey Devils to a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres.

The penalty shot came after Greene was obstructed by Sabres left winger Evander Kane on a partial breakaway. Green skated to his right before cutting inside and firing a wrist shot that went through Buffalo goaltender Anders Nilsson's legs.

Yohann Auvitu scored in regulation for New Jersey, while Keith Kinkaid made 25 saves.

Matt Moulson scored in regulation for Buffalo. Anders Nilsson made 41 saves.

Maple Leafs 6, Flyers 3

The Toronto Maple Leafs came back with four straight goals in the third period to defeat the Philadelphia Flyers.

Zach Hyman gave Toronto the lead before Leo Komarov added an unassisted short-handed goal at 11:32 of the third period to give Toronto a two-goal lead and Mitch Marner scored on a power play late in the game.

Nazem Kadri, Morgan Rielly and Martin Marincin also scored for the Maple Leafs.

Wayne Simmonds scored twice and Travis Konecny also scored for the Flyers.

Senators 2, Kings 1

The Ottawa Senators scored twice in the final 3:54 to defeat the Los Angeles Kings.

Winger Zack Smith started the comeback with just under four minutes left.

Goalie Craig Anderson stopped 32 shots to pick up his seventh win of the season.

Kings goalie Jeff Zatkoff played the first two periods, stopping all 18 shots he faced before being replaced by Budaj to begin the third period. Budaj stopped 13 shots.

Stars 3, Oilers 2

Antoine Roussel scored the game winner as the Dallas Stars emerged with a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

Lauri Korpikoski and Patrick Eaves got the other goals for the Stars, while Patrick Maroon and Tyler Pitlick scored in response for the Oilers.

Avalanche 3, Jets 2 (OT)

Rene Bourque was credited with his second goal after Nikolaj Ehlers shot the puck into his own net 1:23 into overtime, lifting the Colorado Avalanche to a 3-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets.

The Avalanche controlled the puck for much of overtime, but it was the Jets who beat themselves. Ehlers had the puck along the boards and backhanded it toward his own net and between the legs of goaltender Michael Hutchinson.

Bourque got credit for the goal because he was the last Colorado player to touch the puck.

Mikko Rantanen scored his first NHL goal and Semyon Varlamov stopped 16 shots for Colorado.
