Highlights from Sunday's NHL games

[November 28, 2016] Nov 27 (The Sports Xchange)

Bruins 4, Lightning 1

Jimmy Hayes notched his first goal and first point in 36 games and Tuukka Rask came within 2:39 of a shutout to help the Boston Bruins end a three-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday.

Hayes redirected a David Krejci pass past Ben Bishop to cap a three-goal second period for the Bruins, who had scored four goals during the losing streak.

Rask stopped 30 Tampa Bay shots until Victor Hedman deflected in a pass off the skate Boston's Colin Miller to end what would have been Rask's fourth shutout of the season.

Dominic Moore and David Backes scored the first two Boston goals.

Jets 3, Predators 0

Winnipeg woke up in the second period and it was enough to snap a five-game losing streak. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 42 shots in posting the shutout, his second of the season and fourth of his young career.

Hellebuyck blocked 20 shots in the third period, many of them from point-blank range.

The Jets gave the fans reason to make noise when Drew Stafford picked up a rebound from Jacob Trouba and wheeled around the net to stuff the puck behind Predators goalie Juuse Saros for his first of the season at 15:21 of the second period.

Winnipeg's Mark Scheifele put the game out of reach with his 12th goal of the season into an empty net at 19:18 of the third period. Adam Lowry followed 32 seconds later with his sixth of the season with the Predators' net still empty.

Hurricanes 3, Panthers 2

Michael Leighton won his first NHL game in almost six years as Carolina used a big second period to rally past Florida at PNC Arena.

Viktor Stalberg, Jeff Skinner and Derek Ryan scored in a productive span early in the second period as the Hurricanes won their fifth home game in a row.

Coyotes 2, Oilers 1

Jamie McGinn scored the winning goal with 3:44 left in regulation as Arizona continued its mastery over Edmonton.

The victory extended the Coyotes' run of success against Edmonton to 25-straight games without a loss in regulation (21-0-4).

Senators 2, Rangers 0

Craig Anderson made 33 saves as Ottawa defeated New York at Madison Square Garden.

Jean-Gabriel Pagueau and Mark Stone scored for the Senators, who have won four straight. Antti Raanta made 18 saves for the Rangers, who have lost four of six and four straight at home.

Flyers 5, Flames 3

Anthony Stolarz allowed a goal on just the second shot he faced but settled down to stop 29-of-32 shots in Philadelphia's win over Calgary at the Wells Fargo Center.

Jakub Voracek, Wayne Simmonds and rookie Roman Lyubimov each picked up a goal and an assist for the Flyers, and Michael Raffl and Chris VandeVelde also netted goals as Philadelphia halted a two-game losing streak.
