The winning goal was set up by 19-year-old
rookie Elias Pettersson, who led the Canucks with two goals and
three assists. Pettersson's second goal came in the final minute
of regulation and forced overtime. The two-goal effort was his
second of the week and third in nine career NHL contests.
The injury-riddled Canucks posted their third straight win,
while the Avalanche suffered their third consecutive loss.
Brock Boeser also scored twice and added two assists for the
Canucks, and Loui Eriksson and Markus Granlund tallied the other
Vancouver goals. Nathan MacKinnon led the Avs with two goals and
an assist, while Alex Kerfoot provided a goal and an assist.
Coyotes 4, Hurricanes 3 (OT)
Michael Grabner scored 1:17 into overtime, and Arizona ran its
winning streak to five games with a victory over Carolina at
Glendale, Ariz.
Brad Richardson scored his league-leading third short-handed
goal for the Coyotes, who became the sixth team in league
history to score a short-handed goal in four straight games.
They have seven short-handed goals, six in the last four games.
Arizona's Brendan Perlini and Nick Cousins also scored, and Alex
Goligoski had three assists. Antti Raanta made a season-high 48
saves for the Coyotes, who had not won five in a row since the
2013-14 season. Jordan Martinook, Andrei Svechnikov and Jordan
Staal scored for the Hurricanes, who have lost six of eight.
Panthers 4, Jets 2
Goalie Roberto Luongo, who had not played since the season
opener because of a knee injury, returned to action and led
Florida to a win over Winnipeg at Helsinki, Finland.
Luongo made 32 saves as the teams split two games in Finland as
part of the NHL's Global Series. This was Florida's first win in
regulation this season, and the Panthers went 3-for-5 on their
power plays.
Winnipeg star Patrik Laine, a native of Finland, scored three
goals in the Jets' 4-2 win over Florida on Thursday and added a
fourth tally in roughly 24 hours on Friday. Nikolaj Ehlers also
scored for Winnipeg.
