Logan Thompson's bid for a second straight shutout was thwarted
at 10:44 of the third period as Seattle's Alex Wennberg took a
drop pass from Jared McCann and beat the screened goaltender
from the slot. Thompson made 26 saves.
Shea Theodore also scored and Jonathan Marchessault and William
Karlsson added empty-netters for Vegas, which swept the two-game
series in Seattle and won its fourth in a row overall. The
Golden Knights moved past the Dallas Stars and into the second
and final wild-card position in the Western Conference.
Kole Lind scored his first NHL goal for the Kraken, and Philipp
Grubauer stopped 21 of the 24 shots he faced.
Lightning 5, Blackhawks 2
Tampa Bay's Ross Colton scored twice in a three-point night,
including the go-ahead tally, as Tampa Bay won its fourth
straight game by beating visiting Chicago.
Steven Stamkos and Brayden Point each added a goal and an
assist. Nick Paul had three assists and Nikita Kucherov had two
assists for the Lightning.
Traded by Chicago to the Lightning last month, Brandon Hagel
scored into an empty net on Colton's assist with 19 seconds
remaining. The visitors got goals from Calvin de Haan and Alex
DeBrincat.
Sabers 4, Predators 3
Victor Olofsson's power-play goal in the second period gave
Buffalo a lead it wouldn't relinquish in a victory over visiting
Nashville.
Buffalo is on an eight-game point streak, with all eight of
those games decided by a single goal. The Predators had their
two-game winning streak end, missing a chance to solidify their
bid for a playoff spot. Nashville still holds the top Western
Conference wild-card position.
Buffalo's Tage Thompson scored his 29th and 30th goals of the
season, reaching the 30-goal plateau for the first time in his
five NHL seasons. Filip Forsberg, Michael McCarron and Jeremy
Lauzon all scored for Nashville.
Islanders 3, Rangers 0
Mathew Barzal collected a goal and an assist, Semyon Varlamov
made 27 saves and the visiting Islanders scored early in each
period in a victory over the Rangers.
Barzal scored for the second straight game after going without a
goal in 15 straight games. He helped the Islanders beat the
Rangers for the second time in two weeks and get their third
straight win overall.
Casey Cizikas and Matt Martin also scored for the Islanders, who
improved to 11-4-1 in their past 16 games.
Senators 5, Red Wings 2
Mathieu Joseph scored his first career hat trick and also had an
assist to lead Ottawa to a victory over host Detroit.
Josh Norris and Austin Watson also scored goals and Mads Sogaard
finished with 27 saves in his NHL debut for Ottawa, which
snapped a two-game losing streak.
Lucas Raymond scored two goals and Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 27
of 31 shots for Detroit, which lost its fifth straight game.
Oilers 6, Blues 5 (OT)
Connor McDavid scored his second goal of the game in overtime to
give Edmonton its ninth consecutive home victory, a decision
against St. Louis.
Seconds after the Blues couldn't convert a golden chance,
McDavid finished a two-on-one rush with Leon Draisaitl for the
winner 71 seconds into overtime, his 39th goal of the season.
Zach Hyman also tallied twice, Evander Kane collected one goal
and two assists and Darnell Nurse also scored for the Oilers.
Mike Smith made 31 saves.

Barbashev both collected one goal and one assist and Brayden

goal and allowed four goals on 13 shots. Ville Husso stopped 25
of 27 shots in relief.
Ducks 5, Coyotes 0

an 11-game losing streak with a win at Glendale, Ariz. Anthony
Stolarz made 22 saves for his third shutout of the season.
Cam Fowler had a goal and an assist, Trevor Zegras scored
another lacrosse-style goal, Gerry Mayhew contributed a goal and

their previous 11 games.

who are 1-6-1 in their past eight games.
