Shesterkin helped the Rangers get their season-high fifth
straight win by stopping red-hot Mitchell Marner three times.
Marner saw his team-record 23-game points streak come to an end.
After scoring the game-winning overtime goal to beat New Jersey
Monday, Filip Chytil scored an early power-play goal in the
first period and Jimmy Vesey netted the tiebreaking goal early
in the second. Vesey also added an empty-net tally in the third
to seal the win while Vincent Trocheck collected two assists.
Michael Bunting scored for Toronto, which took its first
regulation loss since a 4-2 setback at Pittsburgh on Nov. 11.
The Maple Leafs were 12-0-3 since their previous regulation loss
and missed a chance at matching the 2003-04 team record for the
longest points streak in team history.
Kings 3, Bruins 2 (SO)
Trevor Moore scored in the seventh round of the shootout to lift
visiting Los Angeles past Boston.
After each team's first two shootout attempts were successful,
there was not another goal until Moore flicked the deciding
tally over Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark's glove to help the Kings
finish 3-2-1 on their six-game road trip.
Adrian Kempe scored both Kings goals in regulation, including
tying the score with 2:10 remaining in regulation. Taylor Hall
and Brad Marchand scored goals for Boston.
Blues 4, Oilers 3 (SO)
Jordan Kyrou had a goal, two assists and the shootout winner as
visiting St. Louis rallied past Edmonton.
The Blues tied the game 3-3 with a short-handed goal with 20
seconds left in regulation. With goaltender Jordan Binnington
pulled for an extra attacker, the Blues scored 5-on-5 when Kyrou
set up Vladimir Tarasenko in front of the net.
Robert Thomas also scored and Binnington made 24 saves for the
Blues, who won for just the fourth time in their last 12 games.
Zach Hyman, Connor McDavid and Kailer Yamamoto scored for the
Oilers, while Tyson Barrie had three assists.
Jets 2, Predators 1 (OT)
Kyle Connor scored in overtime and host Winnipeg defeated
Nashville.
Connor scored at 3:31 of overtime, when his shot slipped through
Juuse Saros and just creeped over the goal line for his 12th
goal. It was the only mistake, if you could even call it that,
for Saros. The Predators goalie made 39 saves on 41 shots,
including 19 in the second period.
Connor Hellebuyck made 25 saves on 26 shots in the win for
Winnipeg. He wasn't nearly as busy as Saros but had to be just
as efficient. Filip Forsberg scored for Nashville, while Dylan
DeMelo also scored for Winnipeg. The Predators have lost five
straight (0-3-2).
Penguins 4, Panthers 2
Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin each scored a goal and dished an
assist, leading Pittsburgh to its seventh straight win,
defeating Florida in Sunrise, Fla.
Malkin scored his goal when Crosby's blistering wrist shot went
in off his right leg to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead with 11:55
left in the game. Malkin crumpled to the ice and was helped to
the locker room.
The Penguins, who are on a 14-2-2 run, also got two goals from
Jake Guentzel, including an empty-netter. Sidney Crosby added
two assists and Tristan Jarry made 32 saves. Florida got goals
from Ryan Lomberg and Sam Reinhart, and Panthers goalie Sergei
Bobrovsky had 35 saves.
Flyers 2, Devils 1
Carter Hart made 48 saves to help visiting Philadelphia rally
for a win against rival New Jersey in Newark, N.J.
Scott Laughton and Travis Konecny scored and Noah Cates had two
assists for the Flyers, who snapped a four-game losing streak
(0-2-2).
Jack Hughes scored and Vitek Vanecek made 22 saves for the
Devils, who have lost consecutive games in regulation for the
first time dropping their first two of the season. New Jersey is
0-3-1 in its past four.
Stars 2, Capitals 1
Jake Oettinger made 45 saves, and Jamie Benn and Colin Miller
each scored within a 79-second span to give Dallas a road win
over Washington.
With Dallas trailing 1-0 after the second intermission, it took
Benn just 48 seconds into the third period to equalize, pouncing
on a loose puck to score a power-play goal.
Miller then put the Stars ahead at the 2:07 mark. Alex Ovechkin
was scoreless on five shots. With 800 career goals, Ovechkin is
still one goal away from tying Gordie Howe for second place on
the NHL's all-time scoring list.
Lightning 4, Blue Jackets 1
Brandon Hagel had two goals and an assist as Tampa Bay closed
out its longest homestand of the season with a win over
Columbus.
Scoring in his career-high-tying fifth straight game, Brayden
Point notched the game-winning goal in the third period. Hagel
put the game away with a pair of markers in the frame -- the
second into an empty net -- for the Lightning as they won for
the fifth time of the six-game homestand.
The Blue Jackets' Kirill Marchenko scored a goal, and backup
goalie Daniil Tarasov made 25 saves as Columbus lost its second
straight game.
Golden Knights 4, Blackhawks 1
Reilly Smith scored twice and Logan Thompson made 23 saves to
boost visiting Vegas to a victory against Chicago.
Vegas secured a sweep of a two-game road trip against Central
Division opponents while sending the Blackhawks to their fifth
consecutive defeat, being outscored 20-5 during that span.
Chicago fell to 1-12-1 in its past 14 games.
Taylor Raddysh's goal at 16:06 of the third period helped the
Blackhawks avoid their third shutout in the past five games. The
tally wasn't enough, though, as Vegas controlled the tempo and
scored in every period.
Hurricanes 3, Kraken 2
Pyotr Kochetkov won again for Carolina, although his shutout
streak ended during the victory against Seattle at Raleigh, N.C.
Kochetkov was coming off back-to-back shutouts and went a total
of 151 minutes, 26 seconds without allowing a goal. He made 15
saves.
Andrei Svechnikov and Derek Stepan scored in the first period
and Stefan Noesen tallied on a penalty shot in the second as the
Hurricanes won for the seventh time in eight games. Ryan Donato
and Daniel Sprong posted Seattle's goals.
Ducks 5, Canadiens 2
John Klingberg scored two goals for visiting Anaheim in a win
against Montreal.
Adam Henrique and Frank Vatrano each had a goal and an assist,
Troy Terry also scored, and Lukas Dostal made 23 saves for the
Ducks, who came in on a three-game skid in which they were
outscored 16-1. Anaheim had just one win in regulation entering
this game, and had lost their past nine road games (0-6-3).
Cole Caufield scored two third-period goals, and Jake Allen made
27 saves for the Canadiens, who are 2-4-2 in their past eight
games with one win in regulation.
Sabers 4, Avalanche 2
Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin each had a goal and an assist,
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen turned away 39 shots, and Buffalo beat
Colorado in Denver.

assist against his former team. The Sabres won four of their
past six games.
Mikko Rantanen had a goal, Evan Rodrigues scored in his return
after missing nine games, Valeri Nichushkin had two assists and
Alexandar Georgiev had 17 saves for the Avalanche.
