Robertson's back-to-back hat tricks give him eight tallies in
his last five games. He became the fourth active NHL player to
score three or more goals in consecutive games -- along with
Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin, the Florida Panthers'
Noel Acciari and the Nashville Predators' Filip Forsberg.
Joe Pavelski and captain Jamie Benn each collected a goal and an
assist, and Minnesota native Riley Tufte netted his first career
NHL goal for the Stars, who have won four in a row. Roope Hintz
and defenseman John Klingberg each notched a pair of assists as
Dallas improved to 14-4-1 in its last 19 games.
Kirill Kaprizov scored twice in a 1:44 stretch late in the third
period and Nico Sturm also tallied for the Wild, who have
dropped eight of their last 10 games after a scintillating
11-1-1 run.
Devils 3, Blues 2 (OT)
Dougie Hamilton scored the overtime winner to lift New Jersey
past St. Louis in Newark, N.J.
Ty Smith and Dawson Mercer also scored for the Devils and Jack
Hughes had two assists. Nico Daws made 19 saves to earn the
victory.
Torey Krug and Jordan Kyrou each scored in the third period and
Vladimir Tarasenko had two assists for the Blues, who are
winless (0-2-1) in their last three games. Ville Husso stopped
30 of 33 shots while taking the loss.
Kings 3, Sabres 0
Andreas Athanasiou scored twice, Cal Petersen crafted his second
shutout this season and Los Angeles earned a shutout victory
over host Buffalo.
Athanasiou notched his 100th career goal in the second period,
then he and Dustin Brown each scored into an empty net in the
final minute as Los Angeles won its second straight and improved
to 20-6-3 against the Eastern Conference. On a fairly light day
of work, Petersen had 19 saves in his third career shutout.
The Sabres were coming off consecutive games of five goals
scored and lost for the first time in three games ahead of a
visit from the Florida Panthers on Monday. Dustin Tokarski
recorded 29 saves for Buffalo.
Lightning 6, Blackhawks 3
Visiting Tampa Bay scored three goals in a 32-second span early
in the third period and defeated Chicago.
Victor Hedman scored two goals and Mikhail Sergachev had a goal
and two assists for the Lightning, who have won seven of their
past eight games. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 24 saves and improved
to 12-0 in his career against the Blackhawks.
Dylan Strome, Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat each had a goal
and an assist for the Blackhawks, who have lost six of eight
(2-5-1). Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves.
Hurricanes 3, Kraken 2
Martin Necas scored for the first time in 19 games, breaking a
third-period tie as Carolina defeated Seattle in Raleigh, N.C.
Necas has nine goals this season, but he hadn't found the net
since Jan. 15. Nino Niederreiter and Teuvo Teravainen scored
second-period power-play goals for the Hurricanes, who hold an
11-game point streak on home ice. Antti Raanta made 28 saves.
Alex Wennberg and Calle Jarnkrok scored in the second period for
the Kraken, who lost for the ninth time in the last 10 games
(1-8-1). Jarnkrok also had an assist. Goalie Philipp Grubauer
made 30 saves, though he was unsuccessful in gaining his first
victory in his last eight decisions.
Rangers 4, Jets 1
Chris Kreider scored twice, Igor Shesterkin made 45 saves and
New York opened a four-game road trip with a victory over
Winnipeg.
Kreider scored for the third straight game and netted his 37th
and 38th goals. He pulled into a tie with Edmonton's Leon
Draisaitl for second and moved within one of Auston Matthews for
the league lead.
Barclay Goodrow and Zibanejad also tallied for the Rangers, who
won their third straight game and improved to 8-2-1 in their
past 11. Nikolaj Ehlers scored a power-play goal in the second
for the Jets, who lost for the sixth time in eight games
(2-4-2).
Golden Knights 2, Senators 1
Jack Eichel scored a power play goal with 5.2 seconds remaining
and Jonathan Marchessault scored for the third straight game as
Vegas defeated Ottawa in Las Vegas.
Eichel picked up a rebound of a Max Pacioretty shot in the left
circle and then fired a wrist shot inside the near left post and
past goalie Anton Forsberg's blocker for his third goal of the
season. The goal snapped an 0-for-17 drought for the Golden
Knights on the power play.
Marchessault added an assist for Vegas, which improved to just
5-6-3 in its last 14 home games. Robin Lehner tied his season
high with 39 saves. Brady Tkachuk scored for Ottawa, which lost
its fifth straight game. Forsberg finished with 40 saves.
Ducks 3, Sharks 2 (OT)
Rickard Rakell scored on a controversial breakaway 14 seconds
into overtime as Anaheim defeated visiting San Jose.
Adam Henrique and Sonny Milano also scored for the Ducks, who
finished 3-3-0 on the six-game homestand, their longest of the
season. Logan Couture and Marc-Edouard Vlasic scored for San
Jose, which lost for the 11th time in its past 13 games (2-6-5).
Rakell jumped onto the ice and took a long lead pass from Troy
Terry at the San Jose blue line. He skated in alone on Zach
Sawchenko and slipped a forehand shot between the rookie's pads.
The Sharks argued Anaheim had too many players on the ice to no
avail.
