David Pastrnak had a goal and an assist in regulation, then
registered the decisive tally in a shootout as the Boston Bruins
beat the New York Islanders 5-4 on Friday night in Elmont, N.Y.
Morgan Geekie and James van Riemsdyk also recorded a goal and an
assist apiece for the Bruins, who never led until Pastrnak's
shootout goal for their fifth win in seven games (5-1-1).
Goalie Linus Ullmark made 33 saves in the win.
Bo Horvat had a goal with two assists for the Islanders, whose
four-game winning streak ended. Brock Nelson had a goal and an
assist, Simon Holmstrom and Alexander Romanov also scored and Mathew
Barzal notched two assists. New York's Ilya Sorokin stopped 30
shots.
Predators 6, Hurricanes 5 (OT)
Filip Forsberg scored 33 seconds into overtime to give Nashville a
road win over Carolina in Raleigh, N.C.
The Predators are on a three-game winning streak, with Forsberg
scoring the OT winner in each of Nashville's last two games. Roman
Josi and Ryan O'Reilly each had a goal and two assists for
Nashville, while Forsberg and Juuso Parssinen each had a goal and an
assist. Jeremy Lauzon and Tyson Barrie scored the Predators' other
goals.
Stefan Noesen and Martin Necas each had a goal and an assist for the
Hurricanes, and Michael Bunting had two assists. Tony DeAngelo,
Jalen Chatfield, and Sebastian Aho also scored for Carolina.
Rangers 5, Ducks 1
Chris Kreider scored twice, Jonathan Quick made 29 saves to continue
his strong start with his new team and host New York pulled away for
a victory over skidding Anaheim.
The Rangers bounced back nicely from Tuesday's ugly's 7-3 loss to
Toronto thanks to Kreider. His big night gave him 281 career goals
to move him past Adam Graves (280) for sole possession of third on
the Rangers' all-time list. Jimmy Vesey also scored, getting his
fourth game-winner of the year with 8:15 remaining in the second
period.
New York's Mika Zibanejad added a late power-play goal and set up
Kreider's first tally. Adam Fox and Artemi Panarin collected two
assists apiece and Adam Edstrom tallied in his NHL debut in the
final minute. Brett Leason scored but Anaheim lost its fifth
straight and saw its road losing streak hit seven. The Ducks dropped
to 1-12-0 since Nov. 15.
Coyotes 1, Sharks 0
Connor Ingram made 21 saves in his third shutout of the season and
Arizona ended a four-game losing streak with a win against San Jose

Ingram is tied with Tristan Jarry of the Pittsburgh
Penguins and Thatcher Demko of the Vancouver Canucks for the most
shutouts in the NHL this season. Matias Maccelli scored in the
second period for the Coyotes, who won two challenges on potential
game-tying, third-period goals by San Jose.
Kaapo Kahkonen made 23 saves for the Sharks, who were shut out for
the fifth time this season. San Jose had won three of its past four
games and had been 6-2-1 in its past nine.
Sabers 5, Golden Knights 2
Casey Mittelstadt scored two goals during a four-goal third period
and added an assist as Buffalo rallied for a victory in Las Vegas.
Dylan Cozens had a goal and two assists, Alex Tuch and Zach Benson
each had a goal and an assist and Devon Levi made 33 saves for
Buffalo, which has won two of its last three games.

streak for the Golden Knights. Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev each
scored for Vegas, while Logan Thompson finished with 22 saves.
Stars 5, Senators 4
Matt Duchene scored the go-ahead goal after tallying an earlier
assist as host Dallas rallied past Ottawa.
Stars goalie Jake Oettinger allowed two goals on two shots before
leaving the game with a lower-body injury. Scott Wedgewood made 25
saves in relief for Dallas, which has won three of its past four
games. While Dallas coach Pete DeBoer had no update on Oettinger's
injury, he said the goalie would not make the trip to St. Louis for
Saturday night's game with the Blues.
Drake Batherson had two goals, Jakob Chychrun had three assists and
