In the first meeting between the clubs since last June's Stanley Cup Final, Vasilevskiy stopped 30 shots to extend his franchise-record shutout total to 29. Hagel had two goals and an assist to lead the Lightning offensive output as they broke a two-game skid (0-1-1).

Canucks 6, Islanders 5

Elias Pettersson scored the tying and go-ahead goals in a span of fewer than four minutes in the third period for Vancouver, which overcame a two-goal deficit to win in Elmont, N.Y.

Pettersson scored a power-play goal 4:38 into the third before he completed an end-to-end rush and beat Ilya Sorokin with 11:32 left. Anthony Beauvillier, who was traded by the Islanders to the Canucks for Bo Horvat on Jan. 30, added an insurance goal by redirecting a shot with 3:02 left. Boeser, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Nils Aman added goals for the Canucks.

Horvat also scored in his first game against his former team for the Islanders. Kyle Palmieri, Brock Nelson, Mathew Barzal and Noah Dobson tallied for New York, which had its four-game winning streak snapped. Sorokin recorded 28 saves.

Golden Knights 5, Wild 1

Jack Eichel had a goal and an assist and Reilly Smith scored on a penalty shot to help lead Vegas to a victory in Saint Paul, Minn. Eichel snapped a nine-game goal drought.

Logan Thompson made 23 saves to earn the win, but he was assisted off the ice with a left leg injury with 18:41 remaining in the game. Adin Hill finished up and made four saves.

Kirill Kaprizov scored for Minnesota, which lost its third straight game. Marc-Andre Fleury broke a tie with Terry Sawchuk for fourth place for most games played by a goaltender in NHL history with his 972nd contest. He made 18 saves on 23 shots before giving way to Filip Gustavsson, who made eight saves in the third period.

Flyers 2, Oilers 1 (SO)

Morgan Frost and James van Riemsdyk scored in a shootout as host Philadelphia topped Edmonton, though the Oilers did extend their points streak to double digits.

The Flyers won in the third round of the shootout, in which Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was the only successful shooter for the Oilers. Edmonton's Connor McDavid was unable to get a clean shot off in the shootout, and Flyers goaltender Carter Hart secured the win when he stopped Leon Draisaitl's shot in Round 3.
