NHL roundup: Kraken hand Bruins first home regulation loss

[January 14, 2023] Martin Jones made 27 saves and the red-hot Seattle Kraken scored one goal in each period in a 3-0 win Thursday over the host Boston Bruins, who previously had not lost in regulation at home this season.

Brandon Tanev, Eeli Tolvanen and Jaden Schwartz all marked the scoresheet for the Kraken, who have won seven straight overall and six straight road games for the second time this season. Jones logged 10 of his stops in the second period in his third shutout this season and 28th overall.

Boston, which entered the game 19-0-3 at home, was also handed its first shutout and had a 14-game point streak halted. Linus Ullmark lost for just the second time, making 28 saves.

Bruins coach Jim Montgomery was aggressive in pulling Ullmark in favor of an extra skater with five minutes left in regulation, but none of five shot attempts during more than a minute of continuous zone time found their way past Jones.

Rangers 2, Stars 1 (OT)

K'Andre Miller tied the score with less than one second remaining in regulation, Adam Fox scored 1:16 into overtime and New York rallied past visiting Dallas.

In overtime, New York's Artemi Panarin got to a loose puck during a scramble in front and passed to Fox, who scored on a backhander. With the extra attacker on for New York late in regulation, Miller's initial shot from above the left faceoff circle was blocked, but he then wristed a shot by Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger two-tenths of a second before time expired.

Igor Shesterkin made 24 saves for the Rangers, who improved to 5-0-1 in their past six games and 13-2-2 in the past 17. Tyler Seguin scored his 10th goal of the season for the Stars and Oettinger made 29 saves.
