record-tying 11-game losing streak to begin a season with a 2-1

contest tied with the 1943-44 New York Rangers (0-11-0) and the
Arizona Coyotes (0-10-1 in both 2017-18 and 2021-22) for the worst
starts to a season in modern NHL history.
San Jose also snapped a 17-game regular-season losing streak
(0-15-2) dating back to last season, when they defeated Arizona 7-2

scored for Arizona, and Nick Bjugstad was the only player to tally
in the shootout for either team.

Schultz and Jaden Schwartz also tallied goals. Matty Beniers had two

Martin Necas scored 90 seconds into overtime to give Carolina a
victory against Buffalo in Raleigh, N.C.
It was the second overtime winner at home this season for Necas. He
tipped in the puck from near the crease after the Sabres controlled
the puck for most of the first minute of the extra session.

Hurricanes goals. Buffalo's goals came from Alex Tuch and Rasmus
Dahlin. The Sabres were aiming for their fourth win in five games.

-- a former netminder at Ohio State -- recorded 23 saves on 26
shots. Nikita Kucherov continued to sizzle on the offensive end,
providing the game's first goal and later adding an assist. He has
four markers and seven helpers in the past three games.

Canadiens.

recorded 27 saves.
Rangers 5, Red Wings 3
Artemi Panarin scored and added an assist during New York's
four-goal second period to extend his season-opening point streak to
12 games as the host Rangers surged ahead before holding on for a
victory over Detroit.
Panarin finished with his seventh multi-point game this season as
the Rangers improved to 7-0-1 in their past eight games. Vincent
Trocheck scored New York's first goal and netted his second tally
during a second-period power play. Chris Kreider scored on a
power-play tip-in to start the Rangers' outburst at 7:31 of the
second, and Trocheck followed with a man-advantage tally 44 seconds
later.
