Bruins 2, Avalanche 1

Brad Marchand scored 4:03 into overtime and Boston extended its points streak to seven games with a win over Colorado on Sunday.

Patrice Bergeron left the puck at the top of the right circle for Marchand, who skated into the slot and fired it past goalie Semyon Varlamov to extend his franchise record with 14 career overtime goals.

John Moore also scored and Jaroslav Halak made 35 saves for the Bruins, who improved to 4-0-3 in their last seven.

Nathan MacKinnon scored his 29th goal for Colorado, tying Gabriel Landeskog for the team lead. Varlamov had 33 saves as the Avs lost their seventh in a row (0-3-3) but earned a point with a third straight overtime loss.

MacKinnon gained control of the puck in the corner before charing the net and beating Halak high on the glove side with 32.1 seconds left in the first.

Boston tied it on Moore's goal nearly four minutes into the second. The veteran defenseman's wrist shot from atop the left circle found its way past a screened Varlamov for his third goal of the season.

MacKinnon's perfectly-timed exit from the penalty box during a Bruins power play midway through the period resulted in a breakaway, but he hesitated and jammed the puck against Halak's blocker.

Moore nearly scored another when he dumped the puck into the Avs' zone, only to have it take a wild bounce off the glass and zip past an unsuspecting Varlamov with 24.1 seconds left in the second. Moore stared in disbelief as the referees waved it off, saying the puck went out of play after hitting the curved glass next to Boston's bench.

Rangers 4, Maple Leafs 1

Alexandar Georgiev had a career-high 55 saves to lead the New York Rangers over Toronto.

Mika Zibanejad, Jimmy Vesey and Adam McQuaid scored for the Rangers, who finished their five-game homestand at 2-2-1. Kevin Hayes added an empty-netter, and Mats Zuccarello and Chris Kreider each had two assists.

Kasperi Kapanen scored for the Maple Leafs, who had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Toronto had a season-high 56 shots, forcing Georgiev to be at his best throughout. He is the seventh goalie in franchise history with 50 or more saves in a game. The previous goalie to do it was Henrik Lundqvist last year.

The Rangers penalty killers also helped to slow down the Maple Leafs. Toronto went 0 for 4 on the power play despite managing 23 shots.

Leading 2-1 in the third period, McQuaid gave the Rangers some insurance when he scored from the point at 11:59 for his second goal of the season.

The Rangers, who were blanked by Carolina on Friday, got off to a fast start against the Leafs.

Kreider sent a pass from behind the net to Zuccarello, who was alone in front. Toronto backup goalie Garret Sparks stopped Zuccarello twice, but the loose puck went to Zibanejad, who scored his 23rd of the season just 28 seconds into the game.

Given the early lead, Georgiev was sharp in making several stellar saves on the Maple Leafs' power play a couple of minutes later.

The Maple Leafs kept up the pressure and tied the game halfway through the period. Defenseman Tony DeAngelo had his pass intercepted by Kapanen, who skated in on a breakaway and scored his 16th of the season at 10:35.

Despite being badly outshot, the Rangers took a 2-1 lead after killing off another penalty. Ryan Strome entered the zone and sent a pass to Kreider. Kreider sent a cross-ice pass to Vesey, who wristed it past Sparks for his 12th of the season at 14:05.

Islanders 2, Wild 1

Devon Toews scored the tiebreaking goal early in the second period, Thomas Greiss stopped 26 shots and the New York Islanders beat Minnesota.

Anthony Beauvillier also scored for Metropolitan Division-leading New York, which won for the fourth time in five games and ninth in 12 (9-1-2). The Islanders, who beat Colorado 4-3 in overtime Saturday, improved to 15-2-1 in back-to-back games, including 9-0-0 on the back end.

Mikael Granlund scored for the Wild, who lost for the fifth time in six games (1-3-2). Devan Dubnyk, starting for the second straight game after facing just 18 shots in a 4-2 win at New Jersey on Saturday, had 32 saves.

Minnesota pressed for the tying goal in the third, outshooting New York 12-9 in the period after totaling just 15 shots over the first 40 minutes. Greiss had four saves in close on one Wild power play in the middle of the period, stopping a tip by Eric Staal, a shot by Jason Zucker and two more tries by Staal.

Greiss improved to 4-0-1 in his last five games, giving up just three goals on 157 shots in the stretch. His lone loss was 1-0 in a shootout against Tampa Bay at the Nassau Coliseum on Feb. 1.

The Islanders finished 1 for 6 on the power play, and the Wild were 1 for 3.

Granlund tied the score 1-1 with a power-play goal 38 seconds into the second period. A rebound of Eric Staal's shot came out to Jason Zucker on the right side and as Greiss came out to cut off his angle, Zucker sent the puck across to the left where Granlund put it into the open net for his 13th.

Toews put the Islanders back in front at 2:01 on a power play with his fourth goal, a one-timer from the left slot off a pass from Ryan Pulock.

The Islanders outshot Minnesota 15-9 in the first, sending nearly as many shots at Dubnyk as he faced the entire game the previous day.

Beauvillier gave New York a 1-0 lead with just under six minutes left in the opening period with his 13th of the season and first in 12 games. Valtteri Filppula brought the puck up the right side and passed to Beauvillier, who was streaking up the middle alone, and he beat Dubnyk on the right side. The goalie got a piece of the shot, but the puck trickled across the line.

Filppula had a chance to double the lead on a 3-on-2 break with a little more than a minute left in the first, but his attempt in front hit Dubnyk and then was covered up the goalie, who fell back on the ice and appeared unaware it was under him.

Devils 3, Hurricanes 2

Marcus Johansson scored twice and a battered Keith Kinkaid made 32 saves and New Jersey prevented Carolina from moving into a playoff spot.

Nico Hischier set up all three goals to help the Devils snap the Hurricanes' three-game winning streak and hand them only their fifth loss (13-5-1) in 19 games. Pavel Zacha also scored for the Devils.

Dougie Hamilton and Teuvo Teravainen scored for Carolina, and Petr Mrazek made 18 saves. The Hurricanes have missed the playoffs the last nine seasons.

The Hurricanes would have moved into the second wild-card spot ahead of idle Pittsburgh with a win.

This was a tough game for Kinkaid in more ways than stopping shots. He took a stick in the face from Jordan Martinook with 7:23 left in the second period, was bowled over by Justin Williams later in the period and was knocked over again in the third when Nino Niederreiter interfered with Devils defenseman Damon Severson.

Not only was Niederreiter penalized, the call nullified what would have been a tying goal by Sebastian Aho with 12:54 left.

Zacha and Johansson gave the Devils a 2-0 first-period lead.

Hamilton cut the gap to 2-1 in the second, but Johansson restored the two-goal margin at 15:56 of the third period. Teravainen scored on a power-play with 1:27 to play after Carolina pulled Mrazek.

Notes

Ducks fire Carlyle

The Anaheim Ducks fired coach Randy Carlyle on Sunday amid a seven-game losing streak.

The Ducks announced that general manager Bob Murray would take over as interim coach for the remainder of the regular season. Anaheim will name a new coach following the season.

"Difficult decisions need to be made when times are tough, and our play has clearly been unacceptable," Murray said in a statement. "We have a tradition of success in Anaheim and we need to get back to that."

Carlyle, 62, the winningest coach in Ducks history, was in his second stint with Anaheim. He led the team to the Stanley Cup in 2007 and three appearances in the Western Conference Final (2006, 2007, 2017).

The Ducks made the playoffs in seven of Carlyle's eight full seasons with the team, going 46-37 in the postseason. They were swept out of the first round last season.

Carlyle previously coached the Toronto Maple Leafs. He went 384-256-96 in 736 games with Anaheim.

But the team has struggled of late. Its loss to their Flyers on Saturday night was its 19th in the last 21 games. The Ducks were outscored 37-8 during their freefall.

After a promising start this season, Anaheim has plummeted to last place in the West. They lost 12 straight games from Dec. 18 to Jan. 15, then won two in a row, before their current skid.
