Blues 4, Rangers 3 (OT)

The St. Louis Blues got a much-needed two points against the New York Rangers. They hope they haven't lost leading scorer Vladimir Tarasenko in the process.

Brayden Schenn scored 1:02 into overtime, Alex Pietrangelo had two goals in regulation and the St. Louis Blues came back to beat the Rangers on Saturday night. But Tarasenko played just 7 minutes, 53 seconds of the first period and left the ice following his last shift of the period with what the team called an upper-body injury. He did not return to the Blues bench to begin the second period.

Coach Mike Yeo said no update will be given until Sunday morning before the team plays at Chicago.

"There's not much to react to at the time," Blues forward Alexander Steen said. "We needed the two points and we regrouped in both intermissions and just talked about what we could focus on and we'll have a look at it now and see where it's at."

Nikita Soshnikov also scored for the Blues, who won their third game in their last four. Jake Allen made 17 saves as St. Louis moved within three points of idle Dallas and Colorado for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

"Season's on the line really," Schenn said. "We've got games in hand. We've got to grab two points whenever we can down the stretch."

Mika Zibanejad scored twice for Rangers, earning his third multigoal game of the season. Mats Zuccarello also scored, Chris Kreider had a pair of assists and Alexandar Georgiev made 29 saves for New York, which had won its previous two games.

It was the first time this season the Rangers lost when entering the third period with the lead.

Pietrangelo tied the game at 5:15 of the third period with a power-play goal. Pietrangelo's 14th tied his career season high, set last year.

"Just get the puck to the net," Pietrangelo said. "(Steen) did a great job there and (Jaden Schwartz) giving me a lane to shoot. It's a good job by them when they're in front of the net it's easy to see the back of the net and I just found the hole."

The Rangers came alive after a lackluster opening period, scoring three times in the second to take a 3-2 lead.

Zibanejad got it going 42 seconds into the second, deflecting Jesper Fast's shot to tie it at 1. But St. Louis regained the lead on Soshnikov's first goal with the Blues at 2:24 when Chris Thorburn carried the puck into the Rangers zone and dropped it back to Soshnikov for a one-timer.

"They're a good team and we talked about that before," Zibanejad said. "I thought we worked ourselves back into the game and it was unfortunate not to come up with the two points there."

Zuccarello tied it at 2 when he took advantage of a lucky bounce with 7:53 left in the second, chipping the puck past Allen after his pass attempt bounced off of Alexander Steen's stick right back him.

Zibanejad's power play goal with 5:25 left in the second gave the Rangers a 3-2 advantage.

Pietrangelo gave the Blues a 1-0 lead with 4:11 left in the first period, scoring off of a rebound from Vladimir Sobotka's shot.

The Blues outshot the Rangers 16-2 in the first. Georgiev came up with several tough saves, including stopping Tarasenko on a 2-on-1 with Jaden Schwartz.

"Well, we followed the master plan in the first period: tire them out in our own end," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault joked.

Flyers 4, Hurricanes 2

Valterri Filppula scored the tiebreaking goal with 5:49 left, and Philadelphia scored four times in the third period to beat Carolina.

Travis Konecny and Jakub Voracek also scored as the Flyers scored three times in a 5:52 span to rally for the win. Michael Raffl added an empty-netter and Alex Lyon stopped 23 shots.

Filppula's breakaway goal snapped a 2-2 tie and secured a needed victory for the Flyers, who entered on a 1-6-1 skid. Philadelphia moved back into third place in the Metropolitan Division, tied with Columbus but holding the tiebreaker.

Jaccob Slavin and Jordan Staal scored and Cam Ward made 23 saves for the Hurricanes, who have lost five of six.

Devils 3, Kings 0

Keith Kinkaid stopped 38 shots for his first shutout of the season to lead New Jersey past Los Angeles.

Michael Grabner, Nico Hischier and Miles Wood each scored for the Devils, who have won three straight and four of five. New Jersey remained in the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, one point behind Metropolitan Division rivals Philadelphia and Columbus, who both won later Saturday night.

Jonathan Quick made 25 saves for the Kings, who are tied with Anaheim for third in the Pacific.

Kinkaid is 3-0-0 in his career against the Kings with two shutouts. He has won four consecutive starts and is 9-2-0 in his last 11.

Blue Jackets 2, Senators 1

Markus Nutivaara scored a power-play goal in the second period, Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 22 shots, and Columbus beat Ottawa.

Boone Jenner also scored — his third tally in three games — for the Blue Jackets, who have won a season-high seven straight and are holding on to the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference with 83 points, tied with Philadelphia and one point ahead of New Jersey.

Alexandre Burrows scored his fifth of the year and Mike Condon stopped 33 shots for Ottawa, which saw a three-game winning streak snapped on the second night of a back-to-back.

Oilers 4, Panthers 2

Connor McDavid had a goal and two assists in the third period and Edmonton rallied past Florida.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Ty Rattie and Adam Larsson also scored for the Oilers, who are 4-1-1 in their past six games.

Cam Talbot made 40 saves for the Oilers.

Frank Vatrano and Vincent Trocheck scored for Florida.

Roberto Luongo made 32 saves for the Panthers, who lost for the first time this season when leading after two periods (23-1).

Sabres 5, Blackhawks 3

Nicholas Baptiste scored two goals in the third period to lead Buffalo past Chicago.

Baptiste scored the game-winner with 1:56 remaining on a deflection. Following a faceoff win in the Chicago end, Marco Scandella's shot from the point was deflected by Baptiste in the slot for the forward's second goal of the game.

Baptiste also tied the game at 3-3 on a long shot through traffic 2:17 into the third.

Ryan O'Reilly, Benoit Pouliot and Sam Reinhart also scored for the Sabres, and Chad Johnson made 34 saves.

Jonathan Toews, Jordan Oesterle and Tomas Jurco scored for the Blackhawks, and Jean-Francois Berube made 27 saves.

The Sabres got a lift from the returning Jack Eichel, who was back in the lineup after missing 15 games because of an ankle injury. Eichel had one assist and five shots in 18:14.

Maple Leafs 4, Canadiens 0

Curtis McElhinney made 33 saves for his third shutout of the season and Toronto extended its club-record home winning streak to 12 straight games.

Andreas Johnsson scored his first NHL goal, and William Nylander, Kasperi Kapanen and Nazem Kadri also had goals for Toronto, which has four victories in a row following a four-game slide (0-2-2).

McElhinney, who picked up the eighth shutout of his career, got his second straight start and third consecutive win with Leafs No. 1 goalie Frederik Andersen still out after taking a blow to the head/neck area in a crease pileup on Wednesday against Dallas.

Charlie Lindgren made 45 saves for Montreal, which dropped to 1-5-2 over its last eight games.

Antti Raanta, back in net for the Coyotes after a six-game injury absence, finished with 28 saves. Clayton Keller scored the Coyotes' only goal as they have lost back-to-back games for the first time since Feb. 3 and 6.
