    Kraken 4, Devils 3 (OT)

    Ryan Donato had two goals and an assist for Seattle, and Andre Burakovsky scored 1:10 into overtime to give the Kraken a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night.

    Donato powered Seattle to an early 2-0 lead, but New Jersey rallied. Erik Haula’s short-handed breakaway goal at 6:04 of the third period tied it at 2.

    Brandon Tanev put the Kraken in front again at 7:51, but New Jersey forced overtime with another late goal. Nico Hischier jabbed the rebound off Jack Hughes’ shot past Seattle goalie Martin Jones with 1:14 left, capping an extended flurry of activity around the net after the Devils pulled goalie Mackenzie Blackwell.

    It was the second straight game that New Jersey forced overtime with a late goal after pulling the goalie. Hughes scored with 8.6 seconds left in regulation against San Jose on Monday. The Devils eventually won in a shootout.

    Burakovsky’s 13th goal of the season slipped under Blackwell’s pad and snapped a two-game losing streak for Seattle. It was the Kraken's 27th win, matching the team's total from its inaugural season.

    New Jersey had won five straight games overall and seven in a row on the road. It missed out on a chance to sweep a five-game trip, its longest of the season.

    Damon Severson scored midway through the second period to pull New Jersey within 2-1.

    Jones made 27 saves and won for the eighth time in his past nine starts. Blackwood made 36 saves for New Jersey, keeping the Devils in the game by withstanding an early onslaught of shots by the Kraken.

    Donato scored nearly identical goals, snapping an eight-game stretch when he failed to find the back of the net. Donato scored in five of six games in December and then went cold with just four points during the eight-game goal drought.

    He got his first goal came at 12:27 of the first when he snapped a wrist shot from the right circle over Blackwell’s glove and under the crossbar.

    The second goal came from nearly the same spot on the ice and gave Seattle a 2-0 lead at 4:52 of the second.

    Hurricanes 5, Wild 2

    Brent Burns, Brady Skjei and Jalen Chatfield scored to give Carolina another productive offensive outing from its blueliners.

    Burns and Skjei scored during Carolina's three-goal second period, while Chatfield added a third goal from a defenseman for the Hurricanes.

    Carolina entered the game with 20 goals and 67 points from defensemen since Nov. 25, which was third in the NHL behind Winnipeg and the New York Rangers.

    Teuvo Teravainen and Martin Necas also scored for the Hurricanes, and Frederik Andersen made 30 saves.

    Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy scored for the Wild. Minnesota had won three straight games and earned at least a point in six straight road games.

    Capitals 4, Coyotes 0

    Darcy Kuemper stopped 27 shots for Washington, and Dylan Strome scored twice.

    Sonny Milano and Tom Wilson each had a goal for the Capitals, who have won nine of their last 10 road games.

    Arizona has dropped 10 of 11 overall. The Coyotes halted a nine-game losing streak by beating Detroit on Tuesday.

    Kuemper, who played for the Coyotes from 2017-21, improved to 6-1-3 against his former team.

    Blackhawks 4, Flyers 1

    Jonathan Toews had a goal and an assist, and Chicago won for the first time in the regular season in Philadelphia in more than 26 years.

    Before Thursday, Chicago hadn’t won a regular-season game in Philadelphia since Nov. 9, 1996. The drought comes with a huge asterisk, though — the Blackhawks clinched the 2010 Stanley Cup championship in Game 6 in Philadelphia.

    Reese Johnson and Tyler Johnson also scored, and Philipp Kurashev had an empty-netter for Chicago. Petr Mrazek made 37 saves.

    Morgan Frost scored for Philadelphia.

    Oilers 5, Lightning 3

    Zach Hyman scored twice and Edmonton earned its fifth consecutive victory.

    Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each had a goal and an assist for the Oilers (26-18-3), who have won their last two at home after losing six of the previous seven at Rogers Place. Ryan McLeod also scored, and Jack Campbell made 28 saves in his fifth consecutive start.

    Brandon Hagel, Steven Stamkos and Brayden Point scored for the Lightning (29-14-1), who had won five in a row. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 29 shots.

    Blues 5, Predators 2

    Robert Thomas and Brendan Saad each had a goal and an assist, sending St. Louis to the victory.

    Jordan Binnington made 24 saves and tied Grant Fuhr for fourth place in Blues history with 108 career wins.

    Brayden Schenn, Jordan Kyrou and Alexey Toropchenko also scored for St. Louis.

    Colton Sissons, playing in his 500th NHL game, and Mattias Ekholm scored for Nashville.

    Ducks 5, Blue Jackets 3

    Cam Fowler, Trevor Zegras and Adam Henrique each had a goal and an assist, and Anaheim stopped a five-game losing streak.

    Simon Benoit and Max Jones also scored for Anaheim, which trailed 3-0 after one period. Isac Lundestrom and Troy Terry each had two assists.

    Anthony Stolarz stopped 12 shots before being replaced by John Gibson, who stopped all 18 shots he faced.

    Mathieu Olivier, Jack Roslovic and Nick Blankenburg scored for Columbus and Elvis Merzlikins stopped 28 shots. The Blue Jackets have lost three straight and seven of their last eight, including three in a row at home.

    Panthers 6, Canadiens 2

    Matthew Tkachuk scored twice during Florida's five-goal second period.

    Sam Reinhart had a goal and two assists. Sam Bennett, Givani Smith and Ryan Lomberg also scored for the Panthers.

    Sergei Bobrovsky exited with a lower-body injury just 2:01 into the game. Alex Lyon made 23 saves in relief for Florida.

    Rem Pitlick and Josh Anderson scored for Montreal.

    Canadiens goalie Sam Montembeault allowed five goals on 33 shots. Cayden Primeau took over in net in the third period, making six saves.

    Maple Leafs 4, Jets 1

    Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews scored twice early in the second period, and Ilya Samosonov made 37 saves.

    Mitch Marner and Mark Giordano also scored for Toronto. Michael Bunting added two assists.

    Kyle Connor scored for Winnipeg, and Connor Hellebuyck stopped 23 shots.

    Red Wings 3, Golden Knights 2

    Ville Husso made 33 saves and Detroit snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over scuffling Vegas.

    Lucas Raymond, Dominik Kubalik and Joe Veleno scored for the Red Wings, who had lost six of eight. That included blowing a two-goal lead in the third period of a 4-3 shootout loss Tuesday at Arizona.

    Detroit, though, faced a Golden Knights team trying to find its way since captain Mark Stone left with an upper-body injury Jan. 12 against Florida. Vegas has lost a season-high three in a row and four of five while struggling to hold onto first place in the Pacific Division.

    Los Angeles and Seattle were both two points back entering Thursday.

    Alex Pietrangelo and William Karlsson scored for the Golden Knights. Adin Hill stopped 22 shots.

    Stars 4, Kings 0

    Tyler Seguin scored twice in the first period, Scott Wedgewood made 34 saves for his first shutout this season and Dallas beat Los Angeles.

    Southern California native Jason Robertson had a goal and an assist for the Stars, who bounced back after blowing a three-goal lead Wednesday night in a loss at San Jose.

    Esa Lindell also scored for the Dallas, which moved into the Central Division lead with a Western Conference-best 61 points.
