Flyers 4, Lightning 2
Jakub Voracek set up his team's first two goals, and the Philadelphia Flyers kept the pedal to the metal from there en route to a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, snapping a five-game losing streak.
Rookie Travis Konecny, who has been mired in a prolonged slump, scored just his second goal in the past 23 games to start a barrage of four goals in the second period for the Flyers (21-15-5), sending Tampa Bay to a third straight defeat.
Kings 4, Wild 3 (OT)
Tanner Pearson scored 3:32 into overtime and Jeff Carter registered a goal and two assists as the Kings recorded a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild.
Pearson scored his 11th goal of the season and raised the Kings' record to 8-1 in the extra session.
Minnesota (24-9-5) lost for the second time in three contests following a franchise-record 12 game winning streak.
Sabres 4, Jets 3
Brian Gionta scored midway through the third period to give the Buffalo Sabres to a 4-3 comeback win over the Winnipeg Jets.
Gionta's goal capped a three-goal burst by the Sabres in the third after a sluggish start to the game.
Rangers 5, Blue Jackets 4
Michael Grabner scored on a breakaway with 17 seconds remaining for his second goal of the game as the New York Rangers rallied from a two-goal third-period deficit to defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4.
Columbus defenseman Seth Jones fanned on a pass at the New York blueline and the speedy Grabner pounced, lifting a backhand shot high over sprawling goaltender Curtis McElhinney.
Grabner has a team-leading 18 goals.
Canadiens 5, Maple Leafs 3
Max Pacioretty, Artturi Lehkonen, Nikita Scherbak, Alexander Radulov and Michael McCarron scored as Montreal made it 3-for-3 over Toronto this season.
Shea Weber and Jeff Petry added two assists each for the Canadiens, who extended their winning streak to three games. Carey Price stopped 33 shots in the Montreal net.
Capitals 1, Senators 0
T.J. Oshie scored early in the first period and was in the dressing room for the third as Washington won its fifth straight.
Oshie took a hard hit on his left shoulder from the Senators' Dion Phaneuf but returned before the period was over. He did not, however, come out for the third period.
Sharks 6, Red Wings 3
Captain Joe Pavelski scored two goals to lead a San Jose offense that was the last team in the league this season to produce five goals in a game as the Sharks snapped a three-game losing streak.
Twelve different San Jose players recorded points with five skaters enjoying two-point nights.
Blues 4, Stars 3
Patrik Berglund scored with 1:54 left in the third period to snap a tie and lift St Louis to victory.
Berglund redirected a shot by Kevin Shattenkirk past goalie Antti Niemi for the final goal.
Paul Stastny collected two goals and an assist, Vladimir Tarasenko scored his 20th goal and Carter Hutton had 25 saves for the Blues, who improved to 12-5-2 in games following a loss this season.
Flames 3, Canucks 1
Goals by Alex Chiasson and Matt Stajan just over a minute apart in the first period sparked Calgary to a victory that stopped Vancouver's six-game win streak.
Michael Frolik got an insurance goal for the Flames on a breakaway late in the third period. Chiasson and Stajan scored within 1:03 of each other and Calgary got a strong effort in goal from Chad Johnson, who made 27 stops.
Bruins 4, Panthers 0
Brad Marchand scored twice and Tuukka Rask stopped 25 shots as Boston improved to 4-0-0 versus the Panthers this season -- all with Rask in goal.
Backes, just off the injured list, scored his first goal since Dec. 27. He has three goals in three games against Florida this season.
Oilers 2, Devils 1 (OT)
Mark Letestu's power-play goal 3:59 into overtime lifted Edmonton.
Letestu's score came on a booming left-wing slap shot with New Jersey's Travis Zajac sitting in the penalty box after slashing the Oilers' Connor McDavid.
Coyotes 2, Islanders 1 (SO)
Brendan Perlini scored the game-tying goal with 5:55 remaining and Anthony Duclair and Radim Vrbata scored in the shootout as Arizona ended a season-high nine-game losing streak one short of the franchise record.
The Coyotes had not won since Dec. 15 in Toronto. Arizona backup Louis Domingue made 27 saves, including six in overtime to win for the first time since Nov. 8 against Colorado.
