NHL roundup: Kane, Blackhawks keep rolling

Kane stretched his point streak to 19 games, an NHL high this season. However,
his assists streak ended at 17 consecutive games, tied for the third-longest
such streak in NHL history.

In OT, Kane fired a shot from the right circle past goaltender Jonathan
Bernier after passes from Erik Gustafsson and Jonathan Toews.

Artem Anisimov, Brandon Saad and Alex DeBrincat also scored for Chicago, which
squandered a 4-1 lead in the third period. Gustafsson had three assists. Dylan
Larkin and Andreas Athanasiou scored two goals apiece for Detroit. Anthony
Mantha assisted on all four goals.

Bruins 3, Golden Knights 2 (SO)

David Backes scored in the sixth round of a shootout at Las Vegas to give
Boston its seventh consecutive victory.

Brad Marchand and DeBrusk scored goals for Boston, which improved to 9-0-3
since the All-Star break. Jaroslav Halak made 31 saves for the win.

Reilly Smith had a goal and an assist and Nate Schmidt also scored for Vegas.
Marc-Andre Fleury, making his NHL-leading 52nd start, finished with 25 saves
but was denied for the fourth straight time at recording his 30th victory of
the season.

Avalanche 7, Jets 1

Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Calvert scored 11 seconds apart to open Colorado's
five-goal third period in a rout of Winnipeg at Denver.

Carl Soderberg and Tyson Jost each had a goal and two assists for Colorado,
Gabriel Landeskog added a goal and an assist, and Mikko Rantanen and A.J.
Greer also scored. Semyon Varlamov had 26 saves for the Avalanche, who have
won consecutive games for the first time since winning six in a row in
November.

Kyle Connor had a goal and Connor Hellebuyck stopped 39 shots for the Jets,
who have lost six of their past eight (2-4-2).

Flames 4, Islanders 2

Austin Czarnik and Johnny Gaudreau scored third-period goals 29 seconds apart
to break open a tie game, and host Calgary beat New York for its third
consecutive win.

With the score tied 2-2, Czarnik netted the game-winning goal at 6:10 of the
third. The fortuitous tally went off a defender and into the net to give
Czarnik goals in three straight games. On a power play right after, Gaudreau
wired a slap shot for his 30th of the season, which matches his career high.

Mike Smith made 17 saves for the Flames, who blew a 2-0 lead before
recovering. Mikael Backlund and Travis Hamonic scored for Calgary in the first
minute. Casey Cizikas and Anders Lee found the net for the Islanders.
