Anders Bjork had a goal and an assist, Charlie McAvoy and Sean Kuraly also
scored goals and Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo and David Krejci each had two
assists for Boston, which has won four in a row since a season-opening 7-0
loss at defending Stanley Cup champion Washington. The Bruins have outscored
their opponents 22-6 during the streak.
Tuukka Rask had 32 saves for the Bruins, who improved to 15-1-1 in their last
17 games against Detroit, including seven wins in a row.
Filip Hronek scored the first goal of his NHL career, and Dylan Larkin added a
short-handed goal for Detroit. Jonathan Bernier had 31 saves for the winless
Red Wings, who are off to their worst start since beginning 0-5 in the 1980-81
season.
Golden Knights 1, Flyers 0
Cody Eakin scored with 1:25 remaining in the third period, and Vegas ended a
three-game losing streak with a win at Philadelphia.
Eakin fired a shot from the left circle for his second goal of the season on a
pass from Ryan Carpenter.
The Golden Knights needed a spectacular save by goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury,
who sprawled across the crease to get his glove on a shot by Philadelphia's
Claude Giroux with 38 seconds left.
Oilers 2, Rangers 1
Connor McDavid scored a power-play goal 6:23 into the third period and added

McDavid has either scored or assisted on all of Edmonton's five goals this
season. He recorded the secondary assist on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' first goal of
the season in the opening period.

a cross-ice pass from Leon Draisaitl while positioned at the left side of the
net -- in the low slot off Henrik Lundqvist's left leg.
Senators 5, Kings 1
Chris Wideman enjoyed his first career two-goal game, scoring in the first and
third periods for host Ottawa in a rout of Los Angeles.
Wideman's multi-goal effort came in his 161st career game and one day shy of
the anniversary of his last goal.
Chris Tierney, Mark Stone and Colin White also scored for the Senators, who
raced out to a 4-0 lead midway through the second period and were never
threatened. Goalie Craig Anderson recorded 36 saves as Ottawa snapped a
two-game losing streak.
Hurricanes 5, Wild 4 (OT)
Sebastian Aho's second goal 2:57 into overtime lifted Carolina over Minnesota
at Saint Paul, Minn.

remaining in regulation forced overtime. Aho picked up his second assist of
the night on the tally. Jordan Staal and Brett Pesce also scored for the
Hurricanes, who matched their best five-game start in franchise history with a
4-0-1 record.

Horvat, skating on the left side, took a nifty backhand, cross-ice pass from
Sven Baertschi before scoring his third goal of the season. Elias Pettersson
and Antoine Roussel also tallied for the Canucks.
Jonathan Huberdeau and Vincent Trocheck scored for the Panthers, who have yet
to earn a win in three games this season and are 0-for-12 on the power play
during that span.

Josh Leivo scored his first goal of the season on a power play in the third
period to break a tie and help visiting Toronto down Washington.
Auston Matthews added his 10th goal of the season late in the third to clinch

period as host Nashville cruised past New York.

for the Predators, who completed a quick season sweep of the Islanders.
Nashville beat New York, 4-3, in the latter's home opener on Oct. 6.
Brock Nelson and Andrew Ladd scored for the Islanders, who began a four-game
Western Conference road swing.
Stars 5, Ducks 3
John Klingberg's power-play goal late in the second period capped a four-goal
explosion by Dallas, which overcame a shaky start to rally past visiting
Anaheim.
Klingberg, who also had an assist, put the Stars on top with 2:14 to play in
the second period when he took a pass from Alexander Radulov and fired a long
shot from the point that found the back of the net through traffic. Radulov,
Connor Carrick, Jamie Benn and Radek Faksa also scored for Dallas, which
outshot the Ducks 51-25.

season. Artem Anisimov and Patrick Kane also scored for the Blackhawks, and
goaltender Cam Ward made 35 saves to earn the victory.

first start of the season as the Sabres improved to 8-2-1 in their last 11
games against the Coyotes and 9-2 in their last 11 games at Gila River Arena.
The Coyotes have been shut out in three of their first four games and have not
scored an even-strength goal all season.

Flames.
