nhl roundup | Sunday’s games


Bruins 4, Sabres 3, OT

BOSTON

Loui Eriksson scored 2:14 into overtime, and the Bruins rallied to beat the Sabres. Dougie Hamilton scored twice for Boston, including a tying goal with 1:31 left in the third after the Bruins pulled goalie Tuukka Rask. Chris Kelly also scored for Boston, and defenseman Zdeno Chara had two assists. Buffalo couldn’t quite hang on after holding a 3-2 lead for most of the third period on Tim Schaller’s first NHL goal. Schaller was recalled from Rochester earlier in the day and played his third career game 50 miles south of his hometown of Merrimack, New Hampshire. Andrej Meszaros and Rasmus Ristolainen also scored for the Sabres.

Rangers 1, Hurricanes 0

NEW YORK

Ryan McDonagh’s first-period goal held up and Cam Talbot made 18 saves as the Rangers extended their winning streak to six. The Rangers completed a sweep of the home-and-home weekend series against the Eastern Conference-worst Hurricanes, who lost for the eighth time in nine games. Talbot is 3-3-1 this season backing up Henrik Lundqvist, with all three of his victories being shutouts. McDonagh scored his second goal of the season 4:10 into the game. He slapped the puck in the slot past goaltender Anton Khudobin, who has yet to win this season (0-8-2).

Blackhawks 4, Maple Leafs 0

CHICAGO

Patrick Kane had a power-play goal and two assists, leading Antti Raanta and the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks played with a “CR” on their helmets after assistant equipment manager Clint Reif died earlier in the day. The team said it was “deeply saddened” by the loss and declined further comment while asking for respect for the privacy for Reif’s family and friends. Raanta made 31 saves for his second shutout of the season, helping Chicago rebound from a 3-2 shootout loss Saturday night in Columbus.

Stars 6, Oilers 5, SO

EDMONTON, ALBERTA

Tyler Seguin had two goals and an assist, and then scored in the shootout to help the Stars beat the Oilers for their fourth consecutive win. Shawn Horcoff had the winning score in the eighth round of the tiebreaker, and also collected his fifth goal in the first period. Erik Cole and Jamie Benn also scored in regulation for the Stars (14-13-5), who have won five of six.

Avalanche 2, Red Wings 1, SO

DETROIT

Jarome Iginla scored in the ninth shootout round to lift the Avalanche to a victory over the Red Wings. Iginla got a wrist shot past Petr Mrazek, who had turned away six straight Avalanche shooters. Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene also scored in the tiebreaker as Colorado ended a three-game road trip with five points. Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar had shootout goals for Detroit.

Flyers 4, Jets 3, OT

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA

Rob Zepp made 25 saves in his NHL debut and Jakub Voracek scored 10 seconds into overtime, sending the Flyers over the Jets. Voracek and linemate Claude Giroux forced a Dustin Byfuglien turnover behind the Winnipeg net, and Voracek slid the puck through Ondrej Pavelec’s pads for his second goal of the game. Marc Streit and Vincent Lecavalier also scored for the Flyers.
