Hurricanes 4, Blue Jackets 3, OT

COLUMBUS

Jordan Staal scored in overtime to help Carolina recover after giving up a three-goal lead. Andrej Nestrasil, Kris Versteeg and John-Michael Liles scored and Staal added an assist for Carolina. Cam Ward made 21 saves and the Hurricanes swept the home-and-home series after beating Columbus 4-1 on Friday night. Carolina is 5-0-1 in their last six games against the Blue Jackets, including four straight wins in Columbus. Cam Atkinson, Alexander Wennberg and Josh Anderson scored for Columbus to erase a 3-0 deficit, and defenseman Seth Jones made his first home appearance. The Blue Jackets have lost both games since they acquired Jones from Nashville on Wednesday for center Ryan Johansen. Joonas Korpisalo made 26 saves.

Capitals 4, Rangers 3

NEW YORK

Alexander Ovechkin scored his second goal of the game and the 499th of his career at 1:25 of overtime and the Capitals rallied to beat the Rangers. Nicklas Backstrom forced overtime by sliding the rebound of Justin Williams’ shot under Henrik Lundqvist with 5.7 seconds left in regulation. Braden Holtby prevented the Rangers from winning just seconds before Ovechkin scored. The Washington goaltender stopped Rick Nash in close and then combined with defenseman Nate Schmidt to stop Derek Stephan on the rebound attempt. Ovechkin got the puck, skated the length of the ice on the left side before cutting across the middle and beating Lundqvist. Ovechkin will try to reach the 500-goal milestone on Sunday at home against Ottawa. Williams also scored for the Capitals and Holtby made 23 saves. Viktor Stalberg, Kevin Hayes and Oscar Lindberg scored for the Rangers.

Senators 2, Bruins 1, OT

OTTAWA, ONTARIO

Mark Stone scored 4:22 into overtime to lift Ottawa past Boston. Stone was able to put in his own rebound over a sprawling Tuuka Rask after being stopped the first time on a wraparound attempt. Mika Zibanejad also scored for the Senators and Craig Anderson finished with 33 saves. David Pastrnak got his third goal of the season and Rask stopped 38 shots for the Bruins.

Flyers 4, Islanders 0

PHILADELPHIA

Steve Mason stopped 20 shots for his third shutout of the season and led Philadelphia over New York. Michael Raffl, Evgeny Medvedev, Matt Read and Sean Couturier scored to help the Flyers beat the Islanders for the first time in three games this season. Mason had his 29th career shutout and the Flyers won their third straight.

Sharks 7, Maple Leafs 0

SAN JOSE, CALIF.

Brent Burns started a four-goal, second-period outburst with a highlight-reel move and Matt Nieto scored a short-handed goal following a botched Toronto line change in San Jose’s most lopsided shutout since 2001. Tomas Hertl added two goals and Joe Pavelski, Melker Karlsson and Joonas Donskoi also scored to help the Sharks end a lackluster homestand on a bright note. San Jose went 2-3 during a two-week stretch at the Shark Tank and has the worst home record in the league at 6-12-0. Martin Jones made 28 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and San Jose won its seventh straight against Toronto.
