NHL roundup Monday’s games

Devils 2, Sabres 1

NEWARK, N.J.

Pavel Zacha scored on a power play with 7:27 remaining, and New Jersey snapped a seven-game home losing streak with a victory over Buffalo. Adam Henrique also scored a power-play goal, Mike Cammalleri had two assists and Cory Schneider made 22 saves as the Devils won at the Prudential Center for the first time since Jan. 2. New Jersey is 3-0-1 since the All-Star break. Tyler Ennis scored for the Sabres, and Robin Lehner made 37 saves.

Blues 2, Flyers 0

PHILADELPHIA

Kenny Agostino scored his first goal in almost three years, Carter Hutton had 26 saves and St. Louis beat Philadelphia. Paul Stastny also scored for St. Louis, which won for the second time in three games after coach Mike Yeo replaced Ken Hitchcock on Feb. 1, following a 1-5-0 stretch. Hutton, who allowed 13 goals in his three previous appearances, posted his first shutout since Jan. 24 and No. 3 on the season. Michal Neuvirth made 14 stops for Philadelphia, which dropped its second straight game. The Flyers also were shut out in their last game, a 1-0 overtime loss to Los Angeles on Saturday. Their three leading goal-scorers, Wayne Simmonds, Brayden Schenn and Jakub Voracek, have not scored in their past four games. The Blues won despite being held to a season-low 16 shots. It was just the third time this season they have been held to fewer than 20 shots. The 24-year-old Agostino was recalled from the minors on Monday after the team learned forward Robby Fabbri will miss the rest of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Agostino was leading the AHL with 60 points (18 goals, 42 assists) in 48 games. He scored on a breakaway 2:10 into the third period, beating Neuvirth under the crossbar to give the Blues a 2-0 lead.

Islanders 6, Maple Leafs 5, OT

NEW YORK

Brock Nelson’s second goal of the game at 2:42 of overtime lifted New York to a victory over Toronto. Trailing 5-4 late in the third period, the Islanders pulled goalie Thomas Greiss and tied it on Andrew Ladd’s deflection with 1:29 left. Josh Bailey had a goal and two assists, Ryan Strome a goal and an assist, and Nikolay Kulemin also scored for the Islanders. New York stopped a two-game skid and improved to 6-0-2 in its last eight at home. On the winning goal, Nelson got a pass from Bailey and beat Toronto goalie Frederik Andersen on the blocker side. That gave the Islanders their first win this season in a game they trailed after two periods (1-12-2). Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, Nikita Soshnikov, Zach Hyman and William Nylander scored for Toronto, which finished 2-4-0 on a season-high six-game trip.
