Monday’s games

Red Wings 4, Hurricanes 3, OT

RALEIGH, N.C.

Andreas Athanasiou crashed into Eddie Lack as he scored in overtime, giving Detroit a victory over Carolina on a play that left the Hurricanes goalie with a frightening injury. Lack remained down for several minutes before he was taken off on a stretcher, with both teams remaining on the ice and forming a semicircle to watch him. Lack flashed a thumbs-up sign as he was wheeled away. Team spokesman Mike Sundheim said Lack was moving his arms and legs after he was taken off the ice.

Lightning 5, Blackhawks 4, OT

TAMPA, FLA.

Yanni Gourde had a breakaway goal 4:25 into overtime and Tampa Bay rallied from a three-goal deficit to beat Chicago. Victor Hedman set up the winner with his third assist of the game. Tampa Bay, which trails Boston by a point for the second Eastern Conference wild card, got two goals from Jonathan Drouin. Ondrej Palat and Anton Stralman also scored.

Predators 3, Islanders 1

NEW YORK

Viktor Arvidsson scored early in the second period, Jusse Saros stopped 24 shots and Nashville held on to beat New York for its fourth straight win.

Josh Bailey scored and Thomas Greiss finished with 28 saves for the Islanders.

Blues 4, Coyotes 1

ST. LOUIS

Jaden Schwartz scored twice and Jake Allen made 21 saves to help St. Louis continue its mastery over Arizona. St. Louis has won 10 straight games against Arizona, outscoring the Coyotes 42-13 in that time.

BUFFALO, N.Y.

Brian Gionta scored while playing his 1,000th career game and Buffalo beat Florida. Ryan O’Reilly, Zach Bogosian and Marcus Foligno also scored for the Sabres, who led 3-0 after Gionta’s goal 1:25 into the second period. The goal drew a large cheer from the crowd after the 15-year NHL veteran was honored during a pregame ceremony.
