Wednesday’s games

Maple Leafs 5, Senators 4

TORONTO

Morgan Rielly broke a tie midway through the third period for Toronto. Rielly started a rush after an Ottawa turnover, passed to Zach Hyman, and took Hyman’s backhand pass alone in front of the goal for his 14th of the season. It also was Rielly’s career-high 53rd point. Toronto scored three goals in four minutes late in the second period to take a 4-2 lead. Auston Matthews, fresh off news of a contract extension, scored to make it 3-2, and Mitch Marner set up goals by Andreas Johnsson and John Tavares. Thomas Chabot and Magnus Paajarvi scored for Ottawa early in the third to tie it. Hyman opened the scoring for Toronto in the first, and Paajarvi tied it late in the period. Matt Duchene also scored for Ottawa. Toronto won its third straight and handed Ottawa its fifth straight loss.

Rangers 4, Bruins 3, OT

NEW YORK

Tony DeAngelo scored the decisive goal in the seventh round of the shootout and New York rallied from two goals down in the third period. Mika Zibanejad, Kevin Hayes and Filip Chytil scored for New York and Alexandar Georgiev finished with 27 saves. The Rangers won for the second time in five games (2-2-1) after a stretch in which they won four of five. Danton Heinen, David Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron scored for Boston, Brad Marchand had two assists, and Jaroslav Halak stopped 36 shots.

The Bruins had a two-game winning streak end.
