Ullmark stops 36 shots, Sabres shutout Coyotes 3-0

BOSTON, Oct 14, (AP): David Pastrnak scored three times, giving him 101 goals in his career, and Patrice Bergeron had three assists as the Boston Bruins kept Detroit winless with an 8-2 victory over the Red Wings on Saturday.

It was the second career hat trick for Pastrnak, who has scored seven times in five games this season.

Jake DeBrusk scored twice and David Krejci had a pair of assists for the Bruins, who also got goals from Charlie McAvoy, Anders Bjork and Sean Kuraly.

Tuukka Rask had 32 saves to help Boston win its fourth straight while outscoring opponents 20-6 since getting shut out by Washington 7-0 in the season opener.

Filip Hronek and Dylan Larkin scored for the Red Wings, who fell to 0-5 for the first time since 1980. Jonathan Bernier had 31 saves. Detroit has lost its last 10 against Boston.

Golden Knights 1, Flyers 0 In Philadelphia, Cody Eakin scored with 1:25 left and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 26 shots to lead Vegas.

Eakin ended the scoreless tie with a sensational sequence for the winner. He made a dive for the puck to keep it away from Flyers center Sean Couturier in Philly’s end of the ice. Ryan Carpenter snared the puck and passed it back to Eakin, who fired it from the circle past Brian Elliott for the winner.

Elliott was pulled to give the Flyers the man-advantage and they still couldn’t solve Fleury.

Oilers 2, Rangers 1 In New York, Connor McDavid scored the go-ahead goal on the power play and added an assist, lifting Edmonton to its first win of the season.

McDavid scored his second of the season at 6:23 of the third period, redirecting the puck past goaltender Henrik Lundqvist with Rangers forward Vladislav Namesnikov in the penalty box for holding.

Cam Talbot made 23 saves against his former team for the Oilers.

The 21-year-old McDavid, who has led the league in points each of the past two seasons, has points on all five Oilers goals in three games this season.

Hurricanes 5, Wild 4, OT In St Paul, Minnesota, Sebastian Aho scored his second goal of the game in overtime to lift Carolina.

Justin Williams tied it for the Hurricanes with 1:09 left in the third period, and Carolina matched the best five-game start in franchise history by tying the 4-0-1 Hartford Whalers in 1995-96.

Aho added an assist while running his point streak to five games. Jordan Staal and Brett Pesce also scored for the Hurricanes.

Lightning 8, Blue Jackets 2 In Tampa, Florida, Victor Hedman, Cedric Paquette and Yanni Gourde had first-period goals, and Tampa Bay beat Columbus.

for Tampa Bay.

The Lightning, who led the NHL in goals last season, had scored just twice over 125 minutes in their first two games. Tampa Bay was held scoreless during the final 159:27 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Final by eventual Stanley Cup champion Washington.

Maple Leafs 4, Capitals 2 In Washington, Auston Matthews scored a goal in his sixth consecutive game to start the season, Frederick Andersen made 25 saves and Toronto beat Washington.

Moments after Andersen made several solid saves to preserve the lead, Matthews provided an insurance score with his NHL-leading 10th goal with 1:39 to play.

Josh Leivo scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period. Kasperi Kapanen had a goal and an assist and Par Lindholm also scored for Toronto, which has won four straight. Jake Gardiner had two assists.

Canucks 3, Panthers 2 In Sunrise, Florida, Bo Horvat scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period, leading Vancouver past Florida.

Antoine Roussel and Elias Pettersson also scored for the Canucks, and Anders Nilsson stopped 24 shots.

Horvat gave the Canucks their first lead when he took a nifty pass from Sven Baertschi in the left circle and sent a one-timer in at 6:11 of the final period.

Vincent Trocheck and Jonathan Huberdeau scored for the Panthers, who remain winless through three games. James Reimer made 27 saves. Canadiens 4, Penguins 3, SO In Montreal, Paul Byron and Jonathan Drouin scored in the shootout to lift Montreal past Pittsburgh.

Tomas Tatar had two goals and an assist, and Brendan Gallagher had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens. Antti Niemi stopped 25 shots through overtime in his first start of the season.

Dominik Simon, Kris Letang and Phil Kessel scored in regulation for the Penguins, and Casey DeSmith had 37 saves through overtime.

Predators 5, Islanders 2 In Nasville, Tennessee, Filip Forsberg scored twice, Viktor Arvidsson had a goal and an assist, and Nashville beat New York for the second time in eight days.

Calle Jarnkrok and Kyle Turris also scored for Nashville, which has won four of its first five games. Juuse Saros stopped 20 shots and won both games against the Islanders.

Brock Nelson and Andrew Ladd scored for New York, which lost 4-3 at home to the Predators last Saturday night. Robin Lehner finished with 24 saves.

Stars 5, Ducks 3 In Dallas, John Klingberg scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period, when Dallas scored on four of its team-record 30 shots, and the Stars beat Anaheim.

Alexander Radulov, Connor Carrick and Jamie Benn also scored for Dallas in the second. Tyler Seguin assisted on the goals by Radulov and Benn.

The barrage wiped out a 3-0 Anaheim lead and came against Ducks goalie John Gibson, who entered the game 3-0-1 with a 1.44 goals-against average.

Sabres 3, Coyotes 0 In Glendale, Arizona, Linus Ullmark stopped 36 shots for his first career shutout, and rookie Rasmus Dahlin scored his first career goal to lead Buffalo.

Jeff Skinner had a goal and an assist, and Conor Sheary also scored for the Sabres. Ullmark, making his season debut, appeared in his 27th career NHL game.

Arizona failed to score for the third time in their first four games – including the second time at home.

Senators 5, Kings 1 In Ottawa, Ontario, Chris Wideman got his first two goals in nearly a year, and Craig Anderson made 36 saves to lead Ottawa.

Wideman tore a hamstring last November and missed the rest of the season. The 28-year-old had been without a point in his first four games this season.

Chris Tierney, Mark Stone and Colin White also scored for the Senators and Matt Duchene, Brady Tkachuk and Thomas Chabot each had two assists.

Flames 3, Avalanche 2, OT In Denver, Elias Lindholm scored the tying goal with 1:54 left in regulation and Johnny Gaudreau won it in the first minute overtime as the Flames beat the Avalanche.

Lindholm sent the game into OT by forcing a turnover in the Colorado zone and taking the puck up close and firing it past goalie Semyon Varlamov for the equalizer.

Colorado, which led 2-0 after the first period, couldn’t stop Gaudreau on a breakaway. He got behind the Avalanche defense and knocked home the game-winner from up close.
