PITTSBURGH — Kris Letang stuffed a wraparound past Carter Hart 1:57 into overtime to lift Pittsburgh past Philadelphia.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Eetu Luostarinen scored 1:55 into overtime and Florida beat Washington for its best 10-game start at 9-0-1.
Luostarinen’s centering pass went off a Capitals player and into the net, moving the Panthers. The previous best 10-game start was 7-0-3 in 1996-97.
Maple Leafs 2, Lightning 1, OT
TORONTO — William Nylander scored on a power play at 3:43 of overtime to lift Toronto past Tampa Bay.
John Tavares tied it for Toronto with 41.1 seconds left in regulation and goalie Jack Campbell off for an extra attacker. In overtime, Tavares was slashed on a breakaway by Lightning captain Victor Hedman, and Nylander scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season on a one-timer.
Golden Knights 5, Senators 1
OTTAWA, Ontario — Jonathan Marchessault scored twice and Vegas beat Ottawa Senators 5-1 to cap a busy day. In the morning, Vegas acquired injured forward Jack Eichel in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. Eichel will have artificial disk replacement surgery soon.

Benn took a drop pass from Joe Pavelski and sent a shot just inside the goal post and past goalie Jacob Markstrom.
Kraken 5, Sabres 2
SEATTLE — Jordan Eberle had the first hat trick in franchise history with three goals in less than 10 minutes of the second and third periods, and the Seattle Kraken beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-2.
The loss capped a long, emotional day for the Sabres that began with the trade of former captain Jack Eichel to the Vegas Golden Knights and ended with Buffalo’s third straight on its West Coast swing.
Blues 5, Sharks 3
SAN JOSE — Brandon Saad scored twice in his second game back from the COVID-19 list and the St. Louis Blues used a three-goal second period to beat the San Jose Sharks 5-3.
Saad scored a short-handed goal in the first period and tied the game in the second with an even-strength goal as he looked back up to speed after four games following a positive test for COVID-19.
