Jackets clip Caps in OT win

Artemi Panarin scored 6:02 into overtime to give the Blue Jackets a 4-3 victory over the Capitals on Thursday night in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series in Washington.

Panarin made an incredible individual move to drive by fellow Russian Dmitry Orlov and went backhand-to-forehand to beat Philipp Grubauer top shelf.

Alexander Wennberg, Thomas Vanek and Seth Jones scored in regulation, and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 27 shots for Columbus.

Wennberg left the game with an upper-body injury in the third period and didn’t return. Jones, son of former NBA player Popeye Jones, drew a penalty late in the third period, almost put the puck in his own net and tied it on the ensuing power play with 4:26 left in regulation to send the game to overtime.

Grubauer, who got the nod to start over Braden Holtby, made 23 saves in his second career playoff start for Washington.

Bruins 5, Maple Leafs 1

In Boston, Brad Marchand, David Backes and David Krejci each scored a power-play goal, and Tuukka Rask stopped 26 shots to lead the Bruins over the Maple Leafs in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

David Pastrnak and Sean Kuraly also scored for Boston. Zach Hyman scored Toronto’s only goal, and Andersen made 35 saves.

Predators 5, Avalanche 2

In Nashville, Tenn., Filip Forsberg scored twice in the third period and the Predators rallied to beat the Avalanche in Game 1 of the firstround Western Conference series.

Pekka Rinne made 25 saves, including a handful on Colorado’s Hart Trophy candidate Nathan MacKinnon.

Kings D-man suspended

Kings defenseman Drew Doughty was suspended for one game for an illegal check to the head of Vegas forward William Carrier, who is dayto-day with an upper-body injury.
