NHL SCOREBOARD
TUESDAY’S RESULTS
Panthers 4, Red Wings 1: Carter Verhaeghe scored two goals to lift host Florida over Detroit. Brett Connolly scored his 100th NHL goal and Jonathan Huberdeau also scored for the Panthers, who have won three straight games. Sergei Bobrovsky made 35 saves.
Rangers 5, Capitals 2: Artemi Panarin had a goal and two assists and New York scored five unanswered goals to beat visiting Washington. Kaapo Kakko, Adam Fox, Filip Chytil and Pavel Buchnevich also scored for the Rangers. Igor Shesterkin made 30 saves, improving to 3-0-0 in his career against the Capitals.
Canadiens 4, Oilers 0: Brendan Gallagher and Artturi Lehkonen each had a goal and an assist, and host Montreal returned from lengthy break and beat Edmonton. The Canadiens were playing for the first time since March 20. Two days later, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Joel Armia went on the NHL’s COVID list. As a result, Montreal had four games postponed — three with Edmonton and another against Ottawa.
Blue Jackets 3, Lightning 1: David Savard scored his first goal in two years, and Columbus won at Tampa Bay. Elvis Merzlikins stopped 37 shots, helping the Blue Jackets snap a four-game winless streak. Oliver Bjorkstrand and Cam Atkinson also scored for Columbus.
Bruins 5, Devils 4 (SO): Charlie Coyle and David Pastrnak scored in the shootout, and Boston rallied to beat visiting New Jersey. Brad Marchand, Charlie McAvoy, Nick Ritchie and Matt Grzelcyk scored in regulation for the Bruins, who rallied with two goals in the final 9:38 of the third period. Jaroslav Halak stopped 31 shots.
Blackhawks 2, Hurricanes 1: Dylan Strome and Alex DeBrincat scored in a 3:33 span early in the second period, Kevin Lankinen made 31 saves and Chicago beat visiting Carolina. The Blackhawks ended the Hurricanes’ three-game winning streak and handed Carolina its second regulation loss in 15 games (11-2-2) despite being outshot 32-16.
Predators 3, Stars 2 (OT): Eeli Tolvanen scored at 1:29 of overtime to give host Nashville a win over Dallas. Calle Jarnkrok had a goal and an assist and Roman Josi also scored for the Predators, who extended its win streak to a season-best six games.
Monday’s late results
Jets 5, Flames 1: Mark Scheifele had two goals and an assist to help Winnipeg win at Calgary.
Sharks 4, Wild 3 (SO): Erik Karlsson scored twice in regulation and then added the deciding goal in the eighth round of the shootout to lead host San Jose past Minnesota.
Notable
The Flyers placed defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere on waivers on Tuesday, a surprising move that comes as Philadelphia is attempting to stay in the playoff hunt. Gostisbehere has five goals and six assists for 11 points in 25 games, and he was benched for a three-game stretch two weeks ago. He produced three assists in five games since returning to action.
