Red Wings top Senators in overtime

-

DETROIT — Andreas Athanasiou scored 6 seconds into overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.

It was the second goal of the night for Athanasiou, who also had a penalty shot stopped in the third period. Dylan Larkin took the opening faceoff in overtime and, after the puck went forward a bit, both Athanasiou and Ottawa standout Erik Karlsson reached for it.

Patrick Sharp broke a tie early in the third period and Chicago beat New York on the road. Nick Schmaltz, Vinnie Hinostroza, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane also scored for Chicago.

The Vegas Golden Knights have signed leading scorer Jonathan Marchessau­lt to a $30 million, six-year contract extension. The 27-year-old forward has 15 goals and 22 assists in 37 games for Vegas, which leads the Pacific Division.

Nashville Predators forward and leading scorer Filip Forsberg will miss four to six weeks with an upperbody injury. Forsberg has 15 goals and 34 points in 37 games this season.

Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said goaltender Semyon Varlamov is “day-to-day” after suffering a lower-body injury. Varlamov felt some soreness after making a move in net Tuesday night against Winnipeg. He left late in the second period and was replaced by Jonathan Bernier. Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos will serve as captain of the Atlantic Division team in the NHL All-Star 3-on-3 tournament this month in Tampa, Florida. Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin earned his 12th career All-Star nod as the fan-voted captain of the Metropolit­an Division. In the West, Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban was voted captain for the Metropolit­an Division and Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid captain of the Pacific Division.
