NHL ROUNDUP

-

Bruins 6, Red Wings 5 (OT)

Brad Marchand completed his hat trick 34 seconds into overtime and Boston, which twice squandered a two-goal lead in regulation, escaped with a victory over Detroit on Tuesday night.

It was a team-record 11th regular-season overtime goal for Marchand, who also had two assists.

Torey Krug had two goals and two assists, and David Pastrnak had three assists for the Bruins, who won for the fourth game in a row.

Anton Khudobin made 30 saves for Boston, which led 2-0 after 52 seconds and never trailed but needed overtime after Martin Frk made it 5-5 midway through the third period.

Anthony Mantha had two goals and two assists for Detroit, which has lost four straight, seven of nine and 17 of 26 since it last topped .500 on Jan. 5.

Jared Coreau was beaten by the first two shots he faced and stopped just 12 of 16 shots before he was replaced 3:27 into the second period. Jimmy Howard faced 19 shots and saved 17 of them.

The Bruins led 2-0, 4-2 and 5-3 before Mantha scored his second goal in a four-minute span to make it a one-goal game with a little more than four minutes left in the second. It stayed that way until Frk was left alone in the slot, falling to his knees as he swatted the pass from Tyler Bertuzzi into the net with 10:14 remaining in regulation.

The Red Wings attacked first in the overtime but got a bad bounce off an official near their own blue line, allowing the Bruins to move in on the net. Marchand picked up a rebound off Krug’s shot, moved it to his backhand and scored the winner.

Krug and Jake DeBrusk scored 15 seconds apart in the opening minute of the game. But the Red Wings tied it, getting a power play goal from Frans Nielsen 84 seconds later and a goal from Mike Green about five minutes after that. Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is out for at least a month with a sprained left MCL. General manager Don Sweeney said earlier Tuesday that McAvoy will be evaluated in four weeks. He was injured Saturday in the opening shift of Boston’s 2-1 overtime win over Montreal

Jets 3, Rangers 0

Patrik Laine got his fourth hat trick and set a career high with his 38th goal, lifting Winnipeg over New York. The 19-year-old star had been the youngest ever with three hat tricks — getting there at 18 years, 302 days — but it had been over a year since his last three-goal game. He joins Jimmy Carson and Dale Hawerchuk as the only players with four hat tricks before turning 20. Laine has at least a point in nine straight games (13 goals, six assists). He’s two goals behind Washington’s Alex Ovechkin for the NHL lead this season. Steve Mason made 31 saves as the Jets extended their winning streak to three. Winnipeg has earned points in seven straight road games (6-0-1).

Henrik Lundqvist made his 798th career appearance and stopped 31 shots as the Rangers lost for the first time in four games. Lundqvist made 50 saves in each of his previous two games.

Devils 6, Canadiens 4

Taylor Hall extended his point-scoring streak to 19 games, Travis Zajac scored two power-play goals and New Jersey snapped a three-game skid.

Hall’s consecutiv­e-points streak is the longest in the NHL this season. Hall, who had two assists, has recorded points in his last 26 appearance­s dating to Jan. 2. He missed three games before the All-Star break with a thumb injury during that span.

Stefan Noesen, Blake Coleman, Patrick Maroon and Brian Boyle also scored for the Devils. Keith Kinkaid made 29 saves.

Jacob de la Rose scored twice for the Canadiens
