MONDAY’S GAMES
HOME team in caps.
COYOTES 1, Blues 0: Darcy Kuemper stopped 24 shots, Clayton Keller scored and the Coyotes closed out their sevengame series against the Blues with a 1-0 win Monday. The shifting dynamics of playing hockey in a pandemic led to the Blues and Coyotes playing seven straight games against each other, a first in NHL or NBA regular-season history.
Islanders 3, SABRES 1: Semyon Varlamov stopped 20 shots and the New York Islanders extended their point streak to seven games with a 3-1 win over the COVID-19-depleted Buffalo Sabres, who were playing their first game in two weeks on Monday night.
Senators 6, MAPLE LEAFS 5 (OT): Evgenii Dadonov scored his second goal of the game in overtime and the Senators overcame a four-goal deficit to win for the first time in franchise history, stunning the Maple Leafs 6-5 on Monday.
Panthers 6, LIGHTNING 4: Jonathan Huberdeau scored and led a balanced attack that included goals from six players, and the Florida Panthers gained on Central Division-leading Tampa Bay with a 6-4 victory over the Lightning on Monday night. Florida won two of the three games between the teams in a five-day span and pulled within a point of the Lightning in the standings.
HURRICANES 7, Blue Jackets 3: Brock McGinn and Teuvo Teravainen scored 26 seconds apart in the second period as the Carolina Hurricanes erased an early deficit and beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-3 on Monday night. McGinn finished with two goals and two assists, and Teravainen added three assists.
Blackhawks 3, RED WINGS 2 (OT): Dominik Kubalik scored his second goal of the game 4:43 into overtime, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Monday night. Kubalik and Mattias Janmark staked the Blackhawks to a two-goal lead in the first period that they slowly lost before stepping up in the extra session.
