Johansson, Capitals cool off Blackhawks in OT
Jay Beagle scored twice and Marcus Johansson scored in overtime as the Washington Capitals snapped the Chicago Blackhawks’ seven-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory.
Johansson’s game-winner sailed over the shoulder of Corey Crawford after Marian Hossa forced overtime with a goal with 22 seconds remaining in regulation and with the Blackhawks skating with a one-man advantage.
Hossa tapped in an Artemi Panarin shot, which slid through the legs of Capitals defenseman John Carlson and found its way onto Hossa’s stick.
Braden Holtby made 32 saves and made Beagle’s two first-period goals stand up for Washington.
Devils 2, Sabres 1 (OT)

Yohann Auvitu scored in regulation for New Jersey, while Keith Kinkaid made 25 saves.
Matt Moulson scored in regulation for Buffalo. Anders Nilsson made 41 saves.

Avalanche 3, Jets 2 (OT)
Rene Bourque was credited with his second goal after Nikolaj Ehlers shot the puck into his own net 1:23 into overtime, lifting Colorado to a victory over Winnipeg.
The Avalanche controlled the puck for much of overtime, but it was the Jets who beat themselves. Ehlers had the puck along the boards and backhanded it toward his own net and between the legs of goaltender Michael Hutchinson.
Bourque got credit for the goal because he was the last Colorado player to touch the puck.
