Pens see 10-game streak halted

Dallas’ Roope Hintz and Joe Pavelski scored 1:15 apart late in the third period and the host Stars stopped Pittsburgh’s winning streak at 10 games, beating the Penguins 3-2 on Saturday.

Hintz scored on a backhander with 3:46 left after Pavelski converted off a rebound with 5:01 to go, sending the Stars to their fourth straight win. Hintz and Pavelski share the team lead with 13 goals, and it was Hintz’s fourth winner this season.

“In the first (period), we were just giving them a little bit too much respect,” Stars coach Rick Bowness said. “Then I think in the second and the third, we started to play Dallas Stars hockey.”

Denis Gurianov also scored and Jake Oettinger stopped 27 shots for Dallas. Jason Robertson assisted on all three goals and has a 10-game home points streak.

The two third-period goals capped a period in which Dallas outshot Pittsburgh 15-8 after being outshot 21-17 before in the first two.

“Our game got better as it went,” said Pavelski, who has four goals and four assists in the past five games. “There was a lot of energy in the building.”

Bruins 5, Lightning 2: David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand each scored twice and Linus Ullmark made 27 saves for visiting Boston, which has won four of five in January.

Bruins left wing Nick Foligno left in the first period with a lower-body injury. He needed assistance to skate off the ice.

In the teams’ first meeting, in Boston on Dec. 4, the Lightning escaped with a 3-2 overtime win. On Saturday, the Bruins made sure they didn’t give away two points.

“There’s never a free pass,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said before Saturday’s game. “The games are tough. And you kind of learn a little bit about your team when you play these guys.”

Panthers 4, Hurricanes 3: Anthony Duclair scored at 2:53 of overtime as visiting Florida extended its points streak to six games (5-0-1).

In the extra period, Duclair’s fifth goal in six games since the holiday break came after a Carolina turnover near the blue line. It was the Panthers’ first shot in overtime.

Carolina goalie Alex Lyon, summoned with Antti Raanta out of the lineup with an apparent ailment, had 32 saves in his second NHL game of the season. The Hurricanes’ Frederik Andersen got a win Friday night against Calgary, but that was his first full game in about three weeks as he had been on COVID-19 protocols in late December.

Blue Jackets 4, Devils 3: Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice to help host Columbus halt a threegame skid.

Boone Jenner and Igor Chinakhov also scored for the Blue Jackets, who rebounded from Thursday’s loss at New Jersey and beat the Devils on home ice for the sixth straight time.

Avalanche 5, Maple Leafs 4: Devon Toews scored 1:12 into overtime to complete host Colorado’s comeback from a threegoal deficit.

The Avalanche trailed 4-1 before Cale Makar, Gabriel Landeskog and J.T. Compher scored by the midway point of the third period to tie it.
