Vegas hits jackpot — 3-goal flurry at end

-

Jonathan Marchessau­lt scored the go-ahead goal and added an assist as the Vegas Golden Knights scored three times in the final two minutes Tuesday night for a 4-2 victory at Calgary.

Just 10 seconds after Erik Haula tied it 2-2 at 18:14 of the third period, Marchessau­lt got around Mark Giordano and beat Calgary goalie Mike Smith over his glove.

David Perron scored into an empty net and Reilly Smith also had a goal for Western Conference-leading Vegas (33-12-4) in the opener of a six-game road trip.

Matthew Tkachuk got his seventh goal in the past eight games for the Flames (25-17-8), who lost in regulation for the first time in 12 games.

The tying goal was a weird one. Calgary forward Michael Frolik got the puck in his own end and ended up firing it toward a surprised Smith. He stopped it with his pad but Haula put in the rebound, stunning the crowd.

Canucks 4, Avalanche 3: Sven Baertschi scored at 1:07 of overtime for host Vancouver. The winger took a feed in the extra period and ripped his 11th of the season high past the glove of Colorado’s Jonathan Bernier. Bo Horvat, Michael Del Zotto and Daniel Sedin scored for the Canucks; Christophe­r Tanev added three assists.

Ducks 3, Bruins 1: Adam Henrique scored twice and visiting Anaheim ended Boston’s 18-game point streak. Jakob Silfverber­g also scored for the Ducks, the first team to beat the Bruins in regulation since Dec. 14.

Blues 3, Canadiens 1: Carter Hutton made 33 saves and Ivan Barbashev broke a scoreless tie in the second period for host St. Louis.

Jets 3, Lightning 1: Michael Hutchinson made 23 saves in his first NHL start of the season as host Winnipeg beat league-leading Tampa Bay, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. It was the first of 10 straight home games for the Jets.

Kings 3, Stars 0: Darcy Kuemper made 28 saves in his ninth career shutout, leading visiting Los Angeles. Paul LaDue, Drew Doughty and Alec Martinez scored as the Kings picked up their second consecutiv­e win.

Wild 3, Blue Jackets 2: Zach Parise and Chris Stewart scored in the shootout, and Devan Dubnyk had 28 saves for visiting Minnesota.

Panthers 4, Islanders 1: Harri Sateri stopped 32 shots for his first career win and Florida won in New York. The 28-year-old rookie, who spent the past three seasons in the KHL, was 0-3-0 with a 4.59 goals-against mark.

Hurricanes 2, Senators 1: Sebastian Aho and Victor Rask scored in the third period for host Carolina. Ottawa has lost six consecutiv­e games.

Devils 3, Sabres 1: Taylor Hall scored in his first game after missing three with an injury to his right hand, and New Jersey snapped a four-game skid with a win in Buffalo.

Blackhawks 2, Predators 1: Anton Forsberg made 42 saves, and Vinnie Hinostroza had a goal and an assist for visiting Chicago.
