At Canadiens 3, Rangers 1:

Lars Eller broke a tie midway through the second period, and Max Pacioretty added a goal the third to give Montreal a victory over the New York Rangers.

Tomas Plekanec netted a short-handed goal in the first period, and Carey Price made 34 saves for Montreal in his first meeting with New York since Chris Kreider knocked him out in the first game of last season’s Eastern Conference finals. Devils 3, at Senators 2 (OT): Jaromir Jagr scored a power-play goal 3:39 into overtime, and New Jersey beat Ottawa on an emotional night in Canada’s capital.

It was Ottawa’s first game since the shooting death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial on Wednesday. A touching tribute took place prior to puck drop as players and fans united to commemorate the loss of Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed in a hit-and-run attack Monday near Montreal. Penguins 3, at Predators 0: Sidney Crosby had a goal and two assists and Pittsburgh handed Nashville its first loss in regulation. At Wild 7, Lightning 2: Jason Zucker had two goals, and Minnesota routed Tampa Bay. At Blues 3, Blackhawks 2: Jaden Schwartz, Ryan Reaves and Dmitrij Jaskin all scored, and St. Louis snapped a two-game losing streak with a win against Chicago. Capitals 3, at Flames 1: Joel Ward scored twice — including the game winner — to lead Washington to a victory over Calgary. Buffalo San Jose First Period— None.
