NHL ROUNDUP

-

Islanders 2, Blues 1 (OT)

Valtteri Filppula scored 1:37 into overtime and New York beat St. Louis on Tuesday night for its 12th win in 15 games. Jordan Eberle had a goal in the first period for New York, and Robin Lehner stopped 30 shots. David Perron scored the tying goal in the third period for the Blues, and Jordan Binnington — making his fourth straight start and fourth of his career — finished with 23 saves. St. Louis had won three straight and five of its previous seven. On the winner, Filppula jumped on the ice, got a pass from Mathew Barzal and skated in on Binnington before beating him from the right side for his 10th. Perron tied it at 6:07 of the third as he got a pass from Ryan O'Reilly from behind the net, and put it past Lehner for his team-leading 17th. It extended Perron's career-high point streak to 12 games, giving him six goals and 15 assists in the stretch.

Rangers 6, Hurricanes 2

Mika Zibanejad had two goals and two assists to help New York beat Carolina. Pavel Buchnevich and Tony DeAngelo each scored twice and Mats Zuccarello added three assists as the Rangers won for only the second time in eight games. Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for his 444th win, one behind Terry Sawchuk for sixth place on the NHL's career list. Saku Maenalanen had two goals and Curtis McElhinney stopped 22 shots but the Hurricanes lost for just the second time since the new year.

Blue Jackets 4, Devils 1

Joonas Korpisalo had 29 saves, three Columbus players recorded a goal and an assist and the Blue Jackets beat New Jersey. Top-liners Artemi Panarin, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Cam Atkinson carried the offensive load, and Boone Jenner also scored as Columbus won its fourth straight. The Blue Jackets have won six of their last eight games and 11 of the last 14 while sparring with Washington and Pittsburgh atop the Metropolit­an Division. Korpisalo has started three of the last four games ahead of star Sergei Bobrovsky and won each time. The 24-year-old Finn could soon find himself the team's No.1 goalie as Bobrovsky has refused to sign a contract extension with Columbus and may be traded before the deadline next month.

Late Monday Canadiens 3, Bruins 2

Jeff Petry scored 15 seconds into overtime, batting the puck out of the air and past Tuukka Rask to lead Montreal to a victory over Boston. Carey Price stopped 41 shots for the Canadiens. Paul Byron scored a short-handed goal, and Brendan Gallagher also scored to help Montreal earn its third victory in four tries. Rask made 19 saves but lost for the first time in his last six starts. David Krejci scored a power-play goal — with Rask pulled for a 6-on-4 — with just 38 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime.
