SUNDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS

Josh Morrissey one-timed in a goal with 7:17 left to end Minnesota’s rally from four goals down and give the Jets a chaotic 5-4 victory over the Wild. It was Minnesota’s fifth straight loss. The last time the Wild lost five in a row was the final five regular season games last spring. It has two wins in its last 10 games. Winnipeg led 4-0 early in the second period after scoring on four of its first eight shots, but the Wild rallied with four straight goals in the second period. … Lukas Sedlak and Brandon Dubinsky scored on penalty shots and the Blue Jackets clinched their third playoff berth in franchise history with a 4-1 victory over the Devils. This was the third time in NHL history that a team scored twice in a game on penalty shots. Thomas Gradin and Ivan Hlinka of Vancouver did it against Detroit in 1982, and Ryane Clowe and Joe Thornton of San Jose converted against Washington in 2009. … Carey Price made 30 saves for his 33rd win of the season and the Canadiens defeated the Senators 4-1 to sweep the homeand-home series. Tomas Plekanec, Jordie Benn, Paul Byron and Nathan Beaulieu scored for the Canadiens. … Sidney Crosby again picked up the slack with Evgeni Malkin out, getting his 10th career hat trick to lead the Penguins past the Panthers 4-0. Crosby’s natural hat trick came in a span of 11 minutes between the second and the third period, pushing his goal total to an NHL-high 40 and moving him into a tie with Edmonton’s Conner McDavid for the league scoring lead with 80 points. … Sean Monahan scored as the Flames kept the Kings at bay before pulling away for a 5-2 win.
