Flames defeat Jets, extend streak to 10

-

Elias Lindholm's goahead goal with 47 seconds remaining extended his goal streak to eight games and the Calgary Flames tied a franchise record with their 10th consecutiv­e victory, winning 3-1 over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.

Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli, into an empty net, also scored for Calgary, which wrapped up a perfect seven-game homestand.

The 10-game winning streak ties a franchise record. It was done on two occasions, the previous time was in 2016-17 with the streak beginning five years ago to this day. The other time was in 1978-79 when the franchise was still in Atlanta.

HURRICANES 4, FLYERS 3, OT >> Brett Pesce scored 4 minutes, 42 seconds into overtime, Vincent Trocheck had a goal and an assist and Metropolit­an Division-leading Carolina won at Philadelph­ia.

Nino Niederreit­er and Teuvo Teravainen also scored for the Hurricanes, who won their third straight.

Gerry Mayhew, Patrick Brown and Oskar Lindblom tallied goals for the Flyers. Philadelph­ia, playing its second contest of a clubrecord eight-game homestand, lost its fifth in a row and 18th in the past 20.

The game appeared headed for a shootout at the expiration of the fiveminute 3-on-3 session before Trocheck's pass on a 2-on-1 was corralled out of the air by Pesce, who shot high over Martin Jones for his fourth goal of the season.

BRUINS 5, AVALANCHE 1 >> David Pastrnak had two goals and an assist and host Boston rolled past Western Conference-leading Colorado.

CANADIENS 5, MAPLE LEAFS
