Calgary @ Ottawa 4-5 SO
After Kyle Turris and Mika Zibanejad scored in the shootout, Senators goaltender Craig Anderson denied Sean Monahan to give the Senators the win, their first in five games at home. Flames goaltender Jonas Hiller left the game at 12:20 of the third period after Ryan collided with him. Hiller made 14 saves before he was replaced by Joni Ortio, who made five saves. After a quiet 38 minutes to start the game, the teams combined for seven goals in about 12 minutes and swapped the lead three times. The Flames made it a tied game for the fourth time on the night at 12:32 of the third period when Bennett's shot on the power play trickled over the goal line before Anderson could pull it out with his stick. The goal came after Ryan was penalized for goaltender interference when he collided with Hiller. The Senators scored two quick goals for the second time in the game when Turris and Pageau scored 17 seconds apart at 9:51 and 10:08 of the third period to take a 4-3 lead. The Flames had taken a 3-2 lead on goals by Colborne and Russell 57 seconds apart early in the third period after the Senators got goals from Smith and Ryan late in the second period for a 2-1 lead. When a section of glass was knocked out with 55 seconds left in the second period and the game tied 2-2, the officials sent the players to their respective dressing rooms for the intermission. When they returned, Ryan gave the Senators the lead with 13.5 seconds left in the second period.

Carolina @ NY Islanders 3-2 OT
Ron Hainsey scored 2:21 into overtime to lift the Hurricanes against the Islanders. After a turnover by the Islanders in their offensive zone, Jordan Staal carried the puck into the New York zone and slid a pass to a breaking Hainsey, who beat goaltender Thomas Greiss with a backhand shot for the victory. It was his second goal of the season. The Hurricanes tied the game 2-2 when Chris Terry finished a 3-on-2 rush by snapping a pass from Staal past Greiss with 5:04 remaining in the third period. The two assists for Staal were his first points of the season. Matt Martin opened the scoring 8:56 into the game by deflecting a Nick Leddy slap shot from the blue line past Lack for his first goal of the season to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead. Brock McGinn scored for the Hurricanes with 5:00 left in the first period to tie the game 1-1. The puck bounced over Martin's stick and went to McGinn, who snapped a shot from the slot past Greiss. It was his second goal of the season. Frans Nielsen put the Islanders back in front at 12:50 with a power-play goal. Nielsen skated from his own blue line into the Hurricanes' zone, cut to the net and took a high backhander that went past Lack.
New Jersey @ Philadelphia 4-1
Wells Fargo Center is becoming a special place for Kyle Palmieri. Palmieri scored the game-winning goal and had two assists to help the Devils to a 4-1 win.
Palmieri's game-winner and three-point night came on the two-year anniversary of his first game in Philadelphia, when he scored two goals, including the winner, for the Anaheim Ducks on Oct. 29, 2013. Travis Zajac scored two power-play goals, each off a pass from Palmieri, giving him seven points (four goals) in the past five games. Zajac had no points in his first four games. He missed a game because of an injury. The key sequence came early in the third period, when Palmieri and Zajac scored 64 seconds apart early in the third period to break open a 1-1 game and give New Jersey a 3-1 lead with 17:28 to play. Andy Greene scored his first goal of the season into an empty net with seven seconds left. Zajac scored at 18:12 of the second period to answer back after the Flyers took a 1-0 lead on Luke Schenn's first goal of the season at 15:04. Hakstol was particularly displeased with the fact that the Flyers had two bench minor penalties for too many men on the ice. The second led to Zajac's second power-play goal. Hakstol also was concerned that Zajac's power play goals each came from a pass into the middle of the ice. Palmieri found him for a redirection goal in the second period with a tape-to-tape diagonal seam pass that eluded two defensemen, Schenn and Nick Schultz. Palmieri also found Zajac alone between the hash marks for a goal on a rising backhanded shot over Mason's blocker in the third. Zajac's second goal came 64 seconds after Palmieri scored off of an individual rush he created with a blocked shot in the defensive end. Palmieri blocked Evgeny Medvedev's shot, raced to the loose puck and broke down the left side, his off side. He beat Mason with a hard wrist shot from the left circle that went into the top right corner of the net.
Montreal @ Edmonton 3-4
Leon Draisaitl started the rally with a goal late in the second period, then scored the game-winner off a pass from center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with 1:02 left in the third period to complete the comeback. Draisaitl, 20, was called up because Edmonton forwards Jordan Eberle, Rob Klinkhammer, Matt Hendricks and Lauri Korpikoski each is sidelined by an injury. Brendan Gallagher scored at 9:27 on the power play, tipping a P.K. Subban point shot past Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot, who made 18 saves. Torrey Mitchell put Montreal up 2-0 at 16:56, stripping Oilers defenseman Oscar Klefbom of the puck at the Oilers blue line and snapping a shot past Talbot. Alex Galchenyuk gave the Canadiens a 3-0 lead with 2:09 left, tapping in a cross-crease pass from defenseman Andrei Markov. Draisaitl scored with 52 seconds left in the second period to cut the lead to 3-1, taking a rebound off the end boards and managing to get the puck past Price. Draisaitl knocked the puck back toward the net, where it hit Price and crossed the line in midair before Alexei Emelin could knock it away. The goal was confirmed after video review. Davidson pulled the Oilers to within a goal with his first of the season. The play started with McDavid winning a battle in the corner for the puck and sending it back to Darnell Nurse at the point. Nurse slid the puck over to Davidson, who stepped into a shot from the blue line and beat Price. Pouliot tied the game at 10:43 on a breakaway, snapping a shot past Price. McDavid created the opportunity by winning a battle for the puck along the boards against Subban, then tipping it past Markov to Pouliot. Draisaitl scored the game-winner after Nugent-Hopkins won a race against David Desharnais for the puck behind the net and sent it out in front.
