NHL - Results - Saturday, October 24, 2015

New Jersey @ Buffalo 4-3
Mike Cammalleri tied the game 2-2 8:57 into the second period with his third goal of the season and set up David Schlemko for his first goal of the season with 48 seconds left in the period for a 3-2 lead. Henrique's second goal, his sixth of the season, came shorthanded with 10:45 left in the third period. He picked up a loose puck and beat Sabres goalie Linus Ullmark on a breakaway with a backhand. Tyler Ennis gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead 8:42 into the first period with his third goal of the season on a slap shot that went over the glove of Devils goalie Cory Schneider. Henrique tied the game with 50 seconds left in the period. Ryan O'Reilly's third goal of the season gave Buffalo a 2-1 lead 2:31 into the second period, but Cammalleri's goal at 8:57 tied the game again. Jack Eichel scored his third goal of the season, on a power play with 45 seconds left in the third period. Evander Kane left the game with 9:35 left in the third period with a lower-body injury. Kane was checked by Schlemko during a Sabres power play and stayed down on the ice. He favored his left leg and was helped to the locker room.

Toronto @ Montreal - 3-5
The Canadiens are still perfect. All nine of the Canadiens' wins have come in regulation, breaking the NHL record for most consecutive regulation wins at the start of a season they shared with the 1975-76 Buffalo Sabres. The Canadiens are the only team without a loss of any kind. They are one victory short of the League record for the longest winning streak to start a season, a mark set by the 1993-94 Maple Leafs and matched by 2006-07 Sabres. Toronto had one overtime victory during its streak, and three of the Sabres' 10 wins came in shootouts. Pacioretty scored Montreal's first shorthanded goal of the season to give the Canadiens their third two-goal lead of the period, which saw Toronto end with a 23-11 advantage in shots on goal. Gallagher made it 5-2 with 13.8 seconds left in the period when he tipped Subban's slap pass into the net from the left edge of the crease. It was his third goal in two nights and the Canadiens' second power-play goal of the game. The Canadiens took a 1-0 lead at 10:53 of the first when Subban drove a power-play slap shot through Bernier for his first goal of the season. Montreal twice took a two-goal lead only to have Toronto close within one during a stretch in which the teams combined for four goals within 4:42. Eller put the Canadiens up 2-0 with his third at 1:54 before Komarov fired a rebound past price at 2:37 for his fourth of the season to draw Toronto within 2-1. Desharnais put Montreal up 3-1 when he got credit for his second goal at 4:24. He put a backhand pass into the slot that hit the stick and skate of Maple Leafs forward Michael Grabner before sliding past Bernier and into the net. Van Riemsdyk's third goal of the season at 6:36 cut the Canadiens' lead to 3-2. But Pacioretty scored his seventh at 15:30, an unassisted goal on a shot from the left side with Eller off for high-sticking. The Maple Leafs had a two-man advantage for 55 seconds after Montreal's Devante Smith-Pelly was called for slashing at 15:41. Price made a save with the tip of his right pad on a Dion Phaneuf drive just after Eller's penalty expired, then gloved a shot by Komarov before the end of the second power play. Rielly's goal at 7:11 of the third period marked the first time Montreal has allowed more than two goals in a game. The Canadiens have outscored their opponents 14-2 in the third period and 35-12 overall. Montreal has trailed once this season, for 2:57 in the second period of a 4-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings on Oct. 17.

Phoenix @ Ottawa 4-1
The three-goal performance was a big step for Mikkel Boedker, whose 2014-15 season was cut short after 45 games when he needed his spleen removed. The Senators struggled again in their own zone. Boedker skated around Erik Karlsson to open the scoring in the first period. After Ceci tied the game in the second, Richardson put the Coyotes ahead with some gritty play in front of the net, putting in a rebound while on his stomach at 14:31 of the third period.

Ottawa's problems in its own zone resulted in Boedker taking advantage of a sloppy turnover to make it 3-1 at 15:49. He scored an empty-net goal at 17:59 to complete the hat trick.
NY Rangers @ Philadelphia 2-3 SO
Sam Gagner, going first in the shootout, waited for Lundqvist to reach with his stick, then pulled the puck around him and lifted a backhand shot into the top of the net. The Rangers thought they had the go-ahead goal at 11:45 of the second period when a loose puck bounced off New York's Jarret Stoll and past Mason, but referees waved the goal off because of goaltender interference, and the call was upheld after a coach's challenge. Brassard's power-play goal at 4:48 of the second tied the game 2-2. His shot from inside the blue line went off the stick of Flyers forward Ryan White and past Mason. Laughton put the Flyers ahead 2-1 at 2:07 of the second period with a wrist shot from the left circle. It was his first goal since Dec. 20, 2014, a span of 21 games. Miler tied the game with his first goal of the season at 13:30 of the first period. Mason stopped Jesper Fast on a 3-on-2 Rangers break, but the rebound went back to Rangers defenseman Keith Yandle, who backhanded a shot on net that Oscar Lindberg tipped. Mason stopped that too, but the rebound bounced to Miller, who scored from the right post. Moments after Mason made a tremendous stick save, spinning on his knees to reach back to rob Lindberg, Streit gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead at 11:15 of the first period with his second goal, a slap shot from the blue line that went past Lundqvist through traffic.
Detroit @ Vancouver 3-2 OT
Petr Mrazek kept the Red Wings in the game long enough to mount a comeback, so it was only fitting the goaltender also set up the winning goal in overtime.
Mrazek made 30 saves before his long pass sent Gustav Nyquist in on a breakaway for the overtime winner with 1:10 left, giving the Red Wings a 3-2 come-from-behind victory against the Canucks at Rogers Arena on Saturday.
Mrazek caught the Canucks on a line change and hit Nyquist with a pass at the far blue line. Nyquist skated in alone and snapped a low shot past goalie Ryan Miller on the glove side. The Red Wings had lost four straight and trailed 2-0 entering the third period, but Teemu Pulkkinen started the Detroit comeback on a partial breakaway assisted by Tomas Tatar 4:25 into the third period, and Tatar tied it with a power-play goal 2:34 later. Tatar and first-year Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill credited captain Henrik Zetterberg for sparking the comeback with his effort throughout the game and his message during the second intermission. Christopher Tanev opened the scoring 13:03 into the first period, taking a pass as the trailer on a rush and beating a partially screened Mrazek low to the glove side from in between the top of the faceoff circles. It was the second straight game the Canucks converted with the man-advantage after starting the season 1-for-20. Brandon Sutter's goal at 8:02 of the second period was the third by the Canucks' second power-play unit, one more than it scored all of last season. It was Sutter's third of the season. Vancouver had several chances to extend the lead, but Mrazek kept it close with several great saves on odd-man rushes and scrambles. He got some help from Detroit defenseman Danny DeKeyser, who batted a puck out of the air as it was headed across the goal line behind the sprawling goalie in the second period. Pulkkinen started the comeback and scored his fourth goal by holding off rookie defenseman Ben Hutton on a partial breakaway and pulling Miller across his crease right to left before shooting the puck between the goalie's legs as he moved. Tatar scored to tie the game with Yannick Weber, inserted into the lineup to spark the power play, in the penalty box for high sticking. He used a good screen by Justin Abdelkader to beat Miller high on the blocker side from the left faceoff circle for his second goal.
