Philadelphia @ NY Rangers 3-0
Wayne Simmonds opened the scoring at 12:24 of the second period with a breakaway goal off a give-and-go play with Read. It was the key moment in a dominating period by the Flyers. In addition to scoring, the Flyers outshot the Rangers 18-7 in the second. Couturier gave the Flyers a 2-0 lead when he scored off a rebound of Simmonds' shot at 3:06 of the third period. Raanta made a pad save, but the puck came to Couturier in the slot and he shoveled it in. Simmonds also scored an empty-net goal with 49.3 seconds left.
Washington @ Toronto 4-2
Jonathan Bernier, making his first start since Nov. 15, made his first save of the game 2:30 in off a shot by Kuznetsov from the slot, but Bernier wasn't as fortunate on the second. Chimera broke into the Toronto zone on the left wing and took a wrist shot from the top of the faceoff circle that handcuffed the Maple Leafs goalie. Chimera's seventh goal of the season was unassisted at 3:43. The Maple Leafs tied it 1-1 at 6:17 when Dion Phaneuf slipped in low in the Washington zone and passed the puck to the front of the net. Peter Holland was in the high slot and his low shot went past goalie Braden Holtby for his fourth goal of the season. Tom Wilson gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead at 4:06 of the second period. Bernier stopped a dump in and the puck was lying 5 feet in front of the net. A Maple Leafs defenseman overskated the puck and Wilson was there to grab it and score his first goal of the season, his first in 36 games dating to last season. Nine seconds after John Carlson was penalized for interference, the Maple Leafs power play tied the score 2-2. Phaneuf's slap shot from the point was tipped past Holtby by Leo Komarov. It was his eighth goal of the season, tying his single-season NHL high set last season. The Capitals made it 3-2 on their power play. Ovechkin's slap shot hit Roman Polak and deflected off Marcus Johansson past Bernier at 11:08, 22 seconds after Nazem Kadri was sent off for high-sticking [go figure]. The Capitals made it 4-2 at 12:24 with another power-play goal. Justin Williams snapped a 20-foot shot past Bernier with Phaneuf off for interference. The goal came on the Capitals' 13th shot of the game. The Maple Leafs had two chances to pull within a goal, but James van Riemsdyk and Holland hit the post on back-to-back shots.

Alex Ovechkin: "[Chimera] deserves it. He is working hard every day. He doesn't try to get cute; he knows what he is capable of doing and his experience is coming out. He's our secret weapon almost. I didn't think we had a very good first period, but his goal gave us a bit of a chance to reload."
Jason Chimera: "I have had a chance to play on the power play a bit lately and also to get the chance to play with [Evgeny Kuznetsov], who has some pretty magic hands, and that has been huge for me. It's nice any time you can score and help the team out. Any time you see a third- or fourth-line guy score, usually the team wins. You want to keep that going. You need depth scoring going forward because you know Ovi and [T.J.] Oshie aren't going to score every night."
New Jersey @ Montreal 3-2 OT
John Moore scored with 2:29 remaining in overtime and New Jersey overcame a two-goal deficit in the third period for a 3-2 win. Mike Condon made a pad save on Moore's initial shot, but the Devils defenseman flipped the rebound over him to secure a split of the home-and-home series. It was Moore's 11th goal in 252 NHL games, and his first in overtime. Kyle Palmieri drew the Devils even at 2-2 with 21.8 seconds remaining in the third period when he beat Condon with a drive from the left faceoff circle after Schneider was pulled for an extra attacker.
Alex Galchenyuk, who scored in regulation and in the shootout Friday, extended his point streak to five games (five goals, two assists) when he scored for a fourth consecutive game in the second period for his longest NHL goal streak.
He scored his second goal of the game, his seventh of the season, on a power play at 8:50 of the third to give Montreal a 2-0 lead. Patrik Elias, who was in the penalty box when Galchenyuk scored his second goal, scored his first goal in three games at 11:01 to pull New Jersey within 2-1. Galchenyuk crossed into the slot and redirected Lars Eller's slap shot from the point past Schneider and into the top right corner for his sixth goal at 9:06 of the second period for a 1-0 lead. The Canadiens extended their lead nine seconds after Elias was penalized for interference at 8:41 of the third when Galchenyuk put a rebound of Pacioretty's backhand past Schneider. Elias, who missed the first 20 games of the season because of a knee injury, got the Devils within one 2:20 later when he deflected Adam Larsson's shot past Condon for his 407th NHL goal.
NY Islanders @ Tampa Bay 3-2
John Tavares scored a power-play goal with 3:36 remaining in the third period to give the Islanders a 3-2 come-from-behind. Tavares scored his 11th goal with Erik Condra in the penalty box for hooking. After Tavares and Frans Nielsen each put a shot on goal from close range, Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop tried to dive to cover the loose puck, but Tavares poked it under the goalie's pads and into the net. The Lightning took a 1-0 lead at 16:20 of the first period on Killorn's fourth goal. Stralman took a slap shot from the point that Greiss saved, but the puck popped into the air and Killorn batted it into the net. Stralman made it 2-0 at 1:39 of the second period when he scored a goal from the slot off a beautiful behind-the-back pass from Steven Stamkos in front of the net. Stralman easily scored into the open side of the net. The Islanders cut the deficit in half when Bailey scored at 3:51 of the second with Vladislav Namestnikov in the penalty box for high sticking. Bailey sent a hard wrist shot past Bishop to complete a give-and-go sequence with Brock Nelson. It was Bailey's fifth goal. Clutterbuck tied the game at 16:51 of the second when he poked a loose puck past Bishop after Braydon Coburn misplayed the puck. Greiss kept the Islanders in striking range with a couple of big saves. He stopped Stamkos on a penalty shot at 10:26 of the second period and made a save on Valtteri Filppula on a breakaway later in the period.
Ottawa @ Phoenix 3-4
Mikkel Boedker scored his first goal 38 seconds into the game when Michael Stone's shot from the point deflected off Erik Karlsson and dropped into the high slot. Boedker raced in and beat Anderson over the glove with a wrist shot for seventh goal of the season. The Senators controlled the rest of the period and tied the game at 7:28. Kyle Turris won a battle along the boards and slid it around to Bobby Ryan behind the net. Ryan's nifty backhand pass found Hoffman charging up the slot, where he beat Lindback stick side for his ninth goal. Boedker scored again 41 seconds into the second period. Antoine Vermette found Boedker at the near post with a pass from the corner. Anderson denied the first two shots in tight, but Boedker scored on the third attempt.
Jeffrey was penalized for tripping a little more than a minute later and was exiting the box when Tobias Rieder intercepted a Karlsson pass inside the blue line. Rieder hit Jeffrey in stride with a breakaway pass and he pushed a forehand past Anderson at 4:00 to give the Coyotes a 3-1 lead. Ottawa needed 27 seconds after Connor Murphy's tripping penalty before Karlsson set up Hoffman for a shot from the left circle that Lindback couldn't see through an Alex Chaisson screen to cut the Coyotes lead to 3-2 at 17:57. The Coyotes asked for a review of the play, citing goalie interference by Chaisson, but the goal was upheld. Boedker completed his hat trick and restored the two-goal lead following the rebound of Max Domi's shot at 13:29 of the third period. The Coyotes needed the goal when Mark Stone got the Senators back within one with a shot over Lindback's shoulder at 14:45.
