Anaheim @ Boston 6-2
Zach Trotman opened the scoring 40 seconds into the game. Beleskey finished his check and caused Rickard Rakell to lose the puck to David Krejci, who fed it out to Trotman at the right point for a slap shot that beat Andersen high to the glove side. Perry tied it 1-1 after Perron took advantage of a bad pass from Gustavsson to Trotman below the Boston goal line. Perron intercepted the pass and set up Perry for a goal from the right hash marks at 7:54. The Ducks had a 2-1 lead after the first period because Shea Theodore beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot from the high slot at 14:27 during a power play. Tuukka Rask (19 saves) relieved Gustavsson to start the second period, when the Ducks scored two more goals to take a 4-1 lead into the third. Perron banged in a rebound of a Chris Stewart shot at 11:06, then Bieksa beat Rask with a slap shot off the rush from the top of the right circle at 17:13 after a give-and-go with Jakob Silfverberg. Andersen made saves on all 12 shots he faced in the second, including a point-blank stop on David Pastrnak at 7:14 when the Ducks led by one goal. Andersen stopped Pastrnak again on a breakaway 57 seconds into the third period, but he couldn't stop Chara's wrist shot from the high slot at 2:04. Ryan Spooner set up Chara for the goal to cut the Ducks lead to 4-2. Kesler scored into an empty net with 54.4 seconds left, and Mike Santorelli scored against Rask with 31.3 seconds remaining.
Columbus @ Montreal 5-2
Jenner gave Columbus a 1-0 lead with his 17th goal at 10:51 of the first period, eight seconds after Torrey Mitchell was penalized for holding. The Blue Jackets forward gathered in the rebound of his backhand shot off Scrivens' left pad and tucked the puck inside the right post from the right edge of the crease. Hartnell scored his 17th goal on Columbus' second power play of the period when he redirected Nick Foligno's centering pass from the right corner into the goal mouth past Scrivens with 41 seconds remaining. Dubinsky made it 3-1 in the second, and Atkinson made it 4-2 at 17:03 of the third. Saad scored into an empty net with 22 seconds remaining. Jacob De La Rose, who drew into the lineup after Daniel Carr sustained a right-knee injury Monday, hit the right post with a backhand shot at 2:26 of the first period. Columbus is 2-0-1 with associate coach Craig Hartsburg filling in for injured coach John Tortorella, who broke two ribs when he collided with Rene Bourque during an outdoor practice Friday. Montreal captain Max Pacioretty left the game after he was hit in the head by a P.K. Subban slap shot midway through the second period. He did not return.
Buffalo @ Ottawa 3-2
Eichel used his speed to score his 15th and 16th goals of the season. He burst around Jared Cowen to score on a wraparound to tie the game 2-2 in the second period and drove to the net to put the Sabres up 3-2 early in the third when Anderson and Chris Neil lost track of the puck and it popped out to Eichel at the left post. Ryan put the Senators ahead 2-1 at 10:03 of the second period. It was his fourth goal in five games. Kane tied the game 1-1 at 11:12 of the first period when Cowen misjudged the carom off the endboards when he attempted to pass the puck to Chris Wideman. It hit the side of the net and Kane swooped in and knocked the loose puck by Anderson. Karlsson opened the scoring at 6:42 of the first period when he crashed the net and knocked in a rebound for his 11th goal. Jean-Gabriel appeared to have tied the game at the end of the third period with Ottawa on the power play and Anderson the bench for the extra attacker, but a review confirmed that time had expired before the puck crossed the goal line.
Toronto @ Florida 1-5
Nazem Kadri scored with 2:25 left in the first period and goaltender James Reimer finished with 22 saves for Toronto. The Panthers controlled play for most of the first period, outshooting the Maple Leafs 7-0 through the first 13:11. But Toronto capitalized on its first real scoring opportunity to take the lead. Kadri took Peter Holland’s bank pass off the boards as he came over the blue line, cut toward the middle after Eric Gudbranson fell down, and swept across the front of the crease before tucking the puck past Luongo at 17:35 for his 10th of the season. Barkov tied it at 3:49 with a power-play goal. With Phaneuf off for boarding, Brian Campbell’s pass sent Barkov in alone. The third-year center, who signed a six-year contract extension earlier Tuesday, went forehand-to-backhand before lifting the puck over Reimer’s pad for his 13th goal. Florida went ahead at 7:40 on Trocheck’s power-play goal. Jokinen carried the puck into the left circle and found Trocheck at the right post for an easy tap-in, his 14th goal of the season. Jokinen made it 3-1 at 14:13 with his ninth, beating Reimer from the slot after Smith’s takeaway at center ice triggered a 2-on-1 break. Smith gave Florida a three-goal lead at 3:52 of the third period when he grabbed the rebound of Gudbranson’s shot, stepped around Reimer and put the puck into a half-empty net for his team-high 16th. He has goals in four consecutive games. Petrovic scored his first NHL goal in his 82nd career game at 7:43 when his wrist shot from the right point surprised Reimer.
