Bergeron scored twice in the first period before netting his third goal on a
backhander off an Ottawa defender at 4:38 of the third period for his fourth
career hat trick.
David Pastrnak had two goals and two assists, and Chris Wagner, a native of
Wellesley, Mass., scored his first goal for the Bruins. Charlie McAvoy and
Brad Marchand each added three assists.
Ryan Dzingel scored twice for the Senators. Dzingel was a game-time decision
for the contest after sustaining an undisclosed injury in practice Sunday.
Islanders 4, Sharks 0
Robin Lehner recorded 35 saves in his first start for host New York, which
cruised to a victory over San Jose.
Lehner, who signed with the Islanders in July, recorded his ninth career
shutout in his first start since undergoing alcohol rehab and being diagnosed
with bipolar disorder following his final season with the Buffalo Sabres.
Anders Lee, Scott Mayfield, Matt Martin and Casey Cizikas all scored for the
Islanders, who have opened the season with two wins in three games. New York
recorded just two shutouts last season, when it allowed an NHL-high 293 goals.
Sabres 4, Golden Knights 2
Jack Eichel scored two goals and Carter Hutton had 35 saves to lead host
Buffalo past Vegas.
It was the second straight win for the Sabres, who also defeated the Golden
Knights for the first time in franchise history after losing both meetings to
the expansion franchise last season. Marco Scandella and Jason Pominville also
scored goals for the Sabres, and Kyle Okposo added a pair of assists.
Jonathan Marchessault had a goal and an assist, and Erik Haula, who scored the
game-winner in a 2-1 shootout win at Minnesota on Saturday night, also scored
a goal for Vegas.
Ducks 3, Red Wings 2 (SO)
Troy Terry scored the lone goal in the shootout, and goalie John Gibson made
20 saves through overtime and was perfect in the shootout as Anaheim beat
Detroit in its home opener.
The Ducks celebrated the 25th anniversary of their inaugural game by winning
for the third time in as many outings to start the season. The Red Wings are
winless through three games to start the season for the first time since
1991-92, although two of their losses were in extra time.
Tyler Bertuzzi and Darren Helm scored for the Red Wings, and Hampus Lindholm
and Jakob Silfverberg responded for the Ducks. Silfverberg's goal tied the
game 2-2 at 8:29 of the third period.
