NHL roundup: Devils score final 4 goals, top Wild in OT

Paul, Minn.

The Devils, who trailed 4-1 with fewer than two minutes left in the second
period, salvaged the finale of a three-game Western Conference road trip by
winning for just the second time in the last seven games (2-4-1).

The Wild dominated the overtime before goalie Devan Dubnyk turned the puck
over while trying to make a clearing pass behind the Minnesota net. Kyle
Palmieri, who picked off the pass, missed an attempt to jam home a shot, but
the puck skittered to Hischier, whose shot sailed into the open corner of the
net.

Marcus Johansson scored in the second period for the Devils, who forced
overtime on unanswered goals by Will Butcher, Palmieri and Ben Lovejoy.

Hurricanes 3, Oilers 1

Carolina goalie Curtis McElhinney made 40 saves as the Hurricanes rode early
scoring to defeat the Edmonton Oilers in Raleigh, N.C.

Nino Niederreiter scored two goals and Lucas Wallmark also tallied for the
Hurricanes, and Sebastian Aho provided two assists.

Carolina opened a three-game homestand after a 4-1-0 road trip and is 15-5-1
in its last 21 games.

Rangers 6, Sabres 2

Alexandar Georgiev followed up the best game of his young career by making 31
saves, and Vladislav Namestnikov scored two of New York's three goals in the
final 3:53 of the game in Buffalo, N.Y.

Coming off a career-high 55-save performance Sunday against Toronto, Georgiev
helped the Rangers beat the Sabres for the 13th time in the last 15 meetings
by withstanding a barrage for most of the third period, when Buffalo
controlled play in its offensive zone.

Jeff Skinner scored twice for Buffalo, which was unable to win consecutive
games for the first time since Dec. 11-13. It was Skinner's eighth multi-goal
game of the season and upped his total to 36, three behind Washington's
Alexander Ovechkin for the league lead.

Bruins 3, Ducks 0

Noel Acciari scored a goal less than six minutes after the opening faceoff,
and that was all the Bruins would need in Anaheim, Calif.

Boston goaltender Jaroslav Halak made 30 saves in his fourth shutout of the
season as the Bruins got their five-game road trip off to a positive start.
The Bruins have won four consecutive games and six of their last seven.

Jake DeBrusk scored a power play goal in the second period, and former Duck
Chris Wagner added an empty-net goal with less than two minutes remaining as
the Bruins improved to 2-0 without leading goal scorer David Pastrnak. Second
on the team with 66 points, Pastrnak is expected to miss at least two weeks
after undergoing a procedure on his thumb following an off-ice injury.
