SAN JOSE, Calif. — Evander Kane has done a good job tormenting the Calgary Flames with his goal-scoring prowess and physical play.

DENVER — The game had a post-season intensity. So Gabriel Landeskog of course brought out his best shot — even if he might've had his eyes closed when he took it. A capacity crowd certainly let him know the result.

ST. LOUIS — It had been a year and two days since Patrik Berglund turned in a multi-goal game for the St. Louis Blues. He delivered again Friday night when his team needed it.

PITTSBURGH — Taylor Hall beat Matt Murray on a breakaway 27 seconds into overtime to give the New Jersey Devils a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night. Hall was all alone when Nico Hischier found him with a long lead pass.

DALLAS — David Pastrnak broke a tie with 12 seconds left and the Boston Bruins scored three straight goals in the third period to rally past the fading Dallas Stars 3-2 on Friday night.

PITTSBURGH — The New Jersey Devils and their roster stuffed with speed and youth haven't made the playoffs in six years. The drought for Taylor Hall is even longer.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Upon handing the puck to Canadiens goalie Antti Niemi in honour of his 35-save performance, defenceman Karl Alzner had a hard time believing how long it has been since his teammate's last shutout. It's been more than two years.

WINNIPEG — Kyle Connor scored 3:16 into overtime as the Winnipeg Jets edged the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 and set a franchise record for points in a season Friday. It marked the second straight game the rookie scored the overtime winner.

CALGARY — The Calgary Flames' already thin playoff hopes are taking a major hit with yet another key player headed for sick bay.

OTTAWA — Embattled Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk will meet with fans at two town hall meetings in the coming weeks as the club attempts to quell public criticism in the midst of a disappointing season.
