BUFFALO, N.Y. — After keeping the puck out of the net for three periods, Tristan Jarry tucked it in his bag for a keepsake.

CHICAGO — When everything is going well for Artem Anisimov, he is repeatedly hit by sticks — in the back, legs, everywhere. He is pushed, poked and prodded by big, hulking defencemen , and all he can do is stand his ground as much as possible.

WASHINGTON — Jonny Brodzinski and Jussi Jokinen scored nine seconds apart, Jonathan Quick made 27 saves and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Washington Capitals 5-2 on Thursday night for their third consecutive victory.

NASHVILLE — It was a grand night for Daniel Sedin. Brock Boeser had two goals and an assist, Sedin surpassed 1,000 career points and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Nashville Predators 5-3 on Thursday.
