Posted

BOSTON (AP) — David Pastrnak scored 3:07 into overtime, and the Boston Bruins beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Saturday.

It was Pastrnak’s third goal in Boston’s first three games. He had 47 goals in 82 games for the Bruins last season.

Elias Lindholm also scored for Boston, and Jeremy Swayman had 33 saves.

It was Los Angeles’ first loss of the season. The Kings opened with a 3-1 victory at Buffalo on Thursday.

SABRES 5, PANTHERS 2

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Jordan Greenway and Tage Thompson scored 41 seconds apart in the first period, and Buffalo ended a season-opening three-game skid with a win over Florida.

Henri Jokiharju, Mattias Samuelsson and Alex Tuch, with an empty-netter, also scored for the Sabres, who combined for three goals in their first three outings. Lindy Ruff won his first game in his second stint as Sabres coach, 4,257 days after his last victory with Buffalo — a 4-2 decision over Boston on Feb. 15, 2013.

Sam Bennett and Nate Schmidt scored for the Panthers, who have lost two straight since a season-opening win over Boston.

MAPLE LEAFS 4, PENGUINS 2

TORONTO (AP) — Mitch Marner had a goal and an assist, and Toronto beat Pittsburgh in the Maple Leafs’ home opener.

William Nylander had two goals for Toronto, including an empty-netter. Matthew Knies also scored, Max Domi had two assists and Anthony Stolarz made 21 saves.

It was the home debut for Toronto coach Craig Berube, who was hired in May. The Maple Leafs split their first two games of the season on the road.

Kris Letang and Rickard Rakell scored for Pittsburgh. Joel Blomqvist stopped 29 shots in his second NHL start after picking up his first victory Thursday in Detroit. Evgeni Malkin had two assists to give him 1,300 points for his career.

CANADIENS 4, SENATORS 1

MONTREAL (AP) — Emil Heineman and Cole Caufield scored first-period goals and Montreal went on to beat Ottawa.

After Alex Newhook boosted the Canadiens’ lead to 3-0 early in the third period, Tim Stutzle ended Sam Montembeault’s bid for a second consecutive shutout. Montembeault, who made 48 saves in a season-opening win over Toronto, made 24 saves against Ottawa.

Caufield completed the scoring with his second goal of the game and fourth of the season in the third period.

Montreal defenseman Mike Matheson was awarded a penalty shot when he was upended by Jake Sanderson on a rush to the net during a third-period power play. Linus Ullmark, who finished the game with 22 saves, got a piece of the shot which hit the post and went wide.

RED WINGS 3, PREDATORS 0

DETROIT (AP) — Cam Talbot stopped 41 shots for his 32nd career shutout in his first start for Detroit and the Red Wings beat Nashville.

J.T. Compher, Andrew Copp and Dylan Larkin scored for Detroit, which lost its season opener, 6-3 to Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Juuse Saros, who missed the Predators’ season-opening loss to Dallas, finished with 22 saves.

Nashville forward Filip Forsberg played in his 700th career game.

Talbot, signed to a two-year contract as a free agent during the offseason, had 16 saves in the first period, 12 in the second and 13 in the third.

DEVILS 5, CAPITALS 3

WASHINGTON (AP) — Paul Cotter scored twice, giving him four goals through four games this season, and New Jersey defeated Washington.

Capitals star Alex Ovechkin was held without a shot for only the 23rd time in his distinguished career, though he did have an assist and six hits. Washington’s captain started his 20th season 42 goals from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record of 894.

Seamus Casey, Tomas Tatar and Dawson Mercer also scored for New Jersey. Erik Haula and Stefan Noesen each had three assists, and Jacob Markstrom made 29 saves.

The Devils (3-1-0) took the white-knuckle route to protecting a two-goal lead entering the third, as the Capitals (0-1-0) scored 95 seconds into the period on Tom Wilson’s slap shot.

Washington had opportunities to tie the game on a power play midway through the period, but Mercer put in an empty-netter with eight seconds left, securing the victory.
