Goalie Jacob Markstrom made 34 saves.

Goalie Semyon Varlamov recorded 26 saves.
Devils 5, Lightning 3
Yegor Sharangovich’s second goal highlighted New Jersey’s third-period rally as it beat host Tampa Bay, snapping its nine-game point streak.
Sharangovich’s second goal — a sharp-angle shot at 9:34 of the third — gave the Devils their first lead at 4-3. He also scored in the first and added an assist, and Dawson Mercer and Jimmy Vesey tallied. Tomas Tatar clinched the win with an empty-net goal.
Jonas Siegenthaler dished out two assists for the Devils, who are 4-2-1 in their last seven games. Jan Rutta posted a goal and an assist, and Pat Maroon and Victor Hedman scored for Tampa Bay, which — in addition to having its point streak broken — lost for the first time in four games.

He hasn’t allowed a goal in 151 minutes and 37 seconds. Defenseman John Carlson collected two assists, his third consecutive multi-assist game.
Goalie Adin Hill made 17 saves for the Sharks, who have lost four of five games — in which they have managed only eight goals — and have just two victories in their last eight games.
Oilers 5, Blackhawks 2
Connor McDavid scored and added an assist to extend his point streak to 17 games, and Edmonton used a four-goal first period to beat visiting Chicago.
McDavid, with at least one point in every game and 32 points overall, waited all of 10 minutes, 16 seconds into the contest before notching his 12th goal and extending a point streak that’s tied for eighth longest in NHL history to begin a season.
Tyson Barrie, Kailer Yamamoto and Ryan McLeod also scored in the first period for the Western Conference-leading Oilers, who have won 13 of their first 17.

Coyotes 2, Red Wings 1 (OT)
Clayton Keller scored 25 seconds into overtime to give Arizona a home win over Detroit.
On a rush to the left of the Detroit goal, Keller fired the puck on net, and the rebound was shot through the goal mouth by Jakob Chychrun. Keller then pounced on the loose puck and shot it into a half-open goal for the game-winner.
The Red Wings felt Arizona forward Phil Kessel might have interfered with Red Wings goalie Alex Nedeljkovic and impeded his chance to get back in the crease to stop Keller’s shot, but the goal stood after a review.
Stars 4, Blues 1
Roope Hintz scored a pair of short-handed goals to lead host Dallas past St. Louis for its third win in four games.
After failing to score in the first 11 games of the season, Hintz has now lit the lamp five times in as many outings. The slick-skating forward became only the fourth player in franchise history to score two short-handed goals in the same game, and the first to complete that feat since the team moved from Minnesota to Dallas for the 1993-94 season.
Ryan Suter and Jamie Benn also scored for Dallas. Goaltender Jake Oettinger made 35 saves for his second win in as many starts this season. Brandon Saad replied for the Blues, who have just one win in their last six outings. Goalie Jordan Binnington made 29 saves, including a few breakaway stops.
