NHL News: Maple Leafs hope home ice provides an elixir against Flyers


The Toronto Maple Leafs hope to rebound from a disappointing road trip when they return home Wednesday night to play the Philadelphia Flyers.

After squandering a 3-1 third-period lead in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday, the Maple Leafs completed their trip 1-2-2.

“You can get frustrated all you want, it’s not going to help anything,” Maple Leafs defenseman and alternate captain Morgan Rielly said Sunday. “You can talk about a lot of different things but this is on us. Players are in control of the outcome.

“Nobody is making excuses, that it’s early, that it’s OK. We’re not saying that. We keep our focus that it’s a long season. We’re not going to try to turn away from anything, we keep going until we right the ship.”

The Maple Leafs will get a heavy dose of home cooking as they play eight of their next 10 games in Toronto.

The Flyers opened a three-game road trip Tuesday night with a 1-0 overtime loss to the New York Rangers. It was Philadelphia’s second consecutive loss in extra time.

The Maple Leafs have lost four in a row, two in overtime.

“When you talk about our start and our results we had, the points we have been able to accumulate to this point probably are even more than what I would expect based on how we have played, frankly,” Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said on Tuesday after practice.

The Maple Leafs are working on executing fundamentals, something that has been lacking.

“There are a lot of fundamentals we are not executing at a high level,” Keefe said. “Some of the things that we expect to be really good in — as simple as breaking out and being available for one another and being responsible for your touch and your pass — that was the emphasis, to be good in that area.”

Other than that, Keefe said that he had a simple message to his players: “It’s nice to be home. The calendar turns to November, we have a fresh opportunity to get back on home ice. Let’s get to work.”

“I think we’ve been on a roller coaster as far as our play,” Flyers coach John Tortorella said after a 4-3 overtime loss to the visiting Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. “It’s been awful. It’s been good. It’s been just terrible. It’s been really good. It’s been up and down. But the team has found a way to get points. So they should feel good about this point.”

The Flyers had good goaltending again from Carter Hart on Tuesday as he stopped 35 shots. Rangers goaltender Igor Sheshterkin made 19 saves, none in overtime.

Tortorella said that because of the heavy minutes some of his players logged Tuesday, he will likely play defenseman Egor Zamula and center Tanner Laczynski on Wednesday to provide fresh legs against a team with speed like the Maple Leafs. Both were scratches Tuesday.

Tortorella saw value from the game in New York beyond the one point earned.

“It’s great experience for some guys to play in this building (Madison Square Garden), the way the atmosphere was, and just stay within themselves,” Tortorella said after the game on Tuesday. “That’s what I liked about it is that after an abysmal second period, I thought we gathered ourselves, and I thought we played a good third period.”

NHL News: Devils strike early, cruise past Canucks for fourth straight win


Nico Hischier’s goal early in the first period Tuesday night sparked another wire-to-wire collective win for the red-hot New Jersey Devils, who beat the host Vancouver Canucks 5-2.

Michael McLeod, Dawson Mercer, Yegor Sharangovich and Jack Hughes also scored for the Devils, who have won four straight — their longest winning streak since they won their first four games of the 2018-19 season.

Seven players scored a goal apiece for New Jersey in a 7-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday. Hischier is the only player to score in each of the last two wins.

Goalie Mackenzie Blackwood made 21 saves Tuesday night.

Bo Horvat scored twice for the Canucks, who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Goalie Thatcher Demko recorded 32 saves.

Hischier scored 4:36 into the first and just eight seconds into a power play. After winning a faceoff with Horvat, Hischier skated to the right of Demko, where the center placed his stick down for a pass from Jasper Bratt and tucked the puck into the wide open corner of the net.

The Devils doubled their lead with 1:56 left in the first, when McLeod scored on the rebound of a rebound by Miles Wood, who had pounced on the puck after Demko turned back a shot by Nathan Bastian.

The Devils scored a short-handed goal with four seconds left on the Canucks’ power play. Mercer finished off a 2-on-1 when he took a pass from Sharangovich, who dished behind the feet of a sliding Oliver Ekman-Larsson and flicked a forehand into the upper corner of the net at 9:25.

Sharangovich capped another 2-on-1 opportunity barely two minutes later. John Marino’s clearing pass hit Jesper Boqvist in stride before Boqvist passed behind Horvat and to Sharangovich, who fired a shot past the stick of a sprawling Demko with 8:23 remaining.

The Canucks scored just eight seconds into a power play with 3:37 left in the second. Horvat won a faceoff with Hischier before sending his shot from the slot past Blackwood, who was screened by teammate Jonas Siegenthaler as he battled with Andrei Kuzmenko.

Horvat scored another power-play goal after Demko was pulled with 3:37 left, but Hughes scored an empty netter with 1:02 left to end any comeback hopes for the Canucks.

NHL News: Coyotes down Panthers for first win at new home venue


Karel Vejmelka made 41 saves and Clayton Keller had a goal and an assist as the Arizona Coyotes picked up their first win in three tries at Mullett Arena with a 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday in Tempe, Ariz.

Nick Ritchie and Lawson Crouse also scored for Arizona, which snapped a two-game losing streak. The Coyotes, who play 20 of their first 24 games on the road while a locker room annex is being finished, are slated to play in the 5,000-seat arena on the Arizona State University campus for at least the next three seasons until a proposed new arena in Tempe is built.

Colin White scored a goal and Spencer Knight stopped 18 of 20 shots for the Panthers, who were playing the first game of a four-game Western Conference road trip that continues on Thursday in San Jose.

Florida, which compiled a total of 109 shots on goal in its previous two games, including a franchise-record 58 in a 5-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, managed just five shots in the first 18 minutes on Tuesday. The Panthers were outshot 8-7 in a tight-checking, scoreless first period.

The Panthers picked it up in the second period, outshooting the Coyotes 16-3, but both teams managed a goal with Florida also hitting the post twice.

White made it 1-0 at 8:24 with a waist-high deflection of a Josh Mahura shot from the left point in the slot. It was his third goal of the season.

Florida had a 10-0 edge in shots in the period before Arizona tied it on Crouse’s power-play goal, a wrist shot from the edge of the left circle under the left arm of Knight for his fourth of the season.

Florida had a chance to retake the lead early in the third period, but Rudolfs Balcers’ rebound shot from the bottom of the left circle caromed off the left post.

Arizona took a 2-1 lead a few minutes later with another power-play goal, the team’s 11th in nine games. At 8:55, Ritchie scored with a wrist shot from the top of the slot that sailed by Knight’s glove side for his fourth of the season.

Knight was pulled for an extra attacker with 2:28 remaining, and Vejmelka turned away a flurry of shots before Keller sealed it with an empty-netter with 67 seconds to go. Keller has three goals this season.

NHL News: Kraken overtake Flames with three-goal third period


Rookie Matty Beniers capped Seattle’s three-goal, third-period rally as the Kraken defeated the host Calgary Flames 5-4 Tuesday night.

Beniers scored off a pass from Jordan Eberle on a three-on-one breakaway, lifting the puck over sprawling Calgary goaltender Dan Vladar, to snap a 4-4 tie at 13:26 of the final period.

Carson Soucy, Morgan Geekie, Daniel Sprong and Yanni Gourde also scored for Seattle. Oliver Bjorkstrand notched two assists.

Kraken goalie Joey Daccord, making his first appearance of the season with Philipp Grubauer out with a lower-body injury and Martin Jones away from the team for personal reasons, made 36 saves.

Tyler Toffoli had a goal and an assist and Nikita Zadorov, Nazem Kadri and Trevor Lewis also tallied for the Flames. Elias Lindholm had two assists, and Vladar stopped 21 of 26 shots.

The Kraken won for the third time in four games while the Flames dropped their second straight contest.

The score was tied 2-2 entering the third period before the Flames scored twice in a 17-second span to take the lead.

Toffoli got the go-ahead goal, beating Daccord with a snap shot from between the hashmarks at 1:34 just after Lindholm won a faceoff.

Lewis subsequently fired a wrister from between the circles to give the Flames a two-goal cushion.

The Kraken rallied behind their special teams. Sprong scored a power-play goal at 8:31 and Gourde tied it on a short-handed breakaway at 11:26 after he stole the puck from Kadri at the Flames’ blue line.

Seattle opened the scoring at 14:58 of the first period on Soucy’s wrister from just outside the left faceoff dot.

The Flames tied the score 6:28 of the second. Toffoli carried the puck down the right wing and fired a pass across the top of the crease to Zadorov for a one-timer.

Calgary took the lead at 8:14 of the second. Kadri skated down the right wing and cut toward the net. He momentarily lost control of the puck just before he got to the crease, but it bounced right back to him and he hammered it into the open net.

Kraken coach Dave Hakstol challenged the call, apparently claiming Kadri had clipped Daccord’s skate as he moved across the crease, but the goal stood after a video review.

Seattle tied it at 13:10 of the second as Geekie converted a two-on-one break with Jamie Oleksiak.

NHL News: Leon Draisaitl, Evander Kane have big nights as Oilers pummel Preds


Leon Draisaitl had a goal and four assists to help the host Edmonton Oilers to a fifth straight win, 7-4 against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday.

Connor McDavid had two goals and two assists, Evander Kane had a hat trick and Jack Campbell made 19 saves for the Oilers.

Filip Forsberg had a goal and two assists, while Mikael Granlund and Matt Duchene had two assists apiece for the Predators, who are 1-6-1 in their past eight games. Juuse Saros made 30 saves.

Mattias Ekholm gave Nashville a 1-0 lead 34 seconds into the first period. Duchene’s pass attempt hit the skate of Oilers defenseman Cody Ceci and redirected to the front of the net. Campbell made the save but Ekholm was there to tap in the rebound.

Duchene’s assist was the 400th of his NHL career.

Kane tied it 1-1 at 4:14. Draisaitl drove down the right wing before dishing a cross-ice backhand feed from the half wall to Kane, who cut to the net before sweeping a backhand by Saros.

They connected again to put Edmonton ahead 2-1 at 7:25, with Draisaitl sending a one-touch pass from the corner to Kane in the slot.

McDavid struck from the right circle 26 seconds later to push it to 3-1, becoming the first player this season to reach double-digit goals.

That prompted Predators coach John Hynes to call a timeout.

Derek Ryan extended it to 4-1 at 14:58 from the side of the net.

McDavid put one home in the top corner of the short side from the inner left circle on the power play to make it 5-1 at 7:26 of the second period.

Nashville got one back on the power play at 9:28 when Johansen redirected Roman Josi’s shot in the slot to narrow it to 5-2.

Forsberg cut it to 5-3 on a one-timer from the left circle at 4:51 of the third period.

Draisaitl made it 6-3 with a one-timer on the power play at 8:55.

Nino Niederreiter converted on the power play to tighten it to 6-4 at 17:10.

Kane scored into an empty net at 18:23 to complete the hat trick and seal the 7-4 final.

NHL News: Stars blitz Kings in second period, hang on for easy win


Roope Hintz had two goals and an assist for the Dallas Stars in a 5-2 win against the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.

Jason Robertson had a goal and two assists, Tyler Seguin and Joe Pavelski also scored and Scott Wedgewood made 30 saves for the Stars, who scored three goals in a 90-second span of the second period to break open a tied game.

Kevin Fiala and Arthur Kaliyev scored, and Cal Petersen made 35 saves for the Kings, who were coming off a 5-1 win at the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.

The Stars went 3-for-4 on the power play.

Robertson began the 90-second barrage with a power-play goal at 9:01 that gave Dallas a 2-1 lead.

Seguin scored on a wrist shot while cutting into the slot to make it 3-1 at 10:17, and Hintz scored 14 seconds later to make it 4-1.

Kaliyev cut the lead to 4-2 when he scored on a power play at 14:37, but the Stars re-established their three-goal lead when Pavelski scored the third power-play goal of the game to make it 5-2 with 1:23 left in the second period.

Jamie Benn and Miro Heiskanen each had two assists for Dallas.

Fiala was in the penalty box for tripping Pavelski when Hintz scored on a one-timer from the left faceoff dot for a 1-0 lead at 6:49 of the first period.

Peterson made a save on a breakaway by Ty Dellandrea with 6:01 remaining in the first period to keep it a one-goal game at the intermission.

Fiala tied it 1-1 at 5:21 of the second period when he put in a long rebound after Wedgewood made a save on Carl Grundstrom’s breakaway, but the Stars scored four goals over the remainder of the period to take the commanding lead.

The Stars did not have No. 1 goalie Jake Oettinger, who sustained a lower-body injury against the visiting New York Rangers on Saturday and will be re-evaluated in a week.

NHL News: Isles win 4th straight, send Blackhawks to 4th straight loss


Brock Nelson scored a goal and had an assist Tuesday night for the visiting New York Islanders, who continued their surge with a 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Anders Lee poked home a shot by Nelson in the first period and Zach Parise added an empty-netter with 13.1 seconds left in the third for the Islanders, who have won four straight. New York goalie Ilya Sorokin made 21 saves.

Jonathan Toews scored in the third period for the Blackhawks, who have lost four straight (0-2-2). Backup goalie Arvid Soderblom recorded 28 saves in relief of Alex Stalock, who stopped two shots before exiting following a collision with Islanders right winger Casey Cizikas 2:56 into the first.

Stalock turned back a point-blank backhand shot by Cizikas, who crashed into Stalock’s head before the goalie fell back and appeared to hit his neck on the right post as the net came off its moorings.

The goalie remained motionless on the ice before being helped to the locker room. Cizikas was initially assigned a five-minute major penalty for interference before eventually receiving a game misconduct and getting ejected.

The remainder of the first period was increasingly chippy. The Blackhawks were whistled for three penalties, including a goalie interference call on Andreas Athanasiou for interfering with Sorokin.

The Islanders took advantage of their third power play — generated when Jason Dickinson was penalized for cross-checking Nelson — to take the lead late in the period. Soderblom turned back a shot by Kyle Palmieri, but Chicago defenseman Jake McCabe slipped as he tried to clear the puck. Nelson’s shot went beneath the prone goalie and the puck trickled toward the goal line before Lee poked it across.

An impressive individual effort by Nelson helped the Islanders double their lead early in the third. Ross Johnston sent a clearing pass down the ice following a lengthy battle in the New York zone, and Nelson outraced the Blackhawks’ Taylor Raddysh to collect the puck. Nelson skated up the right side and fired a shot over Soderblom’s glove at the 7:23 mark.

New York’s Cal Clutterbuck was whistled for interference to create the power play that led to Toews’ goal just beyond the midway point of the final period. Toews redirected Caleb Jones’ shot, which fluttered past Sorokin as he was screened by Raddysh and New York defenseman Scott Mayfield with 9:41 left.

The Blackhawks recorded a pair of shots after pulling Soderblom with about two minutes left before Parise iced the victory.

NHL News: Kirill Kaprizov nets pair as Wild take down Canadiens


Kirill Kaprizov scored twice, Matt Boldy had a goal with an assist and Marc-Andre Fleury made 34 saves, as the Minnesota Wild beat the visiting Montreal Canadiens 4-1 on Tuesday night in Saint Paul, Minn.

Minnesota scored three times in the second period, with Kaprizov posting his seventh and eighth goals of the season, and Mason Shaw the second of his career. Boldy added an empty-netter as it improved to 2-3-0 at home on the young campaign.

Fleury, who turns 38 on Nov. 28, was solid most of the night, and particularly stout during the first period en route to his fourth straight winning start. He seemed headed for his 72nd career shutout until Montreal’s Nick Suzuki scored on the power play with 6:30 remaining in regulation.

Jake Allen stopped 27 shots for Montreal, which is 2-1-0 on a four-game trip. The Canadiens have lost 14 of the last 15 against the Wild, and nine straight at Minnesota, which won 3-1 at Montreal on Oct. 25.

Montreal was the aggressor for most of the first period, and recorded 15 official shots on goal. However, Fleury saved each one, as the teams went into the first intermission without a goal.

However, it was Minnesota that got going early in the second period, scoring on its second shot just 1:09 into the frame. Allen made the save on Joel Eriksson Ek’s shot, but the rebound was long enough for Shaw to pick up and convert his second goal in as many contests.

Nearly 2 1/2 minutes later, the Wild came through on the power play. Eriksson Ek started a play that concluded with Kaprizov deflecting in Boldy’s drive for a 2-0 lead. Kaprizov struck again with 5:05 remaining in the second when he pushed in Marco Rossi’s bouncer in front of Allen.

Kaprizov has six goals and 10 points during Minnesota’s five home games.

Meanwhile, Suzuki, who went short-side to beat Fleury, has goals in back-to-back games, and five on the season for Montreal.

NHL News: Bruins storm back, stun Penguins in OT for sixth straight win


Hampus Lindholm went coast-to-coast and scored from the left hash marks at 3:37 of overtime Tuesday as the visiting Boston Bruins erased a three-goal deficit to win their sixth straight, 6-5 over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Charlie Coyle, Brad Marchand, Jakub Lauko, Pavel Zacha and Taylor Hall also scored for the Bruins.

Boston goaltender Linus Ullmark allowed five goals on 18 shots before being pulled in the second. Jeremy Swayman stopped all four shots he faced but left with an apparent left leg injury at 5:42 of the third when teammate Patrice Bergeron got knocked into him. Ullmark returned and went on to finish with 29 saves.

Evgeni Malkin had a goal and an assist, and Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust, Josh Archibald and Rickard Rakell also scored for the Penguins, who have lost five straight.

Pittsburgh goaltender Tristan Jarry made 34 saves.

The Bruins were without center David Krecji (upper body) and lost defenseman Derek Forbort after he blocked a shot in the first.

Pittsburgh was without defenseman Kris Letang (illness) and center Jeff Carter (upper body).

Crosby gathered a deflected pass by Jeff Petry and scored from the left hash marks 30 seconds into the first.

At 5:19 of the first, Coyle tied it 1-1 when he poked in a loose puck in the crease.

Lauko scored his first NHL goal at 13:20 of the first, off a feed from Nick Foligno, to put Boston ahead 2-1.

At 1:47 of the second, a Pierre-Olivier Joseph pass deflected to Malkin, who tied it from near the right post.

During a delayed penalty call, Archibald gave Pittsburgh a 3-2 lead on a one-timer at 8:42 of the second.

At 11:16 of the second, Rust scored from near the left post to make it 4-2, and 20 seconds later, Rakell’s goal from the right circle at 11:36 gave Pittsburgh a 5-2 lead.

Swayman replaced Ullmark.

On a power play, Marchand rifled in a one-timer at 12:57 of the second to pull Boston to within 5-3.

Zacha got a deflection goal at 11:59 of the third, and Hall banged in a rebound with 1:17 left to tie it.

NHL News: Shea Theodore’s goal in OT lifts Knights over Caps


Shea Theodore scored 1:35 into overtime as the Vegas Golden Knights rallied for their fifth consecutive victory, edging the host Washington Capitals 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Theodore cut to the net and took a pass from Jack Eichel in the slot and then fired a wrist shot past Capitals backup goaltender Charlie Lindgren for his third goal of the season. It was Theodore’s eighth career overtime goal, seven of which have come with the Golden Knights.

Eichel and William Carrier also scored goals and Alex Pietrangelo had three assists for Vegas. Logan Thompson finished with 19 saves for the Golden Knights, who were playing the first game of a five-game Eastern Conference road trip.

Marcus Johansson and Trevor van Riemsdyk scored goals and Dylan Strome added two assists for Washington. Lindgren stopped 28 of 31 shots for the Capitals, who were playing the second game of a back-to-back that began with a 3-2 shootout loss at Carolina on Monday.

Washington jumped out to a 1-0 lead at the 3:39 mark of the first period on a power-play goal by Johansson. Strome set the goal up with a short pass to the bottom of the left circle, where Johansson fired a one-timer over Thompson’s shoulder.

The Golden Knights tied it 1-1 near the end of the period on a power-play goal by Eichel, who ripped a wrist shot from the top of the right circle past Lindgren’s blocker side for his fifth goal of the season.

The Capitals regained the lead at the 1:01 mark of the second period on a wrist shot from the left point through traffic by van Riemsdyk. It was the first goal of the season for the Washington defenseman.

Carrier tied it 2-2 with 5:56 left in the third period with a wrist shot from the side of the left circle off the far post and in for his second goal of the season.

Washington nearly won it in dramatic fashion at the end of regulation, but Garnet Hathaway’s backhand shot went in about a second after time had expired.
