PITTSBURGH -- Jared McCann scored
twice, Matt Murray finished
with 39 saves and the Pittsburgh
Penguins handed the Boston Bruins their
first regulation loss since January with a 4-2 victory on Sunday night.
Nick Bjugstad and Jake Guentzel also
scored for the Penguins, who survived another late push by the Bruins.
David Krejci picked
up his 19th of the season and John Moore got
Boston within one when he scored with just over a minute to go. But the Bruins
couldn't complete the comeback, ending their 19-game point streak.
It was the first regulation loss for Krejci and company
since Jan. 19 against the New York
Rangers.

Halak made 33 stops, but Boston remained winless in Pittsburgh
since December 2015.
CAPITALS 3, JETS 1
WASHINGTON -- Carl Hagelin scored
the go-ahead goal on a breakaway out of the penalty box and Pheonix
Copley made 33 saves, helping the Capitals to their seventh
consecutive victory.
Led by Copley, Hagelin and Nick Jensen,
the Capitals killed off all five minor penalties they took and won despite
being outshot 34-18. They haven't lost since adding Hagelin and Jensen to their
lineup before the trade deadline.
Nicklas
Backstrom also scored and Lars Eller added
an empty-netter for the Capitals, who now lead the Metropolitan Division by
four points.

Perreault scored for Winnipeg, and Connor
Hellebuyck made 15 saves.

ended a four-game skid to move back atop the Pacific Division standings ahead
of San Jose.
Playing alongside Tkachuk and Backlund, right wing Michael
Frolik had four assists as the line combined for 11
points. Andrew
Mangiapane also scored for Calgary, and David Rittich made
25 saves.

PANTHERS 6, RED WINGS 1
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Aleksander

scored their first NHL goal for the Panthers. Jonathan

scored.
Making his third NHL start, Sam
Montembeault stopped 19 shots as the Panthers finished their
season series against the Red Wings with a 3-0-1 record.
The 23-year-old Barkov had at least 21 goals in each of the
previous three seasons, but he had never reached 30 until he made it 6-1 7:44
into the third period.
Thomas Vanek had
a power-play goal for Detroit, which dropped to 1-7-3 in its past 11
games. Jimmy Howard had
37 saves.

22 shots.
