FLYERS 2, PENGUINS
1, OT
PITTSBURGH -- Sean
Couturier beat Matt Murray with
3 seconds remaining in overtime and the Philadelphia
Flyers put together an improbable rally to edge the Pittsburgh
Penguins 2-1 on Sunday night.
James van
Riemsdyk tied the score with 18 seconds left in regulation when
Murray's glove couldn't quite reach van Riemsdyk's wrist shot from the slot.
The team traded a flurry of quality chances in the extra period before
Couturier danced around Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby on
the rush then sent a shot over Murray's stick to give Philadelphia's fading
playoff hopes a needed jolt.
Carter Hart finished
with 41 saves for his first victory since Feb. 17.
Teddy Blueger,
starting on the second line in place of injured Evgeni Malkin,
scored Pittsburgh's lone goal. Murray had 36 saves.
CANUCKS 3, STARS 2, SO
DALLAS -- Josh Leivo scored
in the fourth round of the shootout to lift Vancouver.
Leivo's shot went over Stars goalie Anton
Khudobin after Canucks goalie Jacob
Markstrom had stopped four Dallas skaters.
Vancouver's Tim Schaller scored
twice in the first 11 minutes for his first goals in nearly a year. It was his
first career multi-goal game. Markstrom finished with 44 saves.
Jamie Benn and Taylor Fedun had
the goals for Dallas. Khudobin had 25 saves and stopped a penalty shot for the
second straight game. The Stars, who hold the first wild card in the Western

Division.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Brock Nelson scored
1:04 into overtime and New York moved into a tie atop the Metropolitan Division.
Anders Lee scored
for the fourth straight game and Jordan Eberle added
a goal for the Islanders, who have won five of seven. Thomas Greiss made
32 saves.
New York is tied with Washington with 91 points with 10
games remaining, but currently holds the tiebreaker with a greater scoring
differential.
Zach Parise scored
for the first time in 11 games for Minnesota, which pulled one point behind
Arizona for the second wild card in the Western Conference. Jared

20. Stalock finished with 17 saves.
SABRES 4, BLUES 3, SO
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sam Reinhart scored
the deciding goal in the shootout to lead Buffalo.
After the Sabres' Jack Eichel and
St. Louis' Tyler Bozak traded
goals to open the tiebreaker, Reinhart scored on Buffalo's final attempt when
he got just enough on his wrist shot to get it past Jake Allen,
who got a piece of it with his glove.
Ryan O'Reilly then
had a chance to extend the shootout against his former team, but his backhand
chance hit the crossbar.
Johan Larsson, Evan Rodrigues and Conor Sheary scored
in regulation for the Sabres. Carter Hutton made
30 saves.
Pat Maroon, David Perron and Brayden
Schenn scored for the Blues, who got 31 saves from Allen.

37 shots. Anaheim won for the sixth time in nine games to pull nine points
behind Arizona for the second wild card in the Western Conference, with five
other teams in between.

for Florida, which snapped a four-game win streak. Rookie goalie Sam
Montembeault finished with 19 saves.
