Los Angeles Kings v New York Rangers

4-3 (OT) 

Tyler Toffoli scored 25 seconds into overtime to give the Kings a 4-3 comeback win against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Gardens.

Toffoli, who assisted Arian Kempe‘s game-tying goal at 19:00 of the third period, scored with a short-side shot shortly after Rangers’ Mika Zibanejad hit the post with a shot from the left circle.

Kempe returned the favor with an assist on the winning goal. Anze Kopitar also scored, whilst Ilya Kovalchuk had two assists and Jonathan Quick made 24 saves for the Kings, who trailed on three occasions.

Adam McQuaid, Zibanejad and Chris Kreider scored for New York. Mats Zuccarello had an assist in the game to extend his point streak to eight. Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves.

Vancouver Canucks v Philadelphia Flyers 

1-2 

Carter Hart made 41 saves for the Flyers in their eight consecutive win. Sean Couturier and Jakub Voracek scored for the hosts, who are on their longest winning streak since they won 10 in a row from Nov. 27 – Dec. 14, 2016.

Hart has won seven in a row, making history as only the fourth goalie in NHL history to have a winning-streak of that length before turning 21. The 20-year-old is the first since Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens went 7-0-0 from March 20. to April 5. in 2008.

Brock Boeser scored and Jacob Markstrom made 28 saves for the Vancouver Canucks, who are 3-2-0 in their last five.

Vancouver defenseman Alexander Edler was taken off the ice on a stretcher hitting the ice face-first. He was defending in the Canucks zone in the third period when it appeared his stick got caught in Jakub Voracek‘s skate, pulling the 32-year-old to the ice. He left with 10:22 left in the game, but not before registering four shots on goal.
