Chris Kreider scored 3:56 into overtime and the New York Rangers beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 Thursday night to snap a two-game losing streak.
Mats Zuccarello scored in regulation and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 36 shots, including two in the extra period, for the Rangers. J.T. Miller had assists on both goals to help New York get its league-leading 18th road win, including 11 of the past 13.
On the winning goal, Kreider took a pass from Miller and buried a wrist shot from the right circle for his 20th of the season.
Cody Franson scored and Robin Lehner stopped 42 shots for Buffalo, which has lost three straight.
Flyers 3, Canadiens 1: Matt Read scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period to end his long drought and lead Philadelphia to a victory over Montreal. Claude Giroux also scored and Sean Couturier had an empty-net goal for the Flyers. Nikita Nesterov scored for the Atlantic Division-leading Canadiens. Following Tuesday’s 5-1 loss at Carolina in which the Flyers had just six shots through 21/2 periods, coach Dave Hakstol benched 23-year-old former Union College defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere and 19-year-old forward Travis Konecny. But Hakstol kept Read in the lineup even though the Philadelphia forward hadn’t scored a goal since Nov. 3.
