KINGS DEFEAT FLYERS IN OT
Milan Lucic scored the tying goal with 55.7 seconds remaining in regulation, and Anze Kopitar potted the lone tally in the shootout to lift the Kings to their third consecutive victory as well as a 12-3-0 record in their past 15 contests following a 0-3-0 start to the season.
Kings forward Tyler Toffoli (0-1—1) registered his 100th NHL point (47-53—100 in 166 GP). Toffoli (1-5—6) stretched his point streak to five games.
Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, a third-round selection (78th overall) in the 2012 NHL Draft, scored his first career goal (4 GP).
MALKIN POWERS PENGUINS PAST WILD
Evgeni Malkin posted 2-2—4, including a highlight-reel goal that stood as the game-winner, to help the Penguins snap a two-game skid and improve to 11-4-0 in their past 15 outings following a 0-3-0 start to the season.
Malkin registered his 20th career game of four or more points and first since March 22, 2014 vs. TBL (2-2—4). The Penguins improved to 20-0-0 in those contests.
Via Elias, Malkin’s 20 four-point performances rank second in the NHL since he made his League debut in 2006-07. The only player with more such games in that span: teammate Sidney Crosby (24).
Malkin paces the Penguins with 6-10—16 this season (18 GP), including four game-winning goals.
STARS EDGE SABRES TO CONTINUE RED-HOT START
Aided by a successful coach’s challenge late in the third period, the Stars edged the Sabres to pick up their third consecutive victory overall as well as their fourth straight win on the road.
At 15-4-0 (30 points), the Stars are off to their best 19-game start to a season – in terms of wins and points – in the franchise’s 48-year history. Their 15 victories lead the League, while their 30 points are tied for first with the Rangers (14-2-2) and Canadiens (14-3-2).
The Stars also improved to 8-2-0 (16 points) in their first 10 games as visitors. They pace the NHL in road wins, road points and road goals (35).
Tyler Seguin (1-0—1) and Jamie Benn (0-1—1) connected for an insurance goal with 1:27 remaining in regulation. Seguin (10-17—27) and Benn (12-14—26) rank second and third, respectively, in points this season (behind Patrick Kane: 13-15—28).
