KINGS BEAT FLORIDA, 3-1

Jonathan Quick stopped 33 shots, including all 15 he faced in the third period, to help the Kings bounce back from a Sunday loss and improve to 4-2-0 in their last six contests. Quick, who was pulled from Sunday’s 4-3 defeat at CAR, upped his record to 7-2-0 in nine career appearances vs. FLA (1.72 GAA, .937 SV%, 1 SO).

Kings forward Marian Gaborik played in his 900th game. Kings forward Tyler Toffoli notched his 11th goal of the season, tied for fifth in the NHL.

GOSTISBEHERE LIFTS FLYERS IN OVERTIME

The Hurricanes erased a two-goal deficit in the third period, but Shayne Gostisbehere scored 24 seconds into overtime to help the Flyers snap a three-game skid (0-1-2).

Gostisbehere – a third-round selection (78th overall) in the 2012 NHL Draft who hails from Pembroke Pines, Fla. – registered his first career game-winning goal (2-1—3 in 7 GP). Via Elias, he became the third rookie in Flyers history to score a regular-season overtime goal. The others, also both defensemen: Murray Baron (March 13, 1991 at VAN) and Dmitry Yushkevich (April 16, 1993 at HFD).

Claude Giroux added 1-2—3, including a shorthanded goal, for his first three-point performance since Dec. 20, 2014 at TOR (2-2—4). He paces the club with 7-9—16 this season (21 GP).

Michal Neuvirth made 31 saves to improve to 5-2-1 in nine career appearances vs. CAR (2.56 GAA, .926 SV%, 1 SO).

RASK, BRUINS COMPLETE HOME-AND-HOME SWEEP

Tuukka Rask stopped a season-high 39 shots through overtime – and also turned aside all three attempts he faced in the shootout – to lead the Bruins to a sweep of their home-and-home series with the Maple Leafs.

Rask, the 21st overall selection by Toronto in the 2005 NHL Draft, improved to 13-3-1 in 19 career regular-season appearances against his former club (1.80 GAA, .937 SV%, 2 SO). That includes a 6-2-0 record at Air Canada Centre (1.88 GAA, .940 SV%, 1 SO).

Brad Marchand scored twice, including one shorthanded goal, to extend his point streak to five games (5-1—6) and goal streak to four contests (5-0—5), equaling a career high last achieved Feb. 28 – March 8 (5-1—6).

Marchand shares first in the NHL with two shorthanded goals this season. He has registered more shorthanded goals than any other player since entering the League in 2009-10 (17).
