Two months into the season, the Boston Bruins finally have their first three-game win streak.

After scoring wins over the Canadiens and Red Wings earlier in the week, the B’s made it an Original Six triple play with a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center on Wednesday.

All three of those teams are well outside the ...Read more

There were no penalties. Not many scrums to report. Only one goal was scored, and it wasn’t even a shot attempt.

All of that equaled to it being the best defensive performance of the season for the Golden Knights.

Goaltender Adin Hill made 28 saves for his second shutout of the season, and the Knights clamped down on the Edmonton Oilers for ...Read more

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Maybe the worst 12 minutes of the season will be a turning point for the Colorado Avalanche.

Even if it isn't, it did set up one of the wildest comebacks in recent franchise history. The Avs spotted the Buffalo Sabres a four-goal lead, still trailed by three after 40 minutes and then roared back for a 5-4 win Tuesday night at ...Read more

PITTSBURGH —The vibes were good and the lead almost felt too big for even the Penguins to lose.

Owen Pickering had provided an early turning point with his first NHL goal. Marcus Pettersson put them up 4-1 with a beauty in the third period. And with the way the resurgent Tristan Jarry was playing, a fourth straight victory was nearly in the ...Read more

BOSTON — The Bruins erased a one-goal, third-period deficit and Pavel Zacha scored at 2:15 of overtime to lift the B’s to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at TD Garden on Tuesday.

David Pastrnak knocked Alex DeBrincat off the puck — the Wings were furious there was no penalty — and he fed Zacha for the winner.

It was a fun end ...Read more

ST. PAUL, Minn. — If the Minnesota Wild were curious what it was like to play them on the road, the Vancouver Canucks showed them.

Led by strong goaltending, a reputable defense and timely scoring — sound familiar? — Vancouver is also one of the NHL’s most ungracious visitors and remained a handful on Tuesday night to almost spoil the ...Read more

William Eklund scored a power-play goal 39 seconds into overtime as the San Jose Sharks earned an impressive 2-1 road win over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.

BOSTON — The Montreal Canadiens have spoiled many moments for the Bruins over the last 100 years, but they were not able to plant a bleu, blanc et rouge flag on the giant B at center ice at the end of Sunday’s Centennial Game at the Garden.

The Bruins scored the first four goals of the game, including a three-goal blitzkrieg in the first ...Read more

DETROIT — The Vancouver Canucks have been one of the best road teams in the NHL this season and they proved it again Sunday.

Jake DeBrusk scored his third goal of the game, at 4 minutes of overtime, giving the Canucks a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. DeBrusk took a handoff from Elias Pettersson and blistered a shot past goaltender ...Read more

DENVER — For the second time in as many nights, the shorthanded Colorado Avalanche played pretty well — maybe even well enough to win — against one of the NHL’s best teams.

Neither contest resulted in a victory for the Avs.

The superstars on both teams were mostly held in check, though Connor McDavid did create one of Edmonton’s ...Read more

SEATTLE — Sharks 4, Kraken 2, at Climate Pledge Arena

Notable: The month of November finished with a dud for the Seattle Kraken (11-13-1) with their third straight loss to a team below them in the Pacific Division standings. Seattle squandered three opportunities to pick up needed points, but badly flopped with falling to Anaheim before ...Read more

PITTSBURGH — All it took for the Penguins to produce their fleeting first three-game win streak of the season was some outside help — and a resurgent power play.

Winger Philip Tomasino, whom the Penguins acquired from the Predators on Monday in exchange for a fourth-round pick, scored his second goal in as many games on Saturday night at ...Read more

ST. PAUL, Minn. — They aren’t the Jets, Stars or Avalanche.

The Predators aren’t even the Predators of last season.

But a division win is a division win, especially inside the top-heavy Central, so the Wild prevailing 3-2 in overtime against Nashville on Saturday night in front of a whiteout crowd at Xcel Energy Center shouldn’t soon ...Read more

DALLAS — Season-long issues, both in the Colorado Avalanche’s control and not, were big problems again Friday night.

The Dallas Stars scored multiple power-play goals, and the Avs lost another key player to injury in a 5-3 loss at American Airlines Center. Issues with the penalty kill, the goaltending and defensive work in front of the ...Read more
