Brayden Schenn scored with 2:07 remaining in overtime as the visiting St. Louis Blues beat the Boston Bruins 3-2 on Saturday, four days after losing at home to the Bruins by the same score.

Colton Parayko dished a pass to Schenn in transition, who buried a wrist shot past Boston goaltender Joonas Korpisalo for the winning goal.

Radek Faksa registered a goal and an assist, Nathan Walker also scored and Alexey Toropchenko dished out two assists for St. Louis, which had been in an 0-3-1 rut.

Playing against his hometown team, Trent Frederic scored both Boston goals.

Panthers 5, Jets 0

Sergei Bobrovsky made 27 saves and captain Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart each recorded three points to lift host Florida over Winnipeg in Sunrise. It was the Jets’ second straight loss after winning 15 of their first 16 games.

A two-time Vezina Trophy winner, Bobrovsky turned aside 10 shots in the third period to preserve his first shutout of the season and the 45th of his career. Barkov scored a short-handed goal and set up two other tallies, while Reinhart notched three assists to extend his point streak to 10 games.

Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves and defenseman Josh Morrissey posted a minus-three while playing in his 600th career game for the Jets.

Hurricanes 4, Senators 0

Making his second start of the season and 54th of his career, journeyman goaltender Spencer Martin posted his first career shutout to help Carolina beat visiting Ottawa in Raleigh, N.C.

Though Martin did not need to make just 24 saves, he did deny the Senators on several quality chances. That included a sliding stop on Shane Pinto’s breakaway attempt just before the second period ended and a glove save on Brady Tkachuk in the final minute of the game.

Carolina needed just eight minutes to take the lead. Jordan Martinook’s shot from behind the goal line banked off Ottawa netminder Anton Forsberg and into the net.

Stars 2, Wild 1

Mason Marchment scored both goals to lift Dallas over host Minnesota in Saint Paul.

Ilya Lyubushkin earned a pair of assists for Dallas, which won its third game in a row. Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger stopped 22 of 23 shots to earn the win in his native state. He grew up in Lakeville, Minn., about a half-hour south of the Wild’s rink.

Kirill Kaprizov scored the lone goal for Minnesota. Filip Gustavsson took the loss despite turning aside 38 of 40 shots.

Lightning 4, Devils 0

Andrei Vasilevskiy capped a night of celebration with his second shutout this season as Tampa Bay beat visiting New Jersey to improve to 6-1-1 at home.

The 2019 Vezina Trophy winner stopped 29 shots for his 36th career shutout after also starting the evening on a high note, receiving gifts and tributes to commemorate his 300th career win Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets.

Nick Paul, Darren Raddysh, Victor Hedman and Anthony Cirelli each scored as the Lightning won their second straight. New Jersey was attempting a rare three-game sweep in the Sunshine State after defeating the Florida Panthers twice in Sunrise, Fla., during the week.

Kraken 3, Islanders 2

Jamie Oleksiak scored on a slap shot from the blue line with 3:13 left in the third period and Seattle defeated visiting New York as the Kraken continued their perfect start to their homestand.

Yanni Gourde and Jared McCann also scored for the Kraken, who improved to 4-0-0 on the six-game homestand. Goaltender Joey Daccord made 22 saves, including one on a short-handed breakaway by Brock Nelson with 1:55 remaining.

Pierre Engvall and Nelson scored for the Islanders, who had a five-game point streak snapped (3-0-2). Ilya Sorokin stopped 24 of 27 shots.

Canadiens 5, Blue Jackets 1

Mike Matheson had a goal and an assist to help Montreal beat visiting Columbus.

Cole Caufield and Joel Armia each had two assists for the Canadiens, who have won two of their past three games after a six-game losing streak. Sam Montembeault made 25 saves.

Dante Fabbro scored and Daniil Tarasov made 25 saves for the Blue Jackets, who have lost seven of eight.

Maple Leafs 4, Oilers 3 (OT)

Mitch Marner scored his 200th career goal 40 seconds into overtime and Toronto defeated visiting Edmonton.

Marner’s sixth goal of the season came at the end of a two-on-one break to give the Maple Leafs their second straight overtime win. Bobby McMann scored twice for Toronto and Matthew Knies also tallied in the win. Anthony Stolarz stopped 27 shots for the Leafs.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each had a goal and an assist for the Oilers, whose three-game winning streak ended. Adam Henrique also scored and Stuart Skinner made 18 saves.

Flyers 5, Sabres 2

Travis Konecny collected two goals and an assist as Philadelphia beat visiting Buffalo.

Travis Sanheim and Egor Zamula each had a goal and an assist and Ivan Fedotov made 23 saves for Philadelphia, which improved to 4-0-1 in its past five games. Anthony Richard and Matvei Michkov both chipped in a pair of assists for the Flyers.

Rasmus Dahlin and Ryan McLeod scored for Buffalo, which had won four of its past five games. Sabres goaltender Devon Levi made 27 saves.

Penguins 4, Sharks 3 (SO)

Evgeni Malkin scored the deciding goal in the fifth round of the shootout as Pittsburgh survived losing after holding a 3-0 lead to edge visiting San Jose.

Sidney Crosby scored his 599th goal in regulation to move within one goal of becoming the second active player to record 600 goals, joining Alex Ovechkin (863). Bryan Rust and Jesse Puljujarvi also scored for the Penguins, and Alex Nedeljkovic made 26 saves. Twenty-year-old Penguins defenseman Owen Pickering, the 21st pick in the 2022 NHL draft, played 13:40 and had an assist in his NHL debut.

Tyler Toffoli scored twice for the Sharks, who finished 1-2-1 on their East Coast road trip. Mackenzie Blackwood made 25 saves — including six in overtime — in relief of Vitek Vanecek, who left after the first period because of an undisclosed injury.

Kings 4, Red Wings 1

Goaltender David Rittich missed a shutout by less than 90 seconds, but host Los Angeles still easily beat Detroit.

Adrian Kempe scored two goals for the second consecutive game and defenseman Mikey Anderson and Tanner Jeannot also scored for the Kings, who had lost their previous two games. Rittich had to stop just 17 shots.

Dylan Larkin got the Red Wings’ goal with 1:27 left and Cam Talbot made 37 saves for Detroit against his former team. Talbot signed as a free agent with the Red Wings after spending last season with Los Angeles.

Canucks 4, Blackhawks 1

Erik Brannstrom broke a third-period deadlock with the go-ahead goal as Vancouver continued its recent domination of visiting Chicago.

Elias Pettersson, J.T. Miller and Teddy Blueger also scored for the Canucks. Goaltender Arturs Silovs made 28 saves to earn his first victory of the season. The Canucks beat Chicago for the ninth consecutive game, their longest run against a single opponent.

Ilya Mikheyev scored for the Blackhawks, who have lost four of five games. Goalie Arvid Soderblom stopped 29 shots.
