In St Paul, Minnesota, Ryan Suter, Erik Haula and Jason Zucker scored in a two-minute span late in the third period as Minnesota rallied to beat Anaheim.
It was the second goal of the game for both Haula and Zucker.
The Wild, in command of the Western Conference lead, have won 19 of their past 22 games.
Stefan Noesen, Cam Fowler and Corey Perry scored for Anaheim, who lost goalie John Gibson in the first period with an upper-body injury. It was the first time in 10 games that Anaheim allowed more than two goals and the first time in 19 games they lost when leading after two periods.
CAPITALS 4, STARS 3, OT
In Dallas, Jay Beagle scored 19 seconds into overtime as Washington rallied to beat Dallas.
Evgeny Kuznetsov skated behind the net and put the puck in front to Beagle. His wrist shot beat goalie Kari Lehtonen, who got tangled with a defender and lost his footing.
The Stars led 3-1 and did not allow Washington a power play until the third period, but then Alex Ovechkin and T.J. Oshie scored with the man advantage in the first 5 minutes, 26 seconds of the period.
Adam Cracknell and Jamie Benn scored for Dallas on plays that originally were ruled no-goals. Patrick Eaves had a goal and an assist for the Stars.
Andre Burakovsky scored the game’s first goal for the Capitals at 2 minutes, 17 seconds of the first period.
JETS 5, BLUES 3
In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Bryan Little scored twice on power plays and Ondrej Pavelec set a franchise record for saves in a period as Winnipeg handed St Louis their third straight loss.
Pavelec, starting his second game this season after being called up from the minors on Tuesday last week, broke his own Atlanta-Winnipeg franchise record for saves in a period with 25 in the second. He had a 24-save period on Oct. 31, 2009, against Ottawa.
The shots were also a dubious mark, tying the franchise record for most shots allowed in a period.
Pavelec made 34 saves for the game.
Blues goalie Pheonix Copley, a native of North Pole, Alaska, made his first NHL start and had 24 saves. He played in one game last season.
Blake Wheeler, Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored for Winnipeg.
ISLANDERS 4, KINGS 2
In New York, Anders Lee scored two power-play goals to lead New York over Los Angeles.
John Tavares had a goal and an assist, Jason Chimera also scored and Jean-Francois Berube stopped 34 shots to earn his first win in his third start of the season for the Islanders.
New York, who won their third straight and fourth in the past five games, came in with back-to-back shutouts.
Drew Doughty had a goal and an assist, and Jeff Carter also scored for Los Angeles, who lost their third straight. Peter Budaj finished with 32 saves.
After Los Angeles scored twice early in the third period to tie it, Lee put the Islanders ahead for good at 9 minutes, 31 seconds, deflecting a slap shot by Nick Leddy past Budaj for his 17th of the season. That gave Lee four goals in two games against the Kings this season.
In other results, it was:
‧ Devils 4, Flyers 1
‧ Sabres 3, Canadiens 2, OT

Bayer 04 Leverkusen go into today’s match at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim stung from their first league defeat in 16 months. Leverkusen were beaten 3-2 at home by RB Leipzig before the international break, the first loss since May last year for the reigning league and cup champions. While any defeat, particularly against a likely title rival, would have disappointed coach Xabi Alonso, the way in which it happened would be most concerning. Just as they did in the Supercup against VfB Stuttgart and in the league opener to Borussia Moenchengladbach, Leverkusen scored first, but were pegged back. However, while Leverkusen rallied late to
If all goes well when the biggest marathon field ever gathered in Australia races 42km through the streets of Sydney on Sunday, World Marathon Majors (WMM) will soon add a seventh race to the elite series. The Sydney Marathon is to become the first race since Tokyo in 2013 to join long-established majors in New York, London, Boston, Berlin and Chicago if it passes the WMM assessment criteria for the second straight year. “We’re really excited for Sunday to arrive,” race director Wayne Larden told a news conference in Sydney yesterday. “We’re prepared, we’re ready. All of our plans look good on
The lights dimmed and the crowd hushed as Karoline Kristensen entered for her performance. However, this was no ordinary Dutch theater: The temperature was 80°C and the audience naked apart from a towel. Dressed in a swimsuit and to the tune of emotional music, the 21-year-old Kristensen started her routine, performed inside a large sauna, with a bed of hot rocks in the middle. For a week this month, a group of wellness practitioners, called “sauna masters,” are gathering at a picturesque health resort in the Netherlands to compete in this year’s Aufguss world sauna championships. The practice takes its name from a
When details from a scientific experiment that could have helped clear Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva landed at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the leader of the organization’s reaction was unequivocal: “We have to stop that urgently,” he wrote. No mention of the test ever became public and Valieva’s defense at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) went on without it. What effect the information could have had on Valieva’s case is unclear, but without it, the skater, then 15 years old, was eventually disqualified from the 2022 Winter Olympics after testing positive for a banned heart medication that would later
