Shea Weber and Alex Galchenyuk also scored for Montreal, which got a second straight win since a 10-0 defeat in Columbus on Friday night.

Colin Miller and David Pastrnak scored for the Bruins, who still had energy in the third period despite playing a back-to-back after a 4-0 victory Monday night over Buffalo.

Rookie Zane McIntyre had 20 saves for Boston.

SHARKS 3, CAPITALS 0: Martin Jones stopped 24 shots, Brent Burns scored his fifth goal of the season and visiting San Jose ended Washington’s five-game winning streak.

Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Burns had second-period goals for the Sharks, who had lost three straight. It was Jones’ 14th career shutout and the first of the season for the defending Western Conference champions, who scored only four goals during their three-game skid.

Joe Thornton added an empty-netter with 1:32 left.

RED WINGS 3, FLYERS 2: Andreas Athanasiou tied it midway through the third period and had the only score in the shootout, helping visiting Detroit snap a five-game losing streak.

Tomas Tatar also scored for Detroit, which ended a 12-game regular-season losing streak in Philadelphia dating to Jan. 25, 1997. The Red Wings did win the first two games of the 1997 Stanley Cup Final in Philadelphia on their way to a four-game sweep.

Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux scored and Jakub Voracek had a pair of assists for the Flyers.

In the shootout, all three Philadelphia skaters – Travis Konecny, Giroux and Voracek – missed.

After Gustav Nyquist and Frans Nielsen misfired for Detroit, Athanasiou beat Steve Mason on the forehand. Athanasiou pumped his fist along the side boards as his teammates came out to congratulate him.

DEVILS 3, HURRICANES 2: P.A. Parenteau and Taylor Hall scored in the shootout, and New Jersey rallied to win at home.

Evgeni Malkin and Carl Hagelin also scored for Pittsburgh and Matt Murray stopped 25 shots in his first home start since Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Sidney Crosby was held without a point but helped begin the sequence that set up Sheary for the go-ahead goal.

Edmonton star Connor McDavid assisted on all three Oiler goals, more than holding his own against Crosby, his childhood idol. Jordan Eberle scored twice and Patrick Maroon picked up his fifth of the season. Cam Talbot made 27 saves but couldn’t make a two-goal lead stand up.

Pittsburgh got the late lead when Edmonton forward Benoit Pouliot’s clear attempt smacked off Sheary and into the net.

The Penguins won their fourth straight and remained unbeaten in regulation.
