PITTSBURGH — Rookie Brock Boeser scored two more goals to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night.

Boeser, after scoring twice against Philadelphia on Tuesday, added two more and now has 11 this season. Former Penguins defenseman Derrick Pouliot scored a power-play goal, his first with Vancouver. Loui Eriksson, playing in his 800th career game, scored his second. Brandon Sutter, another former Penguin, scored an empty-net goal for the Canucks, who won in Pittsburgh for the first time since Dec. 4, 2014. Vancouver is 3-5-3 at home, but has won 8 of 11 on the road this season.

Anders Nilsson withstood a third-period Penguins’ surge to stop 42 shots for the Canucks.

Jake Guentzel scored twice, both on the power play, for Pittsburgh and has eight this season. The Penguins started the season with wins in seven of their first 11, but now have just four wins in their last 12. Pittsburgh gave up two power-play goals for the second straight game and has allowed 10 in its last six.

Matt Murray stopped 31 shots for Pittsburgh.

ISLANDERS 4, FLYERS 3: Josh Bailey scored 32 seconds into overtime as New York extended visiting Philadelphia’s losing streak to six.

LIGHTNING 3, BLACKHAWKS 2: Brayden Point scored a power-play goal 3:25 into overtime, and host Tampa Bay rallied again to beat Chicago.

Tampa Bay also got goals from Ondrej Palat and Chris Kunitz, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 29 saves. Ryan Callahan had two assists.

Patrick Kane scored twice and Crawford stopped 35 shots for the Blackhawks, who blew leads in losing both games between the teams last season.
