DETROIT — Brayden Point scored a power-play goal at 2:28 of overtime and the Tampa Bay Lightning snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.

Point scored on a rebound of Steven Stamkos’ shot. Stamkos scored a third-period, power-play goal for the Lightning, while Anthony Cirelli assisted on both goals as Tampa Bay moved back into third place in the Atlantic Division, one point behind Boston and one ahead of Toronto.

Brian Elliott, who was making his first start since March 12 and just his fifth since Dec. 31, stopped 26 shots.

Oskar Sundqvist scored the Red Wings goal and Alex Nedeljkovic made 34 saves. Sundqvist’s goal was his second in three games since he was acquired in a trade with St. Louis on Monday.

CANADIENS 4, MAPLE LEAFS 2: Paul Byron broke a tie with 2:28 left, Jake Allen made 49 saves and Montreal won at home.

Taking advantage of a Toronto turnover, Byron skated the puck the length of the ice and waited patiently before beating Erik Kallgren.

David Savard scored in consecutive games, Cole Caufield added a goal and Christian Dvorak had an empty-netter.

Auston Matthews and William Nylander scored for Toronto and Mitch Marner had two assists.

Matthews opened the scoring 36 seconds into the game with his NHL-leading 47th goal. He matched his career high set in 2019-20.

PANTHERS 4, SENATORS 3: Aleksander Barkov got the tying goal late in the third period before scoring the shootout winner, helping Florida overcome a three-goal deficit at Ottawa.

Anthony Duclair and Patric Hornqvist also scored for Florida. Recently acquired Claude Giroux had two assists and Sergei Bobrovsky made 19 saves.

GOLDEN KNIGHTS 5, BLACKHAWKS 4: Evgenii Dadonov scored in overtime and Vegas overcame a three-goal deficit in the third period to beat visiting Chicago.

The Golden Knights trailed 3-0 entering the third but got goals from Chandler Stephenson, William Karlsson, Jack Eichel and Alex Pietrangelo.

Dadonov then scored for the second time in two games since returning to Vegas’ roster after the NHL negated a trade to Anaheim because of his no-trade clause.

Logan Thompson stopped 30 shots for Vegas, allowing goals by Dominik Kubalik, Jonathan Toews, Dylan Strome and Alex DeBrincat.

CANUCKS 4, STARS 1: Elias Petterson had two goals and a pair of milestones as Vancouver won at Dallas.

Petterson’s second goal was his 20th of the season and the 200th career point for the fourth-year player from Sweden.

His second score started a three-goal barrage in the third period. Bo Horvat and Conor Garland also scored for the Canucks. Thatcher Demko stopped 35 shots.

CAPITALS 4, DEVILS 3: Nicklas Backstrom scored the go-ahead goal and then added an assist on Alex Ovechkin’s team-leading 42nd goal as Washington won at home.

HURRICANES 7, BLUES 2: Andrei Svechnikov celebrated his 22nd birthday with two goals, leading Carolina to a win at St. Louis.

WILD 3, BLUE JACKETS 2: Jared Spurgeon scored on a give-and-go 1:24 into overtime and Minnesota beat visiting Columbus in goalie Marc-Andre Fleury’s debut with the Wild.

Fleury, a three-time Stanley Cup winner who has the fourth-most playoff wins in NHL history, stopped 23 shots for Minnesota, which won its fifth straight game.
