Jagr passes mark in Florida’s victory
Jaromir Jagr scored his 732nd goal to move past Marcel Dionne for fourth place in NHL history, and Aleksander Barkov tallied the winner in the shootout as the Florida Panthers beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-4.
Barkov scored against Jacob Markstrom, who entered the game after Ryan Miller left with an injury after allowing a goal on two shots in the shootout.
Jared McCann scored in the shootout for Vancouver, but Roberto Luongo stopped Sven Baertschi to seal the win.
Aaron Ekblad, Vincent Trocheck and Shawn Thornton also scored for the Panthers. Luongo stopped 34 shots.
Daniel Sedin scored his team-leading 15th goal of the season for the Canucks. Derek Dorsett, Sven Baertschi and Jannik Hansen also scored goals. Miller made 36 saves.
The game was tied four times in the first two periods.
Ekblad gave the Panthers a 4-3 lead on a power-play goal at 8:31 of the second. Jonathan Huberdeau passed to Jagr in the corner of the crease and Jagr dropped a perfect pass to Ekblad, who poked it past Miller.
The Canucks tied the score at 4 when Sedin and Hansen took advantage of a 2-on-1. Sedin took a pass from Hansen below the left circle and put the puck into an open net with 5:20 left in the second.
Tied at 2, each team traded goals 31 seconds apart in the second. Trocheck gave the Panthers a 3-2 lead when his shot from the slot got past Miller at 5:38. Dorsett tucked in his own rebound at 6:09 to tie the score at 3.
Jagr’s power-play goal with 11.5 seconds left in the first tied the game at 2. Barkov passed to Jagr in front and Jagr slapped the puck past Miller.
The Canucks took a 2-1 lead when Bo Horvat passed to Baertschi in the right circle, who wristed it over Luongo’s shoulder with 4:31 left in the first.
Vancouver took a 1-0 lead when Hansen deflected the puck into the net at 6:32.
Tampa Bay 5, Ottawa 2: Mike Angelidis scored his first NHL goal in almost four years and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Ottawa Senators 5-2.
The Lightning also got a pair of goals from Steven Stamkos, including one of two late empty-netters. Nikita Nesterov and Alex Killorn had the other Tampa Bay goals.
Boston 2, New Jersey 1, SO: Ryan Spooner scored the lone shootout goal and Jonas Gustavsson made 29 saves to lift the Boston Bruins over the New Jersey Devils 2-1.
Loui Eriksson had a goal in the first period for Boston, which improved to 11-1-3 in its last 15 games and pulled within one point of first-place Montreal in the Atlantic Division.
Andy Greene scored in the second for the Devils, who managed only five goals in the last five games. They’ve dropped three straight and four of five.
Spooner scored over the right shoulder of goalie Cory Schneider on the Bruins’ first attempt. Schneider made 38 saves but is winless in his last four starts against Boston.
Torey Krug, Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci all had great opportunities to score in overtime but were stymied by Schneider as the Devils were outshot 9-2. Boston missed its best chance when Bergeron’s shot hit the side of a wide-open net.
