 Nurse's shot from the left point beat Jeremy Swayman for the game-winning tally, putting an end to Boston's season-long, 10-game winning streak. Evan Bouchard and Ryan McLeod also scored for Edmonton, which has won back-to-back games and four of its last five.

David Pastrnak logged a goal and an assist while Brad Marchand also scored for the Bruins.

The loss was Boston's first since February 11th. The Bruins had also been 35-0-2 when leading after two periods and 33-0-3 when scoring first this season.

It also served as the third time in franchise history that the team has scored 10 goals in a road game, with the then-Minnesota North Stars reaching that total on January 27th, 1984 (versus St. Louis) and Dec. 11, 1985 (against Detroit).

Golden Knights 4, Lightning 3 (OT)

Alec Martinez chipped in the game-winning marker with a head-first dive in overtime as Vegas slipped past host Tampa Bay.

After the Lightning tied it with two goals in the closing 2:07, Vegas center Jack Eichel sent a shot from the slot that was partially stopped by goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy (17 saves). As it trickled near the goal line, Martinez dove in and got a piece of the puck for his second goal as the Knights won for the fourth time in five games.

Keegan Kolesar, William Karlsson and Chandler Stephenson also scored as Vegas swept the season series from Tampa Bay and moved to 19-8-2 against the Eastern Conference. Brayden Point's two goals for Tampa Bay tied his career-high 41 set in the 2018-19 season. He also had an assist.

Devils 3, Capitals 2 (SO)
