CHICAGO (AP) Vladimir Tarasenko scored at 3:54 of a whistle-free overtime to give the St. Louis Blues a 6-5 come-from-behind win over Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.
Tarasenko, who also set up a goal, beat Corey Crawford on the glove side from the slot for his seventh goal after taking a nifty behind-the-back centering pass from Alex Pietrangelo.
Alexander Steen scored twice goals, and Robby Fabbri, Jay Bouwmeester and David Backes each had a goal and an assist in regulation for St. Louis, which allowed more than three goals for the first time this season.
Patrick Kane, Brent Seabrook, Teuvo Teravainen and Andrew Shaw each had a goal and an assist and Marko Dano – recalled from the minors on Monday – got his first goal to help the Blackhawks take a 5-2 lead after one period.
Anaheim’s Chris Stewart scored in the second period and again in the fourth round of the shootout as the Ducks defeated the Florida Panthers 3-2 to claim consecutive wins for the first time this season.
Corey Perry tied it on his first goal of the season with 5.1 seconds left in regulation for the Ducks. Frederik Andersen stopped 23 shots for Anaheim, denying Jonathan Huberdeau on the decisive shootout try.
Jakob Silfverberg also scored in the shootout for the Ducks, who could be turning around their nightmare start with the NHL’s lowest-scoring offense and worst power play.
In Vancouver, British Columbia, Sidney Crosby scored his second goal of the season and Marc-Andre Fleury made 18 saves as the Pittsburgh Penguins held off the Vancouver Canucks 3-2.
David Perron and Eric Fehr also scored, and Phil Kessel had two assists as the Penguins won their fifth straight.
Daniel Sedin and Jannik Hansen had goals for Vancouver, and Ryan Miller stopped 20 shots.
Crosby scored on a 4-on-3 power play after taking a nice feed from Kessel in front and beating Miller on a slick backhand to make it 2-0 at 7:17 of the third.
Fehr gave the Penguins a three-goal lead less than 3 minutes later on a wrist shot for his second of the season.
The Winnipeg Jets downed the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 after Alexander Burmistrov scored the tiebreaking goal late in the third period.
Dustin Byfuglien and Mark Scheifele also scored and Bryan Little added an empty-netter in the final minute for the Jets, who bounced back nicely after a 5-1 loss at Montreal on Sunday. Toby Enstrom, Mathieu Perrault and Blake Wheeler had two assists each, and Ondrej Pavelec finished with 24 saves.
P.A. Parenteau and Leo Komarov scored for Toronto, and James Reimer had 30 saves.
