Andre Burakovsky scored in regulation for the Capitals (49-13-4), who earned their third victory in four games. Flyers 4, Lightning 2 Shayne Gostisbehere made more franchise history on Monday and the Philadelphia Flyers snapped the Tampa Bay Lightning's nine-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory at Wells Fargo Center. Gostisbehere scored two markers to give him 14, breaking Behn Wilson's record for most goals in a season by a Philadelphia rookie defenseman set in 1978-79, when he recorded 13. Earlier in the season, Gostisbehere set the point-streak record by a Flyers rookie at 15 games. Sabres 4, Maple Leafs 3 (shootout) Sam Reinhart scored the shootout winner as the Buffalo Sabres edged the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 on Monday night at Air Canada Centre.

Bruins 5, Panthers 4 (overtime) Lee Stempniak scored with one minute left in overtime as the Boston Bruins earned a wild 5-4 win over the Florida Panthers on Monday night at the BB&T Center.

Sharks 2, Flames 1 (overtime) Joe Pavelski scored 19 seconds into overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Monday at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Avalanche 3, Coyotes 1 Matt Duchene had a goal and an assist, Semyon Varlamov made 37 saves in his return to the net, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-1 on Monday night. Mikhail Grigorenko also had a goal and an assist and Shawn Matthias scored for Colorado, which got a valuable two points against a struggling team. Kings 5, Canucks 1 Two third-period goals by Jeff Carter and another one by Vinny Lecavalier allowed the Los Angeles Kings to break open a close contest and cruise to a 5-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night at Staples Center.
