T.J. Oshie scored twice in the third period and the hot Washington Capitals spoiled Mike Sullivan's debut as Pittsburgh's coach with 4-1 thrashing Monday. Nicklas Backstrom, who assisted on both Oshie goals during a three-point night, and defenseman John Carlson scored in the opening 7:04. Goaltender Braden Holtby — who has not allowed more than two goals in his last seven starts — made the lead hold up with 44 saves. The Capitals (21-6-2) won for the ninth time in their last 11 games and are 10-3-1 on the road. Lightning 2, Blue Jackets 1: Brian Boyle scored a short-handed goal in the third period, and Tampa Bay held on for a victory over Columbus. Boyle took a pass from Alex Killorn and sent a bullet of a slap shot past the glove of Blue Jackets rookie goaltender Joonas Korpisalo at 6:13 for his eighth goal of the season. Oilers 3, Bruins 2 (OT): Andrej Sekera converted his own rebound 41 seconds into overtime as Edmonton won their sixth game in a row and recorded the franchise's first win in Boston in almost two decades. The Oilers, coming off their first 5-0 homestand since 1987, squandered a 2-0 lead but had 47 saves from backup goaltender Cam Talbot. Sekera took a pass from Jordan Eberle and had his shot blocked by defenseman Torey Krug. The puck came right back to Sekera, who got around Landon Ferraro and beat goaltender Jonas Gustavsson with his second goal of the season. Sabres 2, Red Wings 1: Ryan O'Reilly and Johan Larsson scored a minute apart late in the third period to give Buffalo a come-from-behind win against Detroit. Chad Johnson made 31 saves for Buffalo. Brad Richards scored for Detroit, who had their 13-game point streak (8-0-5) snapped. Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek made 28 saves. Senators 5, Kings 3: Mike Hoffman scored twice and added an assist, leading Ottawa past Los Angeles. Mika Zibanejad had a goal and two assists, while Erik Karlsson and Kyle Turris had the other Ottawa goals. Craig Anderson made 33 saves for the win. Jamie McBain, Jake Muzzin and Tyler Toffoli scored for the Kings.
