CHICAGO — Slovakia's Marian Hossa scored 1:44 into overtime as the Chicago Blackhawks extended their record for the best start in NHL history by beating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 Monday. Swedish forward Viktor Stalberg and Patrick Kane also scored for Chicago, who are riding a league record of 19 straight games with at least a point (16-0-3) to open the season. The Anaheim Ducks held the previous record of 16 games to begin the 2006-07 season. “The biggest thing is that we don't want to lose right now,” Kane, of the US, said. “We want to keep this thing going. I'm telling you, after the second period guys weren't very happy that we were down a goal and we knew we wanted to come back and change that right away.” Kings 5, Ducks 2: Slava Voynov scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and Los Angeles beat Anaheim for its fourth consecutive victory while snapping the Ducks' six-game winning streak. Senators 2, Canadiens 1, SO: Peter Regin scored in the fifth round of the shootout and Ben Bishop made 44 saves in regulation and overtime, leading Ottawa to a win over Montreal. Jakob Silfverberg also scored in the shootout, while David Desharnais replied for Montreal. After Regin gave the Senators the lead in the shootout, Bishop stopped Tomas Plekanec to secure Ottawa's season-high fifth straight win. Regin had a chance to end the game late in OT but his slap shot hit the post behind Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, who finished with 23 saves. Dave Dziurzynski had a goal in regulation for the Senators. Andrei Markov scored for the Canadiens. Maple Leafs 4, Flyers 2: Phil Kessel, Nikolai Kulemin, Mikhail Grabovski and Jay McClement scored to lead Toronto to a win over Philadelphia. Predators 5, Stars 4, OT: Roman Josi scored his second goal 28 seconds into overtime and Nashville edged Dallas in a game featuring six goals scored in the second period. — Agencies
