The Kings' spurt is their best run in 31 years. Los Angeles can match the franchise record when it plays the eighth of a 10-game road trip at the New York Rangers on Thursday.

Los Angeles also has points in eight straight road games for its top surge since 1984.

The Blue Jackets forced overtime on Kris Russell's goal with 1:23 left in regulation.

Andrei Loktionov had a goal and an assist, and Justin Williams and Drew Doughty also scored for the Kings.

Jonathan Quick had 21 saves through overtime and stopped all three shots in the shootout.

Rick Nash and Jake Voracek each had a goal and an assist, and Derek MacKenzie had two assists for Columbus, which had won five of six. Mathieu Garon had 26 saves.

At Anaheim, California, Alexander Semin completed his seventh career hat trick by scoring the tying and go-ahead goals in the final minutes as Washington rallied to snap its three-game losing streak with a victory over Anaheim.

Semin tied it with 8:23 to play and put the Capitals ahead with 1:47 left, ending the supremely streaky scorer's 17-game goal drought.

Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry had a goal and three assists apiece for the Ducks, whose four-game winning streak ended.

At Sunrise, Florida, Mike Richards and Andreas Nodl scored 65 seconds apart in the first period as Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia held on to beat Florida.

James van Riemsdyk also scored for the Flyers, who improved their NHL-best road record to 19-6-3. Daniel Briere had an empty-net goal and two assists.

Rostislav Olesz and Booth scored for the Panthers.

At Newark, New Jersey, Ilya Kovalchuk scored his 20th goal of the season and sixth in seven games as New Jersey took another step in its unlikely playoff push by beating Carolina.

Brian Rolston and Patrik Elias blew the game open with goals early in the third period as the Devils won for the 13th time in 16 games and moved within 12 points of eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Johan Hedberg made 25 saves for New Jersey, which was 27 points below the postseason cutoff line heading into its game against Tampa Bay on Jan. 9. The Devils are 13th in the East.

Sergei Samsonov and Tuomo Ruutu scored for eighth-place Carolina.

At Denver, Tyler Kennedy scored a power-play goal 4:10 into overtime and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 29 shots as Pittsburgh sent Colorado to its ninth straight loss.

Joe Vitale and Jordan Staal added goals for the injury-plagued Penguins, who snapped a two-game skid.

Chris Stewart and Cameron Gaunce scored for the Avalanche, who are in the midst of their longest skid since moving to Denver for the 1995-96 season.

At Buffalo, New York, Joey Crabb's short-handed goal midway through the third period snapped Toronto's seven-game losing streak at Buffalo.

Phil Kessel also scored for Toronto, which hadn't won in Buffalo since Dec. 12, 2008. The Maple Leafs have beaten their Northeast Division rival only twice in 15 meetings.

Paul Gaustad scored for the Sabres.

At Chicago, Troy Brouwer's perfectly placed centering pass went off a Minnesota defenseman for the tiebreaking goal in the third period to help Corey Crawford and Chicago win without ailing coach Joel Quenneville.

Quenneville was admitted to a hospital with an undisclosed illness after he started feeling discomfort at home late Tuesday.

Assistant Mike Haviland was in charge with Quenneville away, and the Blackhawks responded with a much-needed victory in their first home game since a 4-2 loss to Minnesota on Jan. 25.

Crawford made 33 saves, and Brian Campbell also scored for Chicago. Jake Dowell added an empty-net goal with 59 seconds left, and Marian Hossa had two assists.

At Calgary, Alberta, Cory Sarich and Steve Staios scored just over two minutes apart in the third period to send surging Calgary past Dallas.

Sarich, a defenseman, gave Calgary the lead at 2:35 with his third goal of the season, a snap shot into the top corner from just inside the blue line. Then, with the Flames short handed, Staios fired a long slap shot past Kari Lehtonen for his second goal.

Olli Jokinen and Tom Kostopolous also scored for Calgary, which has used a 10-1-2 run to move into eighth place in the Western Conference — one point ahead of Los Angeles.

Mike Ribeiro and Jamie Langenbrunner scored for Dallas, which played without leading scorer Brad Richards for the second game.
