CHICAGO: Jonas Hiller made 49 saves and Mikael Backlund scored at 4:35 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.
Dennis Wideman also scored for the Flames, who were coming off a 3-2 win at Nashville on Tuesday.
The Blackhawks controlled the action for much of the night, enjoying a whopping 50-18 advantage in shots on goal. But Hiller was outstanding and Backlund used a wrist shot to beat Corey Crawford on his glove side for his first goal of the season.
Andrew Shaw scored in the third period for Chicago, and Crawford had 16 saves.
Bruins 3, Red Wings 2 (SO): Center David Krejci and right winger Reilly Smith scored in the shootout to give the Boston Bruins a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.
Krejci and Smith also scored goals for Boston in regulation while goaltender Tuukka Rask made 18 saves.
Wingers Tomas Tatar and Gustav Nyquist scored for Detroit while goalie Jimmy Howard stopped 37-of-39 shots in regulation and overtime.
Nyquist’s power-play goal 2:56 into the third tied the game at 2-2.
Coyotes 7, Oilers 4: Arizona left winger Mikkel Boedker scored his first career hat-trick and Connor Murphy and Rob Klinkhammer scored 67 seconds apart in the second period to help the Coyotes to a 7-4 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.
Boedker scored the Coyotes’ first goal in the first period and flipped a backhand shot that slipped through Edmonton goaltender Ben Scrivens’ pads for an easy tally and a 5-3 lead at 9:07 of the third period.
He scored an empty netter with 26.7 seconds remaining for his fifth goal of the season, one behind Rangers winger Rick Nash among NHL leaders.
Edmonton, one of four winless teams in the league, is off to its worst start since losing its first four games in 1995-96.
