BOSTON: Andrej Sekera scored 41 seconds into overtime to lift the Edmonton Oilers to their sixth straight win, 3-2 over the Boston Bruins on Monday night.

Cam Talbot made 47 saves, and Jordon Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored first-period goals for Edmonton. The victory halted an eight-game losing streak in Boston for the Oilers, fresh off a 5-0 homestand — their best since 1987.

The Oilers won the overtime faceoff, rushed into the Boston zone and Sekera won it with a wrister from the slot after Jonas Gustavsson stopped one shot.

The Bruins had tied it on Brad Marchand’s goal with 4:38 to play in regulation.

Sabres 2, Red Wings 1: Ryan O’Reilly and Johan Larsson scored 61 seconds apart late in the third period, rallying the Buffalo Sabres to a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.

O’Reilly tied it 1-all at 15:46 when his deflected shot beat goalie Petr Mrazek between the legs. Larsson scored the go-ahead goal with 3:13 remaining, his first goal in 30 games since April 6 last season against Carolina.

Detroit had earned at least one point in 13 consecutive games.

Buffalo snapped an eight-game winless streak in Detroit with its first victory there since Oct. 13, 2006.

Capitals 4 Penguins 1: T.J. Oshie scored twice in the third period and the hot Washington Capitals spoiled Mike Sullivan’s debut as Pittsburgh’s coach.

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.

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.
