Tyson Foerster scored the only goal for the Flyers -- his team-leading 10th -- but later exited with an upper-body injury. The high-scoring winger fell to his knees in pain after attempting an uncontested one-timer before shuffling off to the locker room.

Dan Vladar allowed five goals on 27 shots for Philadelphia, which had won five of its previous six games.

Husso, a former Blues netminder, was pressed into the lead role for Anaheim with Lukas Dostal and Petr Mrazek sidelined by injuries. Pavel Mintyukov and Leo Carlsson each had a goal and an assist as the Ducks snapped their 10-game losing streak against the Blues. Mason McTavish and Chris Kreider also scored for Anaheim.

Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington stopped just three of the five shots he saw before getting pulled. Joel Hofer stopped 19 of 20 shots in relief. Jordan Kyrou scored the St. Louis goal.

Sharks 6, Mammoth 3

Tyler Toffoli scored twice and added two assists as host San Jose doubled up Utah.

Will Smith added two goals and an assist, while Pavol Regenda and Adam Gaudette also found the back of the net for the Sharks, who have won five of their last eight and improved to 9-4-3 on home ice. Macklin Celebrini picked up three assists, extending his home point streak to eight games (six goals, nine assists).

Yaroslav Askarov made 31 saves as the Sharks took two of three meetings against the Mammoth this season. Lawson Crouse scored twice and JJ Peterka also scored for Utah, which has dropped four straight and eight of 10 (2-5-3).

Sabres 5, Jets 1

In his return to the lineup, Josh Norris had two goals and an assist as Buffalo crushed visiting Winnipeg.

Jason Zucker, Bowen Byram and Alex Tuch also scored for the Sabres. Josh Doan and Zach Benson both chipped in two assists. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 23 stops.

Will Smith added two goals and an assist, while Pavol Regenda and Adam Gaudette also found the back of the net for the Sharks, who have won five of their last eight and improved to 9-4-3 on home ice.

Macklin Celebrini picked up three assists, extending his home point streak to eight games (six goals, nine assists).

Yaroslav Askarov made 31 saves as the Sharks took two of three meetings against the Mammoth this season.

Lawson Crouse scored twice and JJ Peterka also scored for Utah, which has dropped four straight and eight of 10 (2-5-3).

Karel Vejmelka made six saves and was replaced by Vitek Vanecek, who stopped 18 shots.

Trailing 6-2, Crouse added his second of the night, a short-handed redirection of a Mikhail Sergachev pass past Askarov.

The Sharks scored three unanswered in the second period to open a four-goal lead.

San Jose took a 4-2 lead at 6:16 of the second as Smith toe-dragged around Nate Schmidt and Brandon Tanev before putting his shot between the pads of Vanecek.

Gaudette gave the Sharks a three-goal lead, putting a backhand shot past the glove of Vanecek at 7:25 of the middle frame.

Smith added his second of the period at 9:09, putting a Toffoli feed under the glove of Vanecek.

Toffoli, who tied a career high with his four-point game, opened the scoring at 4:41 of the first, snapping a Celebrini feed past a screened Valmeljka.

San Jose doubled its lead on a power play at 7:58 as Regenda redirected a Philipp Kurashev shot past Vejmelka for his first goal of the season.

Utah got on the board midway through the period as Crouse tapped in a cross-crease pass from Michael Carcone.

Toffoli added his second of the opening period, restoring the two-goal lead at 12:59, snapping a shot past Valmeljka off a Celebrini faceoff win.

The goal ended Valmeljka's night as the Utah starter allowed three goals on nine shots.

The Mammoth responded with four minutes remaining in the first as Peterka beat Askarov short side over the shoulder.

The Sharks and Mammoth had split their first two meetings, with each team winning on home ice.

Now the question is, will he start or back up Akira Schmid?

Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said he wouldn't announce his starter until Tuesday morning but "I'm sure you'll see a lot of both goalies" in the near future, which includes a five-game road trip that begins Friday at New Jersey.

The 27-year-old Hart, a second-round pick of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2016, was one of five players found not guilty of sexual assault charges in July in London, Ontario. The players -- all members of Canada's World Junior Championship gold medal-winning team -- were accused of assaulting a woman in a hotel room after a Hockey Canada gala.

The NHL suspended all five players after determining their conduct did not meet "the highest level of moral integrity" expected by the league.

Hart signed a two-year, $4 million contract with Vegas on Oct. 24 and has been practicing with the nearby AHL Henderson Silver Knights. He appeared in three AHL games and posted a 3.07 goals-against average and .839 save percentage.

"I've worked my (butt) off to get to this point, and for me the key is preparation," Hart told reporters after practice on Monday. "I've been doing everything I can to be prepared, and I'll be prepared if I get the call tomorrow."

Hart compiled a 96-93-29 record, 2.94 goals-against, and .906 save percentage in 227 games with the Flyers before the league-mandated suspension, which was lifted on Monday. His last NHL start came on Jan. 20, 2024, in a 7-4 loss to Colorado. He was pulled after two periods after yielding five goals on 15 shots.

Hart is expected to give a boost to a shaky goaltending situation for the Golden Knights, who lost starter Adin Hill to a lower-body injury on Oct. 20. Vegas was 5-0-2 at the time of Hill's injury but has gone just 6-6-6 since and ranks just 15th in goals-against (2.96). Vegas has also struggled badly in overtime contests, compiling a league-worst 1-8 record.

"Akira (9-2-4, 0.896 save percentage) has played well too," Cassidy said. "I'm sure you'll see a lot of both goalies, but Carter has waited a long time to play, so he's definitely going to get his share of starts."

Chicago, which snapped a five-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over Pacific Division co-leader Anaheim on Sunday, will be playing the first game of a four-game western road trip that includes back-to-back games with the Los Angeles Kings and a rematch with the Ducks on Sunday.

Connor Bedard scored two goals, including the game-winner midway through the third period, and had two assists in the comeback win against Anaheim. The Blackhawks trailed 3-0 midway through the first period but rallied with five consecutive goals, the final one an empty-netter by Bedard with 1:55 remaining.

"That's not an acceptable start," Bedard, who entered Monday night tied for second in the NHL with 37 points, said. "I think everyone took it upon themselves to up their game a little bit more. That's a game we needed, five games straight without being able to pick up a win. I think we all took the initiative there after the first and stepped it up."

Vegas is 15-3-3 all-time against the Blackhawks, including 8-2-1 at T-Mobile Arena.

Husso, a former Blues netminder, was pressed into the lead role for Anaheim with Lukas Dostal and Petr Mrazek sidelined by injuries.

Pavel Mintyukov and Leo Carlsson each had a goal and an assist as the Ducks snapped their 10-game losing streak against the Blues. Mason McTavish and Chris Kreider also scored for Anaheim.

Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington stopped just three of the five shots he saw before getting pulled. Joel Hofer stopped 19 of 20 shots in relief.

Jordan Kyrou scored the St. Louis goal.

The Ducks seized a 1-0 lead 6:33 into the game when McTavish hammered a one-time shot from the left wall past Binnington's short side.

Kyrou answered just 20 seconds later. Robert Thomas maneuvered in from the left wing and slid a cross-ice pass to Kyrou breaking toward the right post.

Anaheim chased Binnington midway through the first period. Mintyukov beat him with a shot off the rush from the right boards to put the Ducks up 2-1.

The teams exchanged 2-on-1 rushes in the scoreless second period, but Blues winger Dalibor Dvorsky missed the net on his break with Pavel Buchnevich and Kreider couldn't beat Hofer after taking a cross-ice pass from Cutter Gauthier.

During the final 2 minutes of the period, the teams exchanged offensive flurries. But Hofer made tough saves at one end, then the Blues failed to convert passes and redirections around the net at the other end.

The Blues had chances to tie the game early in the third period. But Husso stopped Kyrou at point-blank range, then he turned aside Thomas' shot from the right faceoff dot off the rush.

Anaheim increased its lead to 3-1 at the 5:58 mark when Carlsson deflected Radko Gudas' shot from the right point.

With Husso pulled for an extra attacker, Kreider scored an empty-net goal with 2:37 left to make it 4-1.

Jason Zucker, Bowen Byram, and Alex Tuch also scored for the Sabres. Josh Doan and Zach Benson chipped in two assists. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 23 stops.

Kyle Connor was the lone goal scorer for the Jets. Backstopping for Winnipeg, Eric Comrie made 11 saves and Thomas Milic made 15.

The Sabres set the tone early, striking on the power play to open a dominant first period. Zucker pounced on a loose puck in front and stuffed it past Comrie just 2:46 into the game.

Buffalo doubled the lead only 15 seconds later when Byram jumped into the rush and wired a shot into the net to make it 2-0. Comrie surrendered two goals on the first three shots he faced.

Norris, who was activated before the game after missing every contest since Buffalo's season opener on Oct. 9 against the Rangers, pushed the lead to 3-0 at 14:54. Norris walked out from the side of the net and jammed the puck home.

Milic replaced Comrie to start the second period in net for Winnipeg.

The Jets finally got on the board at 11:26 of the second period, when Connor batted a shot from the top of the crease that trickled over the line to cut the deficit to 3-1.

The Sabres would quickly restore their three-goal cushion just 1:23 later. Tuch drove the net and buried his own rebound from a sharp angle, pushing the lead to 4-1.

Just 41 seconds into the final frame, Norris was sprung on a breakaway and buried his second of the game, extending Buffalo's advantage to 5-1. That would hold to be the final score.

Miles Wood notched one goal and one assist while Denton Mateychuk added a goal for the Blue Jackets, who snapped a four-game winless skid. Zach Werenski collected a pair of assists.

Goaltender Elvis Merzlikins made 30 saves in a strong outing after surrendering a pair of early goals.

Nico Hischier netted one goal and one assist while Ondrej Palat and Timo Meier added goals for the Devils. Jesper Bratt had two assists.

Goalie Jake Allen stopped 19 shots for the Devils.

After the visitors fell behind by a pair, Mateychuk put Columbus on the board just before the midway point of the opening frame with a power-play goal thanks to a nifty redirect.

Monahan tied the game 88 seconds into the second period, finishing a chance from the doorstep after he knocked a loose puck out of the air to help him get behind the defender.

The Blue Jackets broke the game open with a pair of goals 34 seconds apart early in the third period.

Coyle gave Columbus its first lead at 6:40 by pouncing on a long rebound for his first goal in nine outings.

Soon after, Monahan notched his second of the game with a quick release shot from the bottom of the right circle to make it a 4-2 affair.

Meier made it a one-goal game thanks to a power-play goal with 8:09 remaining in regulation.

However, Wood responded soon after with a tap-in tally set up by Coyle's steal of an Allen pass attempt from deep in the Devils zone to round out the scoring.

The Devils staked a two-goal lead thanks to a pair of goals on successive shots. Hischier's power-play goal opened the scoring 86 seconds into the game and Palat doubled the lead at 3:03 by burying an open chance deep in the zone.

It was a spirited affair which boasted four fights in the second period alone, with the temperature rising significantly after New Jersey's Brenden Dillon -- who played his 1,000th game -- went to the dressing room after landing on his face during a tussle with Dmitri Voronkov. Dillon returned to the game before the intermission but did not play in the third period.

Bryan Rust chipped in with a goal and two assists for Pittsburgh, which has won three of its last four games. Tommy Novak and Kevin Hayes also scored for the Penguins, while Tristan Jarry made 28 saves.

Tyson Foerster scored the only goal for the Flyers -- his team-leading 10th -- but later exited with an upper-body injury. The high-scoring winger fell to his knees in pain after attempting an uncontested one-timer before shuffling off to the locker room.

Dan Vladar allowed five goals on 27 shots for Philadelphia, which had won five of its previous six games.

Crosby opened the scoring 9:18 into the contest when he slammed home a rebound of a shot by Rust.

Foerster tied it early in the second period with Philadelphia skating 5-on-3. He took a shot from the left circle that slipped through Jarry with traffic in front of the net.

Pittsburgh responded with a pair of power-play goals later in the period - Crosby's 18th of the season and Rust's eighth.

Crosby scored the go-ahead goal on a one-timer from the slot, courtesy of Rust's nifty feed. Rust made it 3-1 with 4:08 left in the period, snapping a perfect shot into the top-right corner of the net.

Crosby has 59 career goals against the Flyers -- his most against any team -- and has seven goals in his last seven games. Only two players in the league have more goals this season than the 38-year-old Crosby.

Evgeni Malkin's third-period goal was challenged and overturned due to goaltender interference, leaving Philadelphia down 3-1. However, it ultimately didn't matter much, as Novak and Hayes scored down the stretch to create a comfortable margin for the visitors.

Foote, who won two Stanley Cups and reached six conference finals with Colorado, brings his scuffling Vancouver squad to Denver to face the Avalanche on Tuesday night.

The Canucks have lost five of their last six and are 2-5-3 in their last 10 games heading into a matchup with the best team in the NHL.

Vancouver's goaltending has been somewhat chaotic over the last week. Kevin Lankinen was away from the team for personal reasons before returning to the net in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss at Los Angeles, Thatcher Demko has been out for three weeks with a lower-body injury and isn't on the current road trip and Nikita Tolopilo is away from the team to be with his wife, who was giving birth to the couple's first child.

"Tolo's done a great job for us," Foote said Sunday of the 25-year-old goalie. "Demko has been skating every day at home. (Sunday) he had his first day off in a while and things look good."

The slow start to the season has rumors circulating that the Canucks could trade unrestricted free agents Kiefer Sherwood, Evander Kane, David Kampf, Teddy Blueger or Derek Forbort. Sherwood leads the Canucks with 12 goals; veteran Kane has five goals and nine assists in his first season in Vancouver.

Colorado has been playing well while second-line winger Valeri Nichushkin has been on the injured list, but he was a full participant in Monday's practice and may return to the lineup against the Canucks. Nichushkin hasn't played since Nov. 11 due to a lower-body injury.

If he does return, it bolsters an already potent lineup, led by Nathan MacKinnon, whose 44 points (20 goals, 24 assists) tops the NHL scoring list. His linemate, Martin Necas, is second on the Avalanche in scoring with 33 points (13 goals, 20 assists) and Cale Makar is third with 32 points (nine goals, 23 assists). Makar leads all NHL defensemen in scoring.

Brock Nelson has tallied 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) but he has begun to find some success. He had just four points in 12 games in October but has come on in November; he ended the month with a four-point effort in a win over Montreal on Saturday (two goals, two assists).

"The last couple of games and the last couple of weeks I feel like we've done a better job of getting more attacks, more shots and being a bit more dangerous," he said.

Saturday's 7-2 rout completed an 11-win month for Colorado and kept it unbeaten in regulation at home (10-0-2). The Avalanche, who have just one regulation loss in 25 games, have won their last eight home games and are averaging more than five goals in those games. They have netted at least six goals on four occasions.

The Oilers carry some momentum into Tuesday's clash after Stuart Skinner's 26-save shutout in Edmonton's critical 4-0 blanking of the Seattle Kraken on Saturday.

A strong goaltending performance came at the perfect time for an Oilers squad that has allowed three or more goals in 19 of their 26 games this season.

"I thought it was good." Skinner remarked following Saturday's road win. "I was able to play a solid game, but I thought you could see that from everybody. I think this was one of the games where we were able to play a really solid 60-minute game."

Alongside Skinner's shutout, the Oilers top dogs came to play with Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all collecting a goal and an assist in the victory.

Draisaitl extended his point streak to eight games (five goals, eight assists). Nugent-Hopkins impressed in his return after missing the previous nine games with an undisclosed injury.

"This is how you want to respond, no question about it," Nugent-Hopkins said. "But now we look forward to the next one on Tuesday. We'll take a day to get a little rest, and then back at it on Monday, but this is how you want to respond. It shows a lot of good things for our group."

The Wild will be eyeing a return to the win column, where they'd found themselves in seven straight games before Saturday's 3-2 shootout defeat at home to the Buffalo Sabres.

The Wild, who open a four-game Western road trip Tuesday, were riding high coming into Saturday following Friday's gutsy 3-2 shootout win over the division-leading Colorado Avalanche.

"Anyone can beat anyone on any given night, that's why it's the hardest league in the world," said Wild coach John Hynes when speaking about the lessons his team can take away from Saturday's loss. "I think when you look at these two things, Colorado had the same game that we had (Friday) night and they came back out and they beat Montreal (Canadiens) pretty good and then we weren't at our best tonight. Not what it was (Friday) night."

"So, to me, that's where we got to grow as a team."

Wild star forwards Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy each scored in the win, with Kaprizov extending his point streak to seven games (seven goals, two assists).

Despite the shootout loss, the Wild stretched their point streak to 11 games (9-0-2).

Goaltending has been a key cog in the Wild's recent run, allowing more than three goals just once over their past 14 games and collecting four shutouts across that stretch.

Filip Gustavsson made 30 saves in Saturday's loss, but hasn't been alone in Minnesota's crease with 23-year-old Jesper Wallstedt being one of the NHL's hottest netminders.

Minnesota's 2021 first-round pick has posted a 7-0-0 record across his past seven starts, while compiling three shutouts.

Edmonton has won each of the previous two meetings, the most recent a 5-3 road victory Jan. 15, 2025.

The Predators (20 points) sit last in the 32-team NHL, two points back of the Flames. Calgary has played two more games heading into the clash of the cellar-dwellers, who are both looking to rebound from losses.

The Flames arrive after a 1-0 overtime defeat at the hands of the host Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday, while Nashville is coming off a dispiriting 5-2 home setback to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.

The Predators trailed 3-0 past the midway point before making it a one-goal game. but watched their Central Division rivals pull away and saw their modest two-game winning streak snapped.

"It's frustrating," said forward Nick Blankenburg. "We're just trying to build that consistent game. We're trying to find that for 60 minutes, and I think you'd be blind if you don't see that. There's glimpses and there's parts where it's really good. We've just got to find a way to do it ... consistently."

The Predators will likely be without forward Michael McCarron, who was injured in a fight in Saturday's clash, but it appears forward Jonathan Marchessault will return after missing the past two games due to a lower-body injury.

Adding to all of Nashville's frustrations is how the team was strong in consecutive road wins over the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks, but failed to carry any momentum home.

"We've got to play the way that we played in those two (previous games)," said forward Luke Evangelist, who has posted three consecutive multi-point games. "We were desperate."

The Flames arrive disappointed in their defeat against the Hurricanes, but buoyed by the fact they have crawled out from their opening-month struggles and are executing more along the lines of expectations.

Calgary kept a potent Carolina team in check beyond regulation time.

"We didn't get the result we wanted, but I did like a lot of the way we played," said coach Ryan Huska. "We had some really good opportunities, but we didn't capitalize on them."

For all of Calgary's struggles, the team's defensive game has become more sound as the season has progressed. Although their offensive numbers are at the bottom of the pack, the Flames are in the middle of the league in goals-against-per-game.

That is how Calgary has posted a 2-1-1 record on its five-game road trip and won four of its last six outings.

"We're playing hard. I think we're a team that can play effectively on the road, play hard road games and battle in low-scoring games," said forward Matt Coronato. "We're proud to play with that effort. We have one more game on this trip. If we could come out with a win, that would be a great finish."

After this clash, which ends a stretch in which the Flames have played seven of eight games on the road and skated in all four NHL time zones, they are scheduled to play four consecutive at home. Thus the desire to end the road swing on a high note.

"It's definitely a big game," Coronato said. "We want to get back home feeling good about things, for sure."

Unfortunately for the Islanders, their current prospects are far cloudier now than at the start of the homestand.

The undermanned Islanders will look to halt a skid when they host the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning in a battle of Eastern Conference rivals in Elmont, N.Y.

The Islanders were off Monday after taking a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals Sunday afternoon. The Lightning extended their winning streak to seven games Saturday when they beat the host New York Rangers, 4-1.

Seven members of the Islanders' active roster remain from the 2020 and 2021 teams, each of whom fell to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Lightning in the NHL semifinals.

The familiar foes and faces will see an Islanders squad in a more depleted and vulnerable position than 12 days prior, when New York concluded a 6-1-0 road trip. New York has gone 1-3-1 over the first five games of the homestand, during which it lost two more players from the 2020-21 squad.

Jean-Gabriel Pageau is week-to-week after sustaining an upper-body injury against the St. Louis Blues on Nov. 22. Kyle Palmieri will miss six to eight months after requiring surgery to repair the torn left ACL he sustained in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Islanders also lost defenseman Alexander Romanov for the season Nov. 18, when he was shoved into the boards by the Dallas Stars' Mikko Rantanen.

"If you know this group, you understand they will never give up," Islanders head coach Patrick Roy said Sunday afternoon. "This is not a group that feels sorry for themselves."

Resilience is nothing new for the Lightning, who have reached the playoffs in each of the last eight seasons. They're tied with the Avalanche for the second-longest active playoff streak in the NHL behind the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Tampa Bay, which hasn't won a playoff round since falling to the Avalanche in the 2022 Stanley Cup Final, opened the season with six losses in its first seven games (1-4-2). But the Lightning have gone 15-3-0 since Oct. 25 and will enter Tuesday with 34 points, tied for the most in the Eastern Conference with the Carolina Hurricanes ahead of Monday's action.

Tampa Bay has outscored the opposition 30-10 during its current winning streak, a span in which it hasn't faced a multi-goal deficit.

"Honestly, we've got a really good vibe going," Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said.

Brandon Hagel scored twice Saturday as he extended his goal-scoring streak to five games. Hagel has eight goals overall during the winning streak while Jake Guentzel has added six goals.

"It's pretty congested in the Eastern Conference, so we've had to go on this run just to put ourselves in a little bit of breathing room," Cooper said. "It's really tight, so we have to make up for our slow start."

This will be the first of three matchups between these two teams over a 12-day span. They'll face off again Dec. 6 in Tampa Bay and return to Long Island for a third clash Dec. 13.

Even as they linger near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the Maple Leafs' 7-2 clobbering of the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday sprung them to the top of the Atlantic Division in goals scored.

Each forward on Toronto's third line -- Bobby McMann, Dakota Joshua and Nicolas Roy -- snapped a lengthy goalless drought in the second period.

"You gotta keep doing your job, right?" Joshua said after netting his first goal in 15 games. "And then you'll get a result like that. I think it's obviously been, you know, not ideal to this point, so to get that result means a lot and now the importance in keeping it going is there."

Some of Toronto's offense has come from the blue line. Oliver Ekman-Larsson left late in the game with an upper-body injury, though not before extending his point streak to nine.

With 20 points in 25 games, the Swedish defenseman is on pace for the highest scoring season of his career.

The Leafs hope to have him back against Florida, his former team, which eliminated Toronto from the last postseason in seven games.

"I'm hoping he's fine," said head coach Craig Berube. "I don't know yet, but we'll evaluate him tomorrow. I think he'll be OK, but we'll see."

The Panthers are experiencing a rough patch in the midst of long-term injuries to star forwards Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk. They fell 5-3 to the visiting Calgary Flames on Friday as opposing netminder Devin Cooley turned away 37 shots.

Following the loss to Calgary, Florida has dropped three of its last four and three straight at home.

The two-time defending Cup champion is disappointed to be sitting outside a playoff spot, though Florida coach Paul Maurice is of two minds given the circumstances.

"Nobody cares how injured you are or what you're going through," Maurice said. "I think there's something really good that we can build out of this. We can take something out of our adversity and make it ours."

Florida's renowned depth has struggled to compensate for the absent Barkov and Tkachuk, who have yet to play this season. Reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner Sam Bennett has just 12 points in 24 games, while Carter Verhaeghe (four goals) is on pace for his lowest total since the 2019-20 season.

Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky's .882 save percentage through 17 appearances is the lowest of his 16-year career.

The Panthers are hoping a rare four-day layover at home does them some good. The matchup with Toronto is the third of a season-long six-game homestand.

"Just being able to take at least one day to get your mind off hockey completely helps a lot," said forward A.J. Greer, who has six goals and 10 points and is the rare Panther outscoring his usual pace.

While the Stars rolled to another home win and described their performance as their "most complete" showing this season, the Rangers delivered another dud in front of their fans.

The Stars attempt to earn a fifth straight win while the Rangers hope to finally start consistently winning at home Tuesday night when the teams convene in New York.

Dallas has scored 21 goals during its second four-game winning streak of the season and is 10-1-1 in its past 12 games, including 6-0-1 on the road.

The Stars scored at least five goals for the ninth time this season when they earned a 6-1 win over the visiting Ottawa Senators on Sunday. Wyatt Johnston had a hat trick along with an assist for his second four-point showing in a four-game span.

"It probably was our most complete game, for me, of the year," Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said. "The big four -- goaltending was great, the PP was great, the PK was real solid and I thought our 5-on-5 play was probably the best of the year defensively. So, when you get those four things all working, it's hard to beat."

Johnston scored both power-play goals for Dallas, which is 7-for-14 on the man advantage in the past four games and scored multiple power-play tallies for the ninth time.

Jason Robertson also scored and set up two goals, giving him 13 goals and 22 points over his past 11 games. Mikko Rantanen added three assists, giving him six goals and 21 points in his past 14.

The Rangers' 2-8-1 home record is the worst in the NHL. New York has been outscored 34-17 at home and its woes continued with a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon.

The Rangers were held to one goal or fewer at home for the eighth time this season and finished with 13 shots on goal. It was the sixth time they were held below 20 shots on goal, prompting coach Mike Sullivan to say they were "outcompeted."

The Rangers gave up the first nine shots on goal on Saturday and were outshot 11-2 in the first period.

"We did it to ourselves," captain J.T. Miller said after scoring the Rangers' lone goal. "There was no urgency (Saturday). We dipped our toe into the game, got outplayed basically the whole time. It's unacceptable. We're trying to develop a standard and an identity around here, and that was certainly not it."

The Rangers ended the game without Adam Fox, who sustained a shoulder injury on a hard hit into the boards by Tampa Bay's Brandon Hagel and will miss at least 10 games after being placed on long-term injured reserve.

Fox (three goals, 23 assists) is tied with Artemi Panarin for the team lead at 26 points. He will not be eligible to return until Dec. 21 at the earliest, meaning the Rangers will host the likes of Colorado, Vegas, Montreal and Anaheim without their top defenseman.

Following an otherwise strong road swing, the Canadiens look to continue their recent success against the struggling Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.

Montreal opened 10-3-2 before enduring an 0-4-1 slide. The Canadiens followed that skid with three straight victories, including back-to-back road wins over Utah and Vegas, before concluding that three-game trip with a lopsided 7-2 loss at Colorado on Saturday.

With a rivalry game awaiting, the Canadiens plan to regroup and potentially get back to their winning form.

"We felt confident coming (into Saturday)," Montreal's Josh Anderson told NHL.com. "It's on us as players to be harder to play against."

That's certainly been the case of late against the Senators. In a series that is traditionally physical and usually chippy, Montreal totaled 21 goals while winning four of the last five versus Ottawa.

Cole Caufield paired a goal with an assist and Nick Suzuki added two helpers when the Canadiens outlasted the visiting Senators 4-3 in overtime on Nov. 1. That matchup featured two fights and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty by Montreal's Joe Veleno.

Caufield, who boasts a seven-game point streak (two goals, six assists), has registered 11 goals and 14 points in 15 career games against the Senators. Suzuki has six goals and 22 points in 30 career matchups with Ottawa.

Ottawa opened its season-long seven-game road stretch with wins over Anaheim and San Jose but has since gone 1-3-0 after being roughed up in a 6-1 loss at Dallas on Sunday. Jake Sanderson's goal 8:36 into the second period for the Senators tied things up, but the Stars scored five unanswered.

"It's one of those games where you have to turn the page and get ready for the next one," said Senators forward Ridly Greig, who returned to the lineup after missing five games for an undisclosed reason.

"It's the end of a road trip here, so we got to find some legs for the next one."

Sanderson became the sixth defenseman in Ottawa history to record 20 points in 25 or fewer games, according to NHL.com.

Senators star Brady Tkachuk was held without a point Sunday in his second game back from missing 20 with a thumb injury. Having Tkachuk dressed for this matchup should give Ottawa some confidence considering he has 13 goals and 27 points in 30 career games versus Montreal.

Goaltender Linus Ullmark matched a season high by yielding all six goals on 26 shots faced Sunday. He made 23 saves in the November loss at Montreal.

Backup Leevi Merilainen (.874 save percentage) lost his last two starts for Ottawa.

Ottawa is 0-2-1 at Montreal since winning four in a row there.

Montreal netminders Jakub Dobes and Sam Montembeault have a combined .877 save percentage while each starting 12 games this season. Dobes has never faced the Senators, while Montembeault stopped 14 of 17 shots faced against them last month.

The host Bruins pulled out a 3-2 victory on Saturday thanks to the goaltending of Jeremy Swayman. The Red Wings went 0-for-3 in the shootout.

"I knew that it was going to be a big momentum win for us, so staying with that one-shot-at-a-time mentality, just focusing on that breakaway at hand," Swayman said. "Just excited to be part of it. I couldn't be happier to be a Bruin, couldn't be happier to be part of this team, playing in this league."

Swayman totaled 24 saves while improving his season record to 11-6-0. He has a .915 save percentage and didn't give up more than three goals in any of his 10 November starts.

"It's huge. You guys feel it, the fans, everyone, upstairs, we feel it. And most importantly, our players feel it," head coach Marco Sturm said of Swayman's impact. "It's such a good feeling when you have that. All year long, since day one I met him, he's been rock solid off the ice and on the ice."

Morgan Geekie continued to carry Boston's offense on Saturday by scoring both of its regulation goals. Geekie is tied with Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead with 20 goals entering Monday's action.

"Just try to be in the right spots for those guys to see me, and hopefully, good things will happen," Geekie said. "Lately, they've been finding me."

Lately, things haven't gone well for the Red Wings. After a brief stay atop the Atlantic Division, they have lost four straight and five of their last six.

They drew some positives out of their performance in Boston.

"We're in a little bit of a slump but I thought it was a great effort (Saturday)," defenseman Moritz Seider said. "We really stayed in the fight all night, always had an answer ready."

Seider literally got in the fight, dropping the gloves against Mark Kastelic of the Bruins. Kastelic was the clear winner in that battle but Seider felt like he was taking one for the team.

"Very tough guy but we needed a little bit of a spark," Seider said. "We get pushed around sometimes a little bit and some days you need to answer. It doesn't matter, the outcome. You just have to show face and be ready."

Detroit had given up six goals in each of its previous two games, and captain Dylan Larkin felt the club showed more grit in the shootout defeat.

‘"We battled and stood up for each other, stood up for ourselves," Larkin said. "It was a good battle game, and I think a good game for us to maybe come together and show ourselves that we can play in different ways. And when we're not feeling well offensively, we can still tighten down and play good defensively. ... I think for some of our younger players, we can protect ourselves a little better and interfere a little more with guys running around."

Following Tuesday's game, the Red Wings will embark on a six-game road trip while the Bruins will play two at home.

Wingers Zach Benson and Tage Thompson flanked Norris on the top line at morning skate as the Sabres prepared to host the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night.

"I was a little anxious. Woke up a little early this morning. Couldn't really sleep," Norris said Monday, per The Athletic. "Just excited to get back in the lineup. I really just made sure I was good before I made the decision to come back."

Norris exited Buffalo's 4-0 home loss to the New York Rangers on Oct. 9 after being hurt on a faceoff in neutral ice. He played 18:51 and put four shots on net prior to departing.

The 26-year-old Michigan product missed 24 games, the latest in a litany of long absences that have derailed stretches of his career.

An oblique injury limited Norris to 56 games last season, including three with the Sabres, who acquired him at the trade deadline in a swap that sent Dylan Cozens to the Ottawa Senators.

Norris played just 50 games in 2023-24 and eight games in 2022-23 because of injuries to his left shoulder that required surgery.

Surgery on the same shoulder in 2019 curtailed his second and final season at the University of Michigan.

Norris has totaled 91 goals and 158 points in 240 career NHL games.

The Sabres, who entered Monday with the worst record (10-11-4, 24 points) in the Eastern Conference, will embark on a six-game road trip after hosting Winnipeg.

Foote, 26, was found not guilty of sexual assault in a London, Ontario, court in July along with four teammates from the 2018 Canadian world junior team.

Foote played in the Slovak Extraliga in 2024-25 and last skated in the NHL in 2023-24 with the New Jersey Devils. He has 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) and 137 penalty minutes in 145 career games with the Devils, Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning, who drafted Foote in the first round in 2017.

He is the son of Adam Foote, the Vancouver Canucks head coach and retired NHL defenseman.

The Wolves are the minor league affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes. Because Foote's contract is AHL-only, he is ineligible to be called up to the NHL.

Foote, Dillon Dube, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart and Michael McLeod were the five players tried on sexual assault charges in Ontario Superior Court in the spring of 2025.

Months after their acquittal on July 24, the NHL reinstated the players and said they would be eligible to sign contracts with teams beginning in mid-October and could appear in games as of Dec. 1.

The Vegas Golden Knights signed Hart, a 27-year-old goaltender, to a two-year, $4 million contract in late October and recalled him from the AHL on Sunday.

Dube is a free agent. Formenton and McLeod are playing in Switzerland and Russia, respectively.

The Blues also said forward Alexey Toropchenko is week-to-week after he sustained scalding burns to his legs during an accident at home.

On Monday, St. Louis recalled forward Aleksanteri Kaskimaki from Springfield of the American Hockey League.

Snuggerud, 21, has 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 26 games this season. He has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 33 career games since being selected by St. Louis with the 23rd overall pick of the 2022 NHL Draft.

Toropchenko, 26, has totaled two points (one goal, one assist) and 15 penalty minutes in 17 games this season.

Kaskimaki, 21, has seven points (four goals, three assists) in 16 games this season with the Thunderbirds.

They held off the Ottawa Senators 4-3 Friday, then edged the Utah Mammoth 1-0 the next night. The Blues will try to continue their resurgence on Monday night when they host the Anaheim Ducks.

The Blues came into this three-game homestand with a 3-5-4 record on their own rink. Then they regained their defensive intensity while twice holding their lead in the face of late-game pressure.

"It's been great to watch the last two nights how committed guys have been to playing the right way, to sacrificing for each other, to being selfless again," Blues coach Jim Montgomery said. "It's nice to see those qualities in our team identity."

In both games the Blues kept their opponent from scoring 6-on-5 goals during the final minutes. St. Louis also killed off a five-minute penalty late in the victory over Utah while allowing just three shots on goal during that span.

"It's a testament to our attitude, to our mentality," Blues forward Dylan Holloway said. "Guys weren't getting down on the bench, guys were keeping each other up and making hell of a good plays on the PK. That was a huge kill for us."

As a result, the Blues were able to win consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 11 and 13.

"It's huge," said Holloway, who scored the only goal in Saturday's game. "I think our effort and our intensity has definitely been there these past two games. Obviously playing a back-to-back is tough. You've got to dig deep, but (the Mammoth) were playing a back-to-back too, so we knew it was going to be a bit of a grind out there and I was proud of our effort."

The Blues got strong goaltending performances from Jordan Binnington Friday and Joel Hofer Saturday, so Montgomery will have an interesting choice to make in net for this game.

The Blues will bid for their first three-game winning streak of the season against the Ducks, who fell to the Blackhawks 5-3 Sunday afternoon in Chicago.

"I think after we got the 3-0 lead, we didn't do what made us successful," Ducks coach Joel Quenneville said. "We got careless with the puck and (thought) we could do whatever we wanted to do, and that changed ... Certainly disappointed. That was one that you get it out of your mind because it could haunt you."

After their 11-3-1 start, the Ducks leveled off while going 4-6-0. They allowed 14 goals while losing two of their last three games.

With goaltender Lukas Dostal sidelined with an upper-body injury, Petr Mrazek started against the Blackhawks on Sunday. But he suffered a lower-body injury late in the game, forcing former Blues netminder Ville Husso to fill in.

Husso earned a 5-4 shootout victory Friday over the Los Angeles Kings in his return from the AHL.

"I've been playing a lot down there, so it's been good," Husso said. "The team is doing well there, too. I'm just trying to keep myself (at the) top of the game. It was not easy, but I was ready to go, and it was nice to get the two points."

With Dostal expected to miss a few weeks, Husso could take the lead role for the Ducks, starting with Monday's game.

Johnston's three goals give him 16 on the season, including an NHL-best 12 on the power play after two on Sunday. The 16 overall goals ties him for the team lead with Jason Robertson, who had a goal and two assists in the win. Mavrik Bourque and Jamie Benn also scored. Mikko Rantanen added three assists, and Roope Hintz helped on two for Dallas, which is 10-1-1 in its last 12 games.

Casey DeSmith made 15 saves for the Stars. Dallas' backup goalie is now 6-0-2 in his last eight starts. Defenseman Lian Bichsel left the game with 4:21 left in the second after hitting the boards with an apparent leg injury.

Jake Sanderson scored for Ottawa, with assists from David Perron and Nick Cousins. Senators netminder Linus Ullmark saw his personal three-game winning streak end as he stopped only 20 shots.

Hurricanes 1, Flames 0 (OT)

Nikolaj Ehlers scored with 2:08 remaining in overtime to give Carolina a narrow victory over Calgary in Raleigh, N.C.

Ehlers notched his fifth goal of the season by crashing the net and converting on a delivery from Taylor Hall, who had the puck coming down the left side. Sean Walker also assisted on the goal.

Brandon Bussi made 15 saves for his first career shutout as the Hurricanes won their second game in a row and improved to 8-3-1 at home this season. Devin Cooley stopped 16 shots for the Flames, who were held without a shot in overtime.

Blackhawks 5, Ducks 3

Connor Bedard had two goals and two assists to help Chicago rally from a three-goal deficit and beat visiting Anaheim.

Tyler Bertuzzi, Ryan Greene and Colton Dach also scored, and Spencer Knight made 23 saves for the Blackhawks, who had lost five in a row (0-4-1).

Cutter Gauthier had a goal and an assist and Olen Zellweger and Chris Kreider also scored for the Ducks. Anaheim goalie Petr Mrazek had 13 saves before leaving with a lower-body injury midway through the third period. Ville Husso replaced him and surrendered one goal on one shot.

Capitals 4, Islanders 1

Tom Wilson scored twice and Logan Thompson carried a shutout deep into the third period for Washington, which continued surging with the victory over reeling New York in Elmont, N.Y.

Aliaksei Protas and Alex Ovechkin added empty-netters in the final 71 seconds for the Capitals, who have won four straight games and seven of their past eight (7-1-0). Thompson made 30 saves and has allowed only four goals in his last three outings.

Wilson notched an assist for a three-point afternoon, while Ovechkin added an assist against the Islanders, who fell to 1-3-1 on a seven-game homestand that began after a 6-1-0 road trip.

The Athletic reported the injury was to his left shoulder with the team not viewing it as long term or season-threatening. Fox exited with 12:57 left in the third period of a 4-1 home loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday after he was checked into the boards by Lightning forward Brandon Hagel. Fox held his left arm as he left the ice and did not return.

Fox, an All-Star in 2022 and 2023, is required to miss at least 10 games and 24 days.

The 27-year-old recorded one assist in the game for a team-topping 23 this season. He shares the team lead with Artemi Panarin with 26 points in 27 games. Fox also has three goals, a plus-4 rating, 10 penalty minutes, 41 blocks and 15 hits in averaging 23:50 of ice time.

For his career, Fox has 395 points (66 goals, 329 assists) with a plus-121 rating, 184 penalty minutes, 719 blocks, 212 hits and 23:08 average ice time in 458 regular-season games since making his NHL debut in the 2019-20 season.

Fox also has five goals, 34 assists and a plus-7 rating, 28 penalty minutes, 102 blocks, 48 hits and 24:49 average ice time in 46 playoff games.

Calgary selected Fox in the third round of the 2016 NHL Draft. The Flames traded Fox to the Hurricanes in June 2018, and Carolina dealt him to New York in April 2019.

Johnston's three goals give him 16 on the season, including an NHL-best 12 on the power play. He also had an assist. The 16 overall goals ties him for the team lead with Jason Robertson, who had a goal and two assists in the win. Mavrik Bourque and Jamie Benn also scored.

Mikko Rantanen added three assists, and Roope Hintz helped on two.

Casey DeSmith made 15 saves for the Stars. Dallas' backup goalie is now 6-0-2 in his last eight starts.

Jake Sanderson scored for Ottawa, with assists from David Perron and Nick Cousins. Senators netminder Linus Ullmark saw his personal three-game winning streak end as he only stopped 20 shots.

After a scoreless opening 20 minutes, Bourque, playing in his 100th game, wasted little time in the second to give the Stars a 1-0 lead with 18:02 remaining in the middle period.

Sanderson tied the game with 11:24 left in the second, but Robertson gave the Stars the lead for good 44 seconds later.

Playing in his 400th game, Robertson coaxed Tim Stutzle into a turnover along the boards near the Senators' goal. The Stars leading scorer skated around to the high slot and beat Ullmark for his 16th goal of the season.

Robertson will hate seeing the calendar flip to December on Monday. The Stars winger finished November with 26 points (13 goals, 13 assists) in 15 games.

Johnston took over from there as he scored his first goal with 4:37 remaining in the second, off assists from Rantanen and Robertson. He scored his two power-play goals in the third and added a third point in the period on Benn's goal.

Benn, 36, playing in just his seventh game this season, had found the net in three of his last four contests.

The Stars welcomed back defensemen Ilya Lyubushkin after the blueliner missed the last six games with a lower-back injury. However, teammate Lian Bichsel left the game with 4:21 left in the second after hitting the boards with an apparent leg injury.

The Sharks' Will Smith scored twice and William Eklund also found the back of the net but San Jose fell 4-3 to the host Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.

"Effort was good," said Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky. "We competed hard. There are obviously some things in our (defense), some detail stuff. We're probably giving up five 5-on-5 chances too many. We need to get those down to give ourselves a better chance and keep the puck out of the back of our net."

With his assist on Smith's third-period goal, Macklin Celebrini registered his 100th career point, becoming the eighth-youngest player in NHL history to reach the milestone. Celebrini paces the Sharks with 14 goals and 23 assists through 26 games.

His 37 points were second to only the Colorado Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon (44) for the league lead entering Sunday's action.

Smith opened the scoring with his ninth of the season, but the Sharks then surrendered four unanswered goals. Eklund pulled San Jose to within one with 25 seconds remaining in the second period before a scoreless third.

"We got right back in it," said Alex Nedeljkovic, who made 20 saves. "We scored on the power play there; that gets us right back in it. Get one before the end of the second; it gave us a lot of life. There were a lot of good vibes here in between periods, and just trying to find a way to get the next one. They just did a good job of playing simple hockey and not giving us much."

San Jose, which is 8-4-3 on home ice this season, is 5-5-0 in its last 10 games.

Yaroslav Askarov, Monday's likely starting goaltender, is 9-6-1 with a 2.96 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage in 16 games this season.

The Sharks and Mammoth split the first two meetings this season, with each team winning on home ice.

Utah travels to San Jose as part of a season-high six-game road trip, looking to end a three-game skid.

The Mammoth dropped games on back-to-back nights to open the road trip, losing 4-3 in Dallas on Friday night before being shut out 1-0 in St. Louis on Saturday.

Karel Vejmelka made 18 saves for the Mammoth, who are 3-4-3 over their past 10 and are 5-8-2 on the road this season.

"We didn't get the result we wanted," said Utah coach Andre Tourigny. "I think we had a slow start, but we got a little better afterward.

"We had too many mistakes. We shot ourselves in the foot with turnovers."

Mammoth forward Logan Cooley left the loss in St. Louis in the third period with a lower-body injury following a knee-on-knee collision with the Blues' Alexey Toropchenko. According to reports, Cooley suffered a quad contusion and will undergo an MRI.

Cooley leads Utah with 14 goals and 23 points in 26 games.

Vejmelka is 10-7-2 with a 2.74 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 19 games this season.

Ehlers notched his fifth goal of the season by crashing the net and converting on a delivery from Taylor Hall, who had the puck coming down the left side. Sean Walker also assisted on the goal.

Brandon Bussi made 15 saves for his first career shutout as the Hurricanes won their second game in a row.

Devin Cooley stopped 16 shots for Calgary in what was a matchup between rookie goalies.

The winning goal came on Carolina's second shot of the extra session. Bussi didn't face a shot in the extra session after making six shots in the third period.

Bussi gloved Matt Coronato's breakaway shot with 11 1/2 minutes left in the third period. With about five minutes to play, Carolina's Jackson Blake received a pass alone in the slot, but he shot wide.

Eric Robinson created a buzz for the Hurricanes a bit later as he skated down the left side, but he had a tough angle on the release and Cooley made a relatively basic stop. Hurricanes forward Jordan Martintook's redirection just under the 1-minute mark was collected by Cooley.

Each team had 15 shots on goal through regulation, marking well below the average for each team -- 33.9 for Carolina, 29.7 for Calgary.

The Hurricanes, playing the third game of a seven-game homestand, have won eight of their first 12 (8-3-1) home games.

The teams combined for six shots across the first 17 minutes.

Going to the third period, Carolina had 10 shots on goal and Calgary had nine. Each team had failed on one power play.

Tyler Bertuzzi, Ryan Greene and Colton Dach also scored, and Spencer Knight made 22 saves for the Blackhawks, who had lost five in a row (0-4-1).

Cutter Gauthier had a goal and an assist, Olen Zellweger and Chris Kreider also scored and Troy Terry had two assists for the Ducks, who have lost two of three.

Anaheim goalie Petr Mrazek had 13 saves before leaving with a lower-body injury midway through the third period. Ville Husso replaced him and surrendered one goal on one shot.

The Ducks scored two goals in the first 47 seconds, the fastest two goals to start a game in team history.

Gauthier scored 15 seconds in on a one-timer from the left circle to give Anaheim a 1-0 lead.

Terry supplied the pass to Gauthier, extending Terry's point streak to seven games (two goals, six assists).

Zellweger scored 32 seconds later on a wrist shot from the same left circle to make it 2-0.

The previous fastest two goals in team history occurred in 97 seconds by Corey Perry and Patrick Eaves on March 28, 2017, against the Vancouver Canucks.

Kreider extended the lead to 3-0 when Beckett Sennecke's pass went off his skate and was redirected into the net at 10:25 of the first.

Sennecke also extended his point streak to seven games (one goal, six assists).

Chicago went on its first power play with 2:24 left in the opening period, and Bertuzzi scored 21 seconds into the man-advantage on a redirection from in front of the net to cut it to 3-1 at 17:57.

The Blackhawks came back with two goals in the second period to tie the score heading into the third.

Greene scored off a two-on-one break at 6:43 to make it 3-2, and Dach scored with a wrist shot from the left hash marks while on a power play to tie it 3-3 at 12:34.

Alex Killorn appeared to score short-handed for Anaheim with 15:39 left in the third period, but Chicago challenged for offsides, and the goal was overturned after a video review.

Shortly after Mrazek was injured, a turnover left Bedard alone in front of the crease, and he faked out Husso before sliding the puck in the net for a 4-3 lead at 9:55 of the third.

Bedard then scored into an empty net with 1:55 remaining to make it 5-3.
