Mark Scheifele also scored and Rasmus Kupari added an empty-net goal. Gabriel Vilardi provided two assists.

Juraj Slafkovsky gave Montreal an early lead and Sam Montembeault stopped 20 shots, but the Canadiens lost their third consecutive game after winning 10 of their previous 13.

BLACKHAWKS 4, LIGHTNING 1

Connor Bedard scored from a seemingly impossible angle, Arvid Soderblom stopped 34 shots and Chicago beat Tampa Bay.

The 19-year-old Bedard, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, sparked the Blackhawks on a power play midway through the second. He drifted to near the bottom of the right circle before firing a shot through a tiny window that got past goaltender Jonas Johansson and hit the left post for his 14th goal of the season.

Brayden Point scored early in the first period for Tampa Bay.

HURRICANES 4, RANGERS 0

Andrei Svechnikov scored twice and added an assist, Frederik Andersen made 22 saves, and Carolina beat New York.

Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis also scored for the Hurricanes, who won for the fifth time in their last six games. The Rangers lost their second in a row after earning points in 10 straight games.

The shutout was Andersen’s first this season and the 28th of his career. He has won three straight since his return after knee surgery to improve to 6-1-0.

Capitals 3, flames 1

Dylan Strome broke a 1-1 tie in the second period with a power-play goal and Washington beat Calgary.
