ST. LOUIS (AP) — Charlie Coyle scored the winner in the shootout and the Boston Bruins recovered from blowing a 3-0 lead to beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Sunday for their 60th win of the season.
Linus Ullmark made 35 saves and stopped all three of St. Louis’ shootout attempts to lead Boston to its third straight win.
Jake DeBrusk, Tyler Bertuzzi and Oskar Steen all scored in regulation for Boston.
Jordan Kyrou scored twice, including the tying goal with 25 seconds left in regulation, and Torey Krug also had a goal for St. Louis. Jordan Binnington made 28 saves for St. Louis which lost its second straight game.
Dmitry Orlov appeared to have scored the winning goal 2:24 into overtime, but after a quick review the goal was overturned when it was ruled David Pastrnak was offside entering St. Louis’ zone.
RANGERS 5, CAPITALS 2
WASHINGTON (AP) — Alexis Lafrenière and Kaapo Kakko scored goals just over two minutes apart, Igor Shesterkin made 26 saves and New York snapped a two-game skid by beating Washington.
K’Andre Miller, Vladimir Tarasenko and Mika Zibanejad also scored for the Rangers, who moved three points back of the rival New Jersey Devils for second place in the Metropolitan Division with five games to play.
Dylan Strome and Aliaksei Protas, who ended a 36-game goal drought, scored for Washington. Darcy Kuemper made 29 saves, but the Capitals lost their fourth in a row and for seventh in eight games — inching closer to being eliminated and ending the team’s eight-year streak of playoff appearances.
