• NHL Roundup: Hurricanes' win streak ends at 11; Panthers' Tkachuk notches hat trick

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Artemi Panarin, K'Andre Miller and Filip Chytil scored third-period goals as the New York Rangers rallied to beat Carolina 5-3 on Tuesday night, snapping the Hurricanes' 11-game winning streak.

    Jacob Trouba and Mika Zibanejad also scored for the Rangers, who are 10-2-1 in their last 13 games. Igor Shesterkin made 20 saves in the first meeting between the teams since New York eliminated Carolina in seven games during a second-round playoff series last May.

    The Hurricanes had points in 17 straight and hadn't lost in regulation since Nov. 23.

    Carolina led 3-2 entering the third before Panarin tied it with his 11th goal 36 seconds into the period. Miller put New York ahead 4-3 with a deflection at 10:27, beating Carolina netminder Pyotr Kochetkov for the defenseman's third of the season, assisted by Zibanejad and Kaapo Kakko.

    Panarin's goal was assisted by defensemen Ryan Lindgen and Adam Fox, who has at least one point in 26 of New York's 39 games this season.

    Chytil's goal came on the power play into an empty net at 18:57.

        WASHINGTON (AP) -- Tage Thompson finished off a hat trick by scoring in overtime, and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Washington Capitals for their seventh victory in eight games.

        Thompson also set up Alex Tuch for his 18th goal with a spinning pass off the rush and was the recipient of a great pass on his second of the game. He took advantage of a Capitals turnover to score three minutes into OT for his fourth career hat trick. Tyson Jost also scored for the Sabres.

        Alex Ovechkin had two goals for Washington. Sonny Milano and Nic Dowd also scored for the Capitals.

        Players wore "Love for 3" T-shirts into the arena in honor of Damar Hamlin, the Bills safety who wears that number and who remained hospitalized in Cincinnati after going into cardiac during Buffalo's NFL game Monday night against the Bengals. Signs bearing Hamlin's name and the Bills logo lined the glass during warmups, and the Sabres said neither players nor coach Don Granato would speak to reporters Tuesday because they were still processing Hamlin's situation.
