Josh Norris’ second goal of the game propelled the host Ottawa Senators to an 8-7 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.

The center’s goal just 56 seconds into the extra session capped a wild affair in the Canadian capital. Both teams rallied to tie the game in the third period, and they combined for seven power-play goals, with Ottawa getting four.

In all, 11 players found the back of the net. Like Norris, Zack MacEwen scored twice for Ottawa. Alex Laferriere and Kevin Fiala each posted two goals for Los Angeles, which lost in overtime for the second consecutive game.

Norris took a back-hand feed from Drake Batherson between the faceoff circles and then beat Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper on the short side for the game-winner. His first goal came with 10:42 left in regulation to give Ottawa a 7-6 lead, its first advantage of the game.

Devils 3, Utah Hockey Club 0

Jake Allen stopped all 20 shots he faced for New Jersey, which became the first NHL team to reach four wins this season by blanking Utah in Newark, N.J.

Seamus Casey and Stefan Noesen scored in the second period and Nico Hischier scored in the third for the Devils, whose 4-1-0 start is their best through five games since the 2018-19 team also opened 4-1-0.

Goalie Karel Vejmelka recorded 30 saves for Utah, which was trying to become the first first-year franchise to open 4-0-0. The club matched the Vegas Golden Knights’ 3-0-0 start in 2017-18 after relocating from Arizona following last season.

Panthers 4, Bruins 3

Anton Lundell and Sam Reinhart each scored two goals as visiting Florida beat Atlantic Division-rival Boston.

The linemates each scored once during a 3:20 span in the second period to break a 2-2 tie and boost the Panthers, who had been on a two-game skid since handing the Bruins a season-opening loss last Tuesday in Sunrise, Fla.

John Beecher and Mason Lohrei each had a goal and an assist, and Brandon Carlo also scored for the Bruins. Mark Kastelic assisted on all three Boston goals en route to the first three-point game of his NHL career.

Rangers 4, Red Wings 1

Igor Shesterkin made 31 saves, Mika Zibanejad had a goal and two assists and New York defeated visiting Detroit.

Alexis Lafreniere, Chris Kreider and Reilly Smith also scored for the Rangers, who have scored 16 goals while going 2-0-1 to start the season. Artemi Panarin had three assists. Smith, obtained by New York in a July trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins, logged his first goal as a Ranger.

Dylan Larkin scored for the Red Wings, who fell to 1-2-0. Alex Lyon made 24 saves in his first appearance of the season.

Penguins 6, Canadiens 3

Evgeni Malkin had a goal and two assists for Pittsburgh, which scored three unanswered goals in the third period to win against host Montreal.

Kevin Hayes cleaned up a rebound in front to put Pittsburgh up 4-3 at 7:47 of the third period. Kris Letang jumped up in the play and finished with a shot from the slot off a feed from Malkin to make it 5-3 at 11:32. Malkin added an empty-net goal at 18:50 for the final score. Lars Eller scored twice, Rickard Rakell added a goal and Tristan Jarry made 24 saves for the Penguins.
