Jacob Markstrom made 26 saves for the Devils, who have lost four in a row.

Penguins 5, Hurricanes 1

Anthony Mantha scored twice for the first time this season while leading Pittsburgh to a rout of visiting Carolina.

Justin Brazeau, coming off a hat trick against Chicago on Sunday, and Tommy Novak both added a goal and an assist for the Penguins, who won their second straight game. Sidney Crosby also scored, Bryan Rust and Erik Karlsson assisted on a pair apiece, and Stuart Skinner stopped 27 shots.

Mark Jankowski scored for the Hurricanes, who saw their two-game winning streak end. Frederik Andersen gave up five goals on 28 shots.

Islanders 3, Blackhawks 2 (SO)

Bo Horvat scored the lone shootout goal to accompany a goal in regulation, boosting visiting New York to a win over Chicago.

Calum Ritchie added a goal for the Islanders, who won for the third time in four games. David Rittich stopped 17 shots through regulation and overtime for the victory.

Teuvo Teravainen and Nick Lardis tallied the Blackhawks’ goals, both on assists from Oliver Moore after New York jumped ahead 2-0. Spencer Knight made 19 saves as Chicago fell to 1-7-1 in its past nine games.

Flyers 6, Canucks 3

Carl Grundstrom stretched his goal-scoring streak to four games as Philadelphia recorded its league-leading 14th come-from-behind win, beating host Vancouver.

Noah Cates, Travis Konecny and Bobby Brink each had a goal and an assist for the Flyers, who have won three of their past four games. Owen Tippett and Christian Dvorak also scored, Matvei Michkov and Trevor Zegras added two assists apiece, and Dan Vladar stopped 32 shots.
