Canucks again come from behind, deal Blues 1st loss, 2-1
Henrik Sedin scored 1:40 into overtime Tuesday night after teammate Bo Horvat tied the score with 2:55 left in regulation, and the Canucks handed visiting St. Louis its first loss of the season, 2-1.
The winner came after goalie Jacob Markstrom made a nice glove save and played the puck to keep the action moving.
Christopher Tanev worked a give-and-go with Daniel Sedin, and then Tanev took a light shot that Henrik Sedin redirected for his first goal of the season.
Horvat’s goal snapped a shutout streak of 177 minutes, 34 seconds by St. Louis against Vancouver dating to 2015-16.
Marian Hossa scored his 500th career goal and Artem Anisimov snapped a third-period tie with his first score of the season for host Chicago.
Hossa’s power-play goal chased Michal Neuvirth and gave Chicago a 4-0 lead, but Philadelphia responded with four goals in a 5½-minute span overlapping the second and third periods.
Taylor Hall, acquired in an offseason trade, made his new fans in New Jersey happy with two power-play goals in a 4:11 span in the second period of the Devils’ home opener.
The Flames’ Matthew Tkachuk scored his first NHL goal.
Brayden Point scored host Tampa Bay’s game-winning goal in the sixth round of a shootout.
Point’s goal came three rounds after it seemed Tampa Bay had won the shootout 1-0 when Florida’s Vincent Trocheck appeared to fan on his initial shot before sending the puck into the net.
