Roope Hintz broke a third-period tie while Thomas Harley scored twice as the host Dallas Stars scored four unanswered goals in the third to claim a 6-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Sunday.
Jason Robertson scored once and goaltender Jake Oettinger made 29 saves for the Stars, who snapped a two-game losing skid. Dallas boasts a 11-2-0 home record, the league's best home-ice winning percentage.
Jonathan Huberdeau and Connor Zary scored for the Flames, who have one victory in seven outings. Goalie Dustin Wolf stopped 22 shots.
With the score tied at 2-2, Hintz sped away on a two-on-one rush and finished a give-and-go with Esa Lindell at 5:13 of the final frame for his fifth goal in his last nine games, giving Dallas the lead for good.
Avalanche 4, Devils 0
Scott Wedgewood made 25 saves and Colorado shut out host New Jersey in Newark.
Ross Colton and Logan O'Connor scored first-period goals for the Avalanche, who are 3-1 on their five-game road trip. Casey Mittelstadt and Calvin de Haan each had two assists.
Wedgewood, who was drafted by the Devils and spent parts of three seasons with the club, improved to 4-0 against New Jersey. It was Wedgewood's first shutout of the season and the seventh of his career.
Kraken 7, Rangers 5
Oliver Bjorkstrand tallied two goals and two assists as Seattle rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat host New York.
Eeli Tolvanen had a goal and two assists and Shane Wright added one of each for Seattle, which wrapped up a 3-1-0 trip and defeated the Rangers for just the second time in franchise history (2-6-0).
K'Andre Miller and Vincent Trocheck had a goal and an assist apiece, while Adam Fox and Artemi Panarin each added two helpers for the Rangers, who have lost seven of their past nine (2-7-0).
Lightning 4, Canucks 2
Jake Guentzel scored a tiebreaking power-play goal late in the third period and Tampa Bay opened a four-game Western road trip with a victory in Vancouver.
Guentzel scored when Vancouver goaltender Kevin Lankinen (28 saves) deflected a shot that bounced up into the Lightning winger. It then hit Vancouver's Noah Juulsen and went in. It was originally waved off as a hand pass, but a quick review confirmed the go-ahead goal.
Brayden Point sealed it with an empty-net goal to give Tampa Bay its 11th win in the past 13 games (11-2-0) against Vancouver. Point had two goals and two assists, including his 300th career helper.
Blue Jackets 4, Jets 1
Kent Johnson scored a pair of third-period goals for Columbus, which ended a three-game losing streak and a five-game road trip with a victory over host Winnipeg.
With the game tied at 1-1 entering the third, Johnson scored his goals less than 2 1/2 minutes apart for his second two-goal game of the season. James van Riemsdyk assisted on both of the goals.
Johnson's goals rewarded a solid defensive effort against one of the top teams in the league. Winnipeg, which put 44 shots on goal when the two teams met in Columbus on Nov. 1, managed just 25 on Sunday.
Utah 4, Flyers 2
Logan Cooley scored the go-ahead goal during a wild second period as the Utah Hockey Club won at Philadelphia to begin a rare winning streak.
Michael Carcone, Juuso Valimaki and Kevin Stenlund also scored for Utah, which has won two in a row for the first time since starting the season 3-0-0. Jaxson Stauber made 22 saves in the win.
Joel Farabee and Owen Tippett scored for the Flyers, who dropped their third straight game. Philadelphia goalie Samuel Ersson made his return to the ice after missing nearly a month with a lower-body injury and finished with 21 saves.
Islanders 4, Senators 2
Kyle Palmieri scored the tiebreaking goal with 6:14 left for as New York won a second straight game for only the second time this season, doubling up host Ottawa.
Anders Lee and Kyle MacLean scored in the first and Bo Horvat added an empty-netter with 51 seconds left for the Islanders, who beat the visiting Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 on Saturday.
Adam Gaudette scored in the first and Josh Norris had a goal in the second for the Senators, who had their two-game winning streak snapped. Goaltender Anton Forsberg recorded nine saves in the loss.
