NHL roundup: Mammoth win as Pens bitten by huge comeback (again)

The Pittsburgh Penguins, victims of a blown lead Saturday night, fell prey again Sunday, as the Utah Mammoth completed a wild comeback 5-4 win in Pittsburgh.

Dylan Guenther scored the overtime-winning goal for Utah, one night after the slumping Penguins saw a 5-1, third-period lead evaporate in a 6-5 loss.

Michael Carcone scored twice while Nate Schmidt and Sean Durzi added singles for the Mammoth, who erased a 3-0 third-period deficit. Goaltender Karle Vejmelka made 12 saves. Guenther notched the winner 42 seconds into overtime with a wrist shot from the slot for his fifth tally in a four-game streak.

Justin Brazeau scored twice for the Penguins, who have lost five straight games, four of them in extra time. All those defeats beyond regulation time came despite Pittsburgh leading in the third period. Ben Kindel tallied once and added two assists, Bryan Rust scored in a third consecutive game and goalie Sergei Murashov stopped 32 shots.

Canucks 2, Devils 1

Zeev Buium had a goal and an assist in the first period of his debut for Vancouver, which defeated New Jersey in Newark, N.J.

Vancouver acquired Buium and forwards Marco Rossi and Liam Ohgren from the Minnesota Wild on Friday in a trade that sent captain Quinn Hughes the other way. Jake DeBrusk also tallied and Thatcher Demko made 25 saves for the Canucks, who won for just the third time in their past 12 games (3-8-1).

Luke Hughes scored and Jacob Markstrom made 13 saves for the Devils, who had won two of three.

Hurricanes 3, Flyers 2 (SO)

Brandon Bussi made 24 saves and didn't allow a shootout tally to continue his record-setting pace to begin an NHL career as Carolina defeated Philadelphia at Raleigh, N.C.

Andrei Svechnikov scored in the three-round shootout for the Hurricanes, who have won three games in a row via shootouts and pushed their winning streak to four games overall. Bussi has victories in 11 of his first 12 NHL games, extending by one win his league record.

William Carrier and Taylor Hall scored first-period goals for the Hurricanes, who also defeated the Flyers 4-3 in a shootout Saturday night in Philadelphia. Jamie Drysdale and Trevor Zegras scored for the Flyers.

Wild 6, Bruins 2

Kirill Kaprizov tallied two goals and an assist, Quinn Hughes scored a goal in his team debut and Minnesota posted a win over Boston in Saint Paul, Minn.

Ryan Hartman finished with a goal and two assists for Minnesota, which won its fourth game in a row. Matt Boldy notched a goal and an assist, and Jared Spurgeon scored a goal. Alex Steeves and Andrew Peeke scored for Boston, whose four-game winning streak ended.

Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson stopped 29 of 31 shots to earn the victory. Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman allowed six goals on 31 shots.

Canadiens 4, Oilers 1

Jakub Dobes made 27 saves and host Montreal defeated Edmonton.

Nick Suzuki ended a six-game goal drought for the Canadiens, who had lost three of four. Juraj Slafkovsky and Lane Hutson each had two assists.

Zach Hyman scored his fifth goal in three games for the Oilers, who had won four of five. Calvin Pickard made 23 saves. Connor McDavid (assist) extended his point streak to six games (seven goals, nine assists).

Sabres 3, Kraken 1

Tage Thompson extended his goal-scoring streak to four games as Buffalo wrapped up a six-game road trip with a victory over Seattle.

Noah Ostlund and Zach Benson also scored and Alex Tuch had two assists for the Sabres, who won their third game in a row. Goaltender Alex Lyon made 23 saves. It was just Buffalo's second regulation victory on the road this season, after getting its first Thursday in Vancouver.
