Penguins end Bruins’ 19-game point streak with 4-2 win

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jared McCann scored twice, Matt Murray finished with 39 saves and the Pittsburgh Penguins handed the Boston Bruins their first regulation loss since January with a 4-2 victory on Sunday night.

Nick Bjugstad and Jake Guentzel also scored for the Penguins, who survived another late push by the Bruins.

David Krejci picked up his 19th of the season and John Moore got Boston within one when he scored with just over a minute to go. But the Bruins couldn't complete the comeback, ending their 19-game point streak.

It was the first regulation loss for Krejci and company since Jan. 19 against the New York Rangers.

Jaroslav Halak made 33 stops, but Boston remained winless in Pittsburgh since December 2015.

CAPITALS 3, JETS 1

WASHINGTON (AP) — Carl Hagelin scored the go-ahead goal on a breakaway out of the penalty box and Pheonix Copley made 33 saves, helping the Capitals to their seventh consecutive victory.

Led by Copley, Hagelin and Nick Jensen, the Capitals killed off all five minor penalties they took and won despite being outshot 34-18. They haven't lost since adding Hagelin and Jensen to their lineup before the trade deadline.

Nicklas Backstrom also scored and Lars Eller added an empty-netter for the Capitals, who now lead the Metropolitan Division by four points.

Mathieu Perreault scored for Winnipeg, and Connor Hellebuyck made 15 saves.

PANTHERS 6, RED WINGS 1

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Aleksander Barkov reached 30 goals for the first time in his career, and Florida earned its second straight win since a costly six-game slide.
