Porter Martone scored his first NHL goal on a 5-on-3 in overtime, lifting the Philadelphia Flyers to a 2-1 victory over the visiting Boston Bruins on Sunday.

After Boston took penalties seven seconds apart in OT, Philadelphia needed just 15 more seconds to score the decisive goal. Christian Dvorak made a touch pass to the slot for Martone, whose first attempt was stopped by Joonas Korpisalo, but the rookie winger — playing in just his fourth career game — banged home the rebound.

Dan Vladar made 18 saves and Dvorak scored the other goal for Philadelphia, which jumped over the New York Islanders for third place in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers entered the day one point behind the Islanders, as well as in a four-way tie for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Pavel Zacha scored the lone goal for Boston, which still sits atop the wild-card race despite losing its third straight contest. Korpisalo made 29 saves for the Bruins, including the sequence of the game late in regulation when he denied Jamie Drysdale’s blast and then stoned Tyson Foerster on the rebound with a spectacular pad stop.

Senators 6, Hurricanes 3

Brady Tkachuk scored twice among the final four Ottawa goals in a win over visiting Carolina.

Dylan Cozens, Tim Stutzle and Shane Pinto all had a goal and an assist and the Senators picked up a much-needed result to win for the second time in their last six games. Ottawa holds the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Claude Giroux had the other goal — an empty-netter with 57 seconds remaining — and goalie Linus Ullmark made 25 saves for the Senators, who tallied two goals on power plays.

Logan Stankoven, Andrei Svechnikov and Taylor Hall scored for the Hurricanes, who lost for only the second time in their last six games. Jackson Blake provided two assists and goalie Frederik Andersen stopped 25 shots. Carolina remained one point away from clinching the Metropolitan Division with five games to play.

Wild 5, Red Wings 4

Kirill Kaprizov notched a hat trick, including the go-ahead goal with 1:51 remaining, as visiting Minnesota defeated fading Detroit.

After the Wild squandered a 4-1 lead in the first 15 minutes of the third period, Kaprizov scored his third goal of the afternoon and 43rd of the season on a power play as he ripped a shot from the right circle past Detroit goaltender Cam Talbot off a Matt Boldy feed. Boldly and Vladimir Tarasenko also scored.

Axel Sandin-Pellikka and Patrick Kane each had a goal and an assist for Detroit, but Kane committed the tripping penalty that led to Minnesota’s winning goal. Albert Johansson and J.T. Compher also scored for the Red Wings, who have lost four of their past five games and nine of their last 13 contests.

Penguins 5, Panthers 2

Rickard Rakell scored twice and Evgeni Malkin added a pair of helpers as Pittsburgh upended visiting Florida.

With the win, the Penguins picked up their second win over the Panthers in as many days and swept the three-game season series. Sidney Crosby scored and added two assists and Bryan Rust had a goal and an assist for the Penguins, who moved seven points up on the third-place New York Islanders in the Metropolitan Division.

Arturs Silvos made 29 saves for Pittsburgh, which improved to 4-1 over its last five. Cole Schwindt and Carter Verhaeghe scored goals for the Panthers (37-37-3, 77 points), who have dropped back-to-back games and are eliminated from playoff contention. Daniil Tarasov stopped 18 shots for Florida, which has lost five of seven.

Devils 3, Canadiens 0

Jacob Markstrom posted his first shutout of the season as visiting New Jersey beat Montreal to snap the hosts’ eight-game winning streak.

Timo Meier, Cody Glass and Connor Brown scored for the Devils to keep their razor-thin playoff hopes alive. Markstrom made 18 saves to record the 25th shutout of his career, including a pair of highlight-reel stops that prevented dynamic Montreal forward Cole Caufield from reaching the 50-goal mark.

The Devils are seven points outside a playoff spot with five games remaining, and exacted a hint of revenge after losing a 4-3 shootout game to Montreal on Saturday. New Jersey has won 11 straight games in Montreal. No. 3 goalie Jacob Fowler stopped 17 shots for Montreal, which punched a ticket to the playoffs before the game.

Rangers 8, Capitals 1

Will Cuylle scored twice in a span of 2:40 during a five-goal second period on the way to his first career hat trick and host New York prevented Washington from gaining ground in a crowded Eastern Conference playoff race with a rout.

Washington fell three points behind the Ottawa Senators for the second and final wild-card spot. The Capitals also trail the New York Islanders by two points and are one point behind the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets. Charlie Lindgren recorded 24 saves, but tied a career worst by allowing eight goals for the second time.

Rookie Adam Sykora and Adam Fox also scored during the big period as the Rangers won for the fifth time in six games following a six-game losing streak (0-5-1). Igor Shesterkin made 20 saves.
