Jackets Fall In 5OT Thriller
TORONTO (AP) -- Brayden Point scored 10:27 into the fifth overtime, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Tuesday in the fourth-longest game in Stanley Cup playoff history.
Point scored from just above the left circle, beating Joonas Korpisalo after the goaltender made an NHL-record 85 saves.
Vezina Trophy finalist Andrei Vasilevskiy was outstanding for Tampa Bay, making 61 stops. The teams combined for 151 shots -- most in a NHL game since the league began officially tracking the statistic in 1955-56.
FLAMES 3, STARS 2
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- Rasmus Andersson snapped a tie after Dillon Dube scored twice in the first period, leading Calgary to the victory in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
Andersson scored on a rush with four minutes left in the second period, with the defenseman taking a strong shot and the puck skirting over the top of defenseman Andrej Sekera's stick blade on its way to the net.
Cam Talbot stopped 24 shots for the Flames, including a power-play attempt by Joe Pavelski with 10 seconds left in the game.
Game 2 is Thursday.
Dallas got even in the second when Denis Gurianov and captain Jamie Benn scored in a nine-second span. Anton Khudobin had 23 saves for the Stars.
