Some Ottawa Senators fans have voiced their displeasure with the direction of the team by putting up billboards calling for the ouster of Eugene Melnyk.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Evander Kane has done a good job tormenting the Calgary Flames with his goal-scoring prowess and physical play.

DENVER — The game had a post-season intensity. So Gabriel Landeskog of course brought out his best shot — even if he might've had his eyes closed when he took it. A capacity crowd certainly let him know the result.

ST. LOUIS — It had been a year and two days since Patrik Berglund turned in a multi-goal game for the St. Louis Blues. He delivered again Friday night when his team needed it.

PITTSBURGH — Taylor Hall beat Matt Murray on a breakaway 27 seconds into overtime to give the New Jersey Devils a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night. Hall was all alone when Nico Hischier found him with a long lead pass.

DALLAS — David Pastrnak broke a tie with 12 seconds left and the Boston Bruins scored three straight goals in the third period to rally past the fading Dallas Stars 3-2 on Friday night.

PITTSBURGH — The New Jersey Devils and their roster stuffed with speed and youth haven't made the playoffs in six years. The drought for Taylor Hall is even longer.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Upon handing the puck to Canadiens goalie Antti Niemi in honour of his 35-save performance, defenceman Karl Alzner had a hard time believing how long it has been since his teammate's last shutout. It's been more than two years.

WINNIPEG — Kyle Connor scored 3:16 into overtime as the Winnipeg Jets edged the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 and set a franchise record for points in a season Friday. It marked the second straight game the rookie scored the overtime winner.

CALGARY — The Calgary Flames' already thin playoff hopes are taking a major hit with yet another key player headed for sick bay.
