Jordan Eberle scored twice in the third period as the Seattle Kraken stunned the host Anaheim Ducks 3-1 on Monday night.
Frederick Gaudreau also scored for Seattle, which won consecutive games for the first time in a month, and Kaapo Kakko had two assists. Goalie Philipp Grubauer made 40 saves as the Kraken won for just the third time in their last 13 games (3-9-1) and moved out of the Pacific Division cellar.
Mikael Granlund scored the only goal for the division-leading Ducks, who fell to 2-4-1 in their last seven games. Goalie Lukas Dostal stopped 18 of 20 shots.
The deciding goal came on an odd-man rush at 10:04 of the third. Matty Beniers fed Eberle on the left wing, and Eberle fired a shot over Dostal’s shoulder and into the high corner of the net just inside the faceoff dot.
Blue Jackets 3, Kings 1
Mason Marchment scored two power play goals in the first period and Columbus earned a victory in Los Angeles.
Kirill Marchenko added a power play goal and Jet Greaves made 23 saves as the Blue Jackets won for just the second time in nine games (2-6-1). Damon Severson had two assists as Columbus earned its first road win since Dec. 1, ending an 0-3-1 road skid.
Marchment, who was acquired in a trade with Seattle on Friday, has three goals in two games with his new team. He only scored four goals in 29 games to start the season with the Kraken. The Kings lost for the fifth time in their last six games (1-3-2).
Flyers 5, Canucks 2
Dan Vladar made 23 saves and Philadelphia scored two goals on its fourth line as the host Flyers ended Vancouver’s four-game winning streak.
Fourth lines Nikita Grebenkin and Carl Grundstrom scored for Philadelphia, while Rodrigo Abols contributed to both goals. Philadelphia won only its second victory in seven games (2-1-4).
Max Sasson and Drew O’Connor scored for Vancouver, which had won the first four games of its five-game road trip. Thatcher Demko stopped 34 shots as the Canucks suffered their first loss since star defenseman Quinn Hughes against the Minnesota Wild 10 days ago.
Lightning 4, Blues 1
Defenseman Darren Raddysh produced a goal and two assists, Oliver Bjorkstrand took a step of international proportion and Tampa Bay capped its four-game homestand with a victory over St. Louis.
Bjorkstrand became only the fourth Dane to reach 400 points in the NHL, also scoring on the power play. He joined his compatriots Nikolaj Ehlers, Frans Nielsen and Lars Eller in the 400 points club.
Pontus Holmberg and Anthony Cirelli each scored a goal and Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel had two assists each as the Lightning finished 2-2-0 at home. Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 23 shots.
