SENATORS RALLY TO SWEEP NHL GLOBAL SERIES
Ottawa overcame 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 deficits and Mike Hoffman (2-0—2) scored the go-ahead goal with 6:37 remaining in regulation to help the Senators sweep their two-game set with the Avalanche in the 2017 SAP NHL Global Series at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden.

* Hoffman recorded his second multi-goal game of the season and extended his point streak to a career-high eight contests (3-8—11).

* Stockholm native Johnny Oduya scored a game-tying goal in the third period. Teammate and fellow countryman Erik Karlsson (Landsbro, Sweden) collected two assists to extend his point streak to seven games (1-10—11).

* Elias notes that the Senators became the second team in NHL history to overcome three separate one-goal deficits and win a regular-season game contested outside of North America; they joined the Panthers, who rallied to defeat the Blackhawks on Oct. 2, 2009 at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland (4-3 SO W).


PACIORETTY SETS FRANCHISE RECORD WITH 10TH CAREER OVERTIME GOAL
Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty scored his 10th career regular-season overtime goal (all w/ MTL) to move into sole possession of the most in franchise history.


* Since the beginning of the 2013-14 season, Pacioretty ranks tied for first in the NHL with 37 game-winning goals (w/ Alex Ovechkin).


ZUCKER SCORES SIXTH CONSECUTIVE TEAM GOAL
Wild forward Jason Zucker scored for the third consecutive game (6-0—6) and has netted each of the last six Minnesota goals dating to Nov. 8 at TOR, extending the longest such run in franchise history. Elias notes that Zucker became the first player to score six consecutive team goals since Glen Murray from Jan. 29 – Feb. 1, 2004 (w/ BOS).


* The longest such run in NHL history is seven goals, set by Cy Denneny from Feb. 28 – March 7, 1921 (w/ SEN) and matched by Brian Noonan from Dec. 27-29, 1991 (w/ CHI).


RANGERS, MAPLE LEAFS AND PREDATORS EXTEND WIN STREAKS
The Rangers (9-7-2, 20 points), Maple Leafs (12-7-0, 24 points) and Predators (9-5-2, 20 points) each earned victories to extend their respective win streaks:

* Rick Nash (2-0—2) recorded his first multi-goal game since Nov. 21, 2015 (3-0—3 at FLA) to guide theRangers to their sixth consecutive win. Henrik Lundqvist (27 saves) has backstopped the Rangers to victory in all six outings (2.66 GAA, .912 SV%).

* Patrick Marleau scored for the third straight game (3-0—3) to help the Maple Leafs earn their fourth straight victory. Marleau recorded his 516th career goal to pass Pierre Turgeon (515) for sole possession of 38th place on the NHL’s all-time list.

* The Penguins overcame deficits of 3-1 and 4-3, but Filip Forsberg (0-2—2) scored the decisive marker in the shootout to lift the Predators to their fourth consecutive win. Kyle Turris, who was acquired by Nashville on Nov. 5, collected 1-1—2 in his Predators debut.
