Jake Guentzel scored a breakaway goal with 15 seconds left in overtime as the host Tampa Bay Lightning won their ninth straight home game, beating the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Tuesday night despite trailing with less than 30 seconds left in regulation.

Nikita Kucherov spun and fired a half-length-of-the-ice pass to Guentzel, who snared it and beat Buffalo goaltender Colten Ellis (31 saves) for his second straight game-winner. Kucherov increased his point streak to nine games (six goals, 17 assists) with a tally and three helpers.

Tampa Bay defenseman Darren Raddysh scored a goal in his fifth straight game — tying the contest with 26 seconds left in regulation — and also had an assist.

Guentzel logged two points, and teammate Oliver Bjorkstrand tallied on the man advantage. Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 23 shots as the Lightning improved to 18-1-1 in the past 20 games. The Sabres fell to 6-1-1 in the past eight after splitting their back-to-back Florida trip.

Jake Walman and Kasperi Kapanen responded for the Oilers, who have lost back-to-back games. Connor Ingram stopped 22 shots.

Blue Jackets 3, Devils 0

Elvis Merzlikins made 24 saves for his first shutout of the season and Mathieu Olivier scored two goals as Columbus scored three times in the third period to beat New Jersey in Newark, N.J.

The Blue Jackets extended their season-high winning streak to six games. Columbus is 10-1-0 in its past 11 games and has won five straight away games after completing a 3-0-0 road trip on Tuesday. Merzlikins earn his 12th career shutout while improving to 11-8-1 on the season.

Olivier’s two goals and Dante Fabbro’s go-ahead goal all came during a commanding third period for the Blue Jackets, who outshot the Devils 13-7 in the final frame. Jacob Markstrom stopped 23 of 25 shots in the game for New Jersey, which is 1-4-0 in its past five games.

Islanders 5, Penguins 4 (OT)

Bo Horvat scored a breakaway goal 52 seconds into overtime Tuesday night for New York, which overcame a trio of deficits to edge Pittsburgh in Elmont, N.Y.

Hurricanes 4, Senators 3

Brandon Bussi made 22 saves, including strong work down the stretch, to boost his record to 22-3-1 as a rookie. The Hurricanes, whose points streak increased to a season-best nine games (7-0-2), saw a two-goal lead vanish. However, they recovered on Staal’s 14th goal of the season when the Senators were slow to respond on a line change.

Stephen Halliday, Tim Stutzle and Jake Sanderson, who also had an assist, scored for the Senators, who fell short of notching their first five-game winning streak of the season. Dylan Cozens provided two assists. James Reimer, a former Carolina goalie (2019-21), made 14 saves in defeat.
