Final Score: New Jersey 3, Buffalo 2 (SO)

Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - Patrik Elias tied the game late in regulation and scored in the shootout, as the New Jersey Devils snapped a six-game losing streak with a 3-2 come-from-behind win over the Buffalo Sabres at Prudential Center. Brian Flynn's first NHL goal gave the Sabres a 2-0 lead midway through the third period. New Jersey fought back, however, and pulled even just as goaltender Johan Hedberg went to the bench for an extra skater. Buffalo's Jhonas Enroth kicked out David Clarkson's long shot, but Elias buried the rebound with 1:06 remaining. Enroth, making his first start since Feb. 5, was injured on the tying goal. Ryan Miller took over between the pipes and Clarkson beat him with a backhander to begin the second round of the shootout. After Buffalo captain Jason Pominville missed the net, Elias sealed it with a great deke to the forehand. Hedberg made 23 saves to end a personal 0-6-1 stretch. Enroth had 27 saves before muscle cramps forced his departure.

Final Score: NY Rangers 2, NY Islanders 1 (OT)

Uniondale, NY (Sports Network) - Marian Gaborik's power-play goal 42 seconds into overtime capped a late comeback that gave the resurgent New York Rangers a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum.

The win was the Rangers' fourth in a row, a streak that coincided with Nash's return to the lineup from a four-game absence caused by an undisclosed injury. The team went 0-3-1 during that stretch. Michael Grabner lit the lamp for the third straight game for the Islanders, but was also whistled for a costly hooking penalty 21 seconds into extra time that led to Gaborik's score. Evgeni Nabokov finished with 35 saves for the Isles, who earned at least one point (2-0-2) for a fourth consecutive outing.
