Recaps of last night's NHL games

CAPITALS 3, KINGS 1

WASHINGTON (AP) — Evgeny Kuznetsov's tiebreaking goal with 122 seconds remaining off an assist from ex-Kings player Justin Williams, a score that withstood a coach's challenge for goalie interference, lifted the NHL-leading Washington Capitals to a 3-1 comeback victory over Los Angeles on Tuesday night.

Kuznetsov's 16th goal, but first in a month, gave him 20 points in his past 14 games. Andre Burakovsky got a secondary assist on that score, after tying the game with 48.1 seconds left in the second period. Jason Chimera added an empty-netter with 8.6 seconds left.

Anze Kopitar put Los Angeles ahead in the first period on a short-handed goal.

Washington goalie Philipp Grubauer, getting a rare start in place of Braden Holtby, made 39 saves.

SHARKS 4, LIGHTNING 2

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Matt Nieto and Joel Ward both had a goal and an assist as the Sharks beat the Lightning.

Joe Pavelski and Melker Karlsson also scored for the Sharks, who are 7-2-2 over their last 11 games. Martin Jones improved to 11-2-1 in his last 14 decisions after making 28 saves.

The Lightning, losers in four of their last five games, got goals from Ryan Callahan and Cedric Paquette.

Steven Stamkos was pointless in the Lightning's first game since general manager Steve Yzerman announced Monday that the team captain won't be moved before this month's trade deadline. Stamkos, who has a no-trade clause in his contract, is in the final year of a deal that pays him about $5.5 million this season. He is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in July.

SENATORS 2, SABRES 1, SO

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Bobby Ryan and Kyle Turris scored in the shootout and the Senators topped the Sabres, snapping Ottawa's three-game losing streak.
