Read the reports of the games played Monday night in the NHL.
Calle Jarnkrok scored his second goal of the game 46 seconds into overtime and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-5 on Monday.
Mitch Marner had a goal and three assists for the Maple Leafs (5-4-2), while Auston Matthews scored two goals and added an assist. Matthew Knies had a goal and two assists and defenseman Morgan Rielly assisted on two of his team’s goals.
Jarnkrok scored his third of the season, in overtime, when Rielly fed him the puck very close to the net, unguarded. Jarnkrok only had to redirect the puck behind Jonas Johansson.
Ilya Samsonov allowed four goals on 12 shots and gave way to Joseph Woll at the end of the first period. Woll stopped 18 pucks for the victory.
With an assist on the winning goal, William Nylander extended his record streak in Maple Leafs history, with 12 straight games at the start of the season with at least one point.
Nikita Kucherov scored two goals and two assists in the first period for the Lightning (5-4-3). Victor Hedman scored and added two assists, while forwards Brayden Point and Brandon Hagel both contributed a goal and an assist. Johansson made 27 saves.
Trailing 4-3 after 40 minutes, the Maple Leafs tied the game 1:55 into the third period. Jarnkrok scored his first goal of the game when he recovered Nick Robertson’s return shot.
Marner gave his team the lead just eight seconds later, with a quick shot from the far side. It was Marner’s fifth of the season.
Hagel tied the score at 5-5 with 2:26 left in regulation. Woll was unable to control Calvin de Haan’s shot, and Hagel pushed the loose puck into the net for his seventh of the campaign.
The Maple Leafs took a 1-0 lead in the game thanks to Knies’ goal 3:42 into the game. Hedman, however, tied the game 35 seconds later, the first of four Lightning goals in the first period.

Nick Cousins tied the game in the final minute of the third period, then Carter Verhaeghe scored in overtime, and the Florida Panthers defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 on Monday.
The Panthers led 3-0 after just over six minutes of play, but allowed the next four goals before Cousins and Verhaeghe played hero.
Ryan Lomberg, Gustav Forsling and Aleksander Barkov also scored for the Panthers. Sergei Bobrovsky made 18 saves.
Sean Kuraly, Boone Jenner, Alexandre Texier and Kirill Marchenko responded for the Blue Jackets. Spencer Martin repelled 35 pucks in relief of Elvis Merzlikins, retired after giving up three times on 11 shots in 6:09 in the first.
Lomberg opened the scoring with a shot behind Merzlikins’ back, then Forsling added a goal 50 seconds later. Barkov then threaded the needle with his backhand while falling, prompting Quebec Blue Jackets head coach Pascal Vincent to make a goalie change.
The Panthers led 20-0 in shots on goal from the 1:19 mark in the first until the Jackets’ first goal with 4:19 remaining in the period.
Kuraly recovered a rebound after a shot from Erik Gudbranson to deceive Bobrovsky’s vigilance. Jenner closed the gap a little more before the end of the first third.
Marchenko brought the two teams back to level playing field on a power play midway through the second.
Texier took advantage of a loose puck in front of a completely open cage to give the Blue Jackets the lead with 7:30 left in regulation. But Cousins forced an overtime period moments later.
Former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Reilly made his debut with the Panthers after being left out of the team’s first 10 games this season.
