(MENAFN - Gulf Times) Tuukka Rask's lengthy points streak came to an end at the hands of an unlikely source.
Evander Kane, Scott Wilson and Benoit Pouliot each got pucks past the Bruins' goaltender to snap his career-best personal 21-game points streak and lift the last-place Buffalo Sabres to a 4-2 victory Saturday night in Boston.
Rasmus Ristolainen scored Buffalo's final tally on an empty-netter.
Rask went 19-0-2 during his streak, with his last regulation loss before Saturday coming in a 5-3 decision at Nashville on Dec. 4. Ryan Spooner and David Backes each scored for Boston, which snapped its four-game winning streak.
Jack Eichel left the game with a lower-body injury after the Sabres' former No. 2 overall pick out of Boston University collided with Boston's Matt Grzelcyk — another BU product — behind the Bruins' net late in the first period.

Lightning 4, Kings 3
Andrei Vasilevskiy had 44 saves and Steven Stamkos had a goal and an assist to lead Tampa Bay past Los Angeles at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Alex Killorn, Cedric Paquette and Nikita Kucherov scored goals for Tampa Bay, which won for the seventh time in nine games, but Vasilevskiy was the story, making several highlight-reel stops, including a behind-the-back glove save in the first period to rob Anze Kopitar. He also stopped an Adrian Kempe deflection of a Drew Doughty shot with 1:08 left that would have tied the game.
Jonny Brodzinski, Kyle Clifford and Christian Folin scored for Los Angeles, which had a three-game win streak snapped and was playing the second half of a back-to-back in the Sunshine State. The Kings defeated the Panthers, 3-1, on Friday night.

Predators 3, Canadiens 2 (SO)
Pekka Rinne stopped 47 shots through overtime, including 10 in the five-minute 3-on-3 period, and all three in the shootout while Ryan Ellis netted the lone shootout goal as Nashville beat host Montreal at Bell Centre.
The Predators — who went to extra time in all four games of this road trip — lost their previous two outings, but with Saturday's win are on a 10-1-3 roll that has them perched atop the Central Division standings.
Carey Price made 30 saves through overtime for the Canadiens, who have lost two straight.
