Dirk Graham scored with 10 seconds left in overtime, giving the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets Sunday night at Chicago.

Brent Sutter won a faceoff with 15 seconds left and Steve Smith got the puck to Graham, who beat Stephane Beauregard with a 15-footer from the left corner.

Beauregard, obtained by the Jets in the 1993 June entry draft, had stopped 23 shots during the third period. He made 41 saves before giving up Graham’s goal.

Toronto 5, Philadelphia 4--John Cullen scored with 1:51 left in regulation at Philadelphia to give the Maple Leafs the victory.

Cullen swatted a shot past goaltender Tommy Soderstrom while falling down to end Philadelphia’s 10-game regular-season unbeaten streak, dating to last season.

Quebec 7, Pittsburgh 4--Andrei Kovalenko and Joe Sakic each scored two goals as the Nordiques produced a four-goal third period at Quebec.

The Nordiques had not beaten Pittsburgh since Feb. 26, 1990, a stretch of nine games in which they managed only two ties.

Hartford 3, Buffalo 2--Geoff Sanderson scored two goals, including the game-winner with 12:33 left at Buffalo to give the Whalers their first victory.

Sanderson added an assist and Mark Greig had the other goal for the Whalers. Andrew Cassels had three assists.
