Arvedson Makes History

The Ottawa Senators aren’t only having the best season in team history, they’re rewriting team records in the process.

Magnus Arvedson collected the Senators’ first hat trick in three seasons at the Corel Centre and the Eastern Conference leaders scored a team-record eight consecutive goals to defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning, 9-3, Monday night at Kanata, Canada.

“That’s unbelievable,” Arvedson said. “We’re playing really well together and it feels good.”

New York Rangers 3, Toronto 2--Petr Nedved’s power play goal with 17.3 seconds remaining in overtime gave the Rangers a victory over the Maple Leafs at New York.

Carolina 4, Buffalo 1--Andrei Kovalenko scored in his first game with the Hurricanes, who dominated the Sabres to extend their home unbeaten streak to five.

Florida 5, Montreal 2--Ray Whitney, Peter Worrell and Johan Garpenlov scored in a 4:28 span of the second period, leading the Panthers past the Canadiens at Montreal.
