NHL Roundup : Quebec Beats Boston With Seconds Left in OT

Peter Stastny scored his 29th goal with 11 seconds left in overtime and the Quebec Nordiques spoiled a Boston Bruin rally with a 4-3 victory Sunday at Boston.

Stastny, set up by Mark Kumpel and Alain Cote, circled the Boston net and poked the puck past goalie Pat Riggin at the corner.

Quebec ran its record to 4-0-1 against Boston this season and handed the Bruins their third loss in four days.

Boston tied the score on goals by rookie Randy Burridge and Ray Bourque 56 seconds apart midway through the third period.

Quebec goalie Clint Malarchuk, who allowed only one goal in three previous starts against Boston this season, appeared en route to a third shutout of the Bruins until late in the second period.

The Nordiques had a 2-0 lead and threatened to make it more on a power play when Boston’s Nevin Markwart stole the puck and fed Mike O’Connell for a 40-footer that beat Malarchuk.

Quebec got that goal back on Michel Goulet’s 36th of the season and 300th of his career.

Buffalo 4, Edmonton 2--Former King Doug Smith scored two goals in the final 1 minute 50 seconds and the Sabres won their fifth straight game by beating the Oilers at Buffalo.

Smith snapped a 2-2 tie when he slid the puck under Oilers’ goalie Grant Fuhr following a scramble in front of the Edmonton net. He added an empty-net goal with six seconds left.

John Tucker and Mike Foligno also scored for the Sabres.

The Oilers, who have now lost two in a row following a seven-game unbeaten streak, got goals from Mike Krushelnyski and Jari Kurri, who leads the league with 41 goals. Wayne Gretzky has not scored a goal in seven games, but he got an assist on Kurri’s goal.

Chicago 2, Philadelphia 2--Ilkka Sinisalo scored a power-play goal at 12:59 of the third period to pull the Flyers even with the Blackhawks at Chicago.

Neither team threatened in overtime.

Philadelphia’s Mark Howe opened the scoring at 8:03 with his 18th goal of the season, but Chicago took the lead later in the opening period on goals by Darryl Sutter and Denis Savard, who got his 37th of the season.

New Jersey 6, Hartford 3--Aaron Broten, Greg Adams and John MacLean scored two goals each as the Devils snapped an 11-game winless streak by turning back the Whalers at Hartford, Conn.

Paul Gagne set up four goals in the third period--two each by MacLean and Adams--as New Jersey broke a seven-game losing string.

Hartford lost for the seventh straight time.

Winnipeg 3, Vancouvr 3--Jim Nill scored from the edge of the crease at 3:25 of the third period to lift the Jets into a tie with Canucks.

Nill’s goal was set up by Laurie Boschman, who came out of the corner and beat Vancouver defenseman Garth Butcher before feathering the pass to Nill.

The goal was the second in 1:03 for the Jets, who came back from a 3-1 deficit after two periods. Newly acquired Bill Derlago cut the Canucks’ lead to 3-2 at 2:22 when he banked a backhander off the goalpost behind goalie Richard Brodeur.
