NHL: PENGUINS 3, ISLANDERS 2, OT

NEW YORK (AP) — Kris Letang scored 1:24 into overtime, lifting Pittsburgh past the last-place Islanders to rebound from a blowout loss.

Sidney Crosby set up the winner by faking a shot and then passing to Letang, who fired in his second of the season.

Pittsburgh was beaten 7-1 by the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, its biggest defeat during coach Mike Sullivan's nearly year-long tenure.

Matt Murray had 20 saves, and the Penguins also got goals from Crosby and Trevor Daley.

Brock Nelson and rookie Anthony Beauvillier scored for the Islanders, who dropped their fourth straight and are mired in a 1-3-4 stretch. Jaroslav Halak stopped 32 shots in his seventh straight start.

NHL: BLUE JACKETS 4. RANGERS 2

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Matt Calvert returned from taking a slap shot to his forehead that required about 30 stitches and scored a short-handed, tiebreaking goal in the third period to lift Columbus to its franchise-record seventh straight home win.

William Karlsson had a goal and an assist, and Sam Gagner and Boone Jenner also scored for Columbus, which led 2-0 in the second period before the Rangers tied it in the third. The Blue Jackets have won three in a row overall and seven of nine. Sergei Bobrovksy had 25 saves.

Michael Grabner and Mika Zibanejad scored for New York, which lost for the third time in 14 games. Henrik Lundqvist made 20 saves for the Rangers.

About three minutes after Zibanejad evened the score at 8:32 of the third, the Rangers were looking to take the lead on the power play, but a bandaged Calvert snuck a shot under Lundqvist's right arm on a 2-on-1 with Karlsson.

NBA: THUNDER 124, NETS 105

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Russell Westbrook had 30 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds in his fourth triple-double of the season, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Brooklyn Nets 124-105 on Friday night.

Westbrook made 13 of 21 shots and had just three turnovers. It was the 41st career triple-double.

Victor Oladipo scored 26 points and Steven Adams added 15 to help the Thunder win their second straight after a four-game losing streak.

Oklahoma City shot 55.1 percent from the field and outrebounded the Nets 46-30.


Brook Lopez scored 22 points, and Bojan Bogdanovic and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson each added 13 for the Nets. They have lost three straight.
