Donato, Burakovsky help Kraken top Devils 4-3 in overtime

SEATTLE (AP) - Ryan Donato had two goals and an assist for Seattle, and Andre Burakovsky scored 1:10 into overtime to give the Kraken a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night.

Donato powered Seattle to an early 2-0 lead, but New Jersey rallied. Erik Haula's short-handed breakaway goal at 6:04 of the third period tied it at 2.

Brandon Tanev put the Kraken in front again at 7:51, but New Jersey forced overtime with another late goal. Nico Hischier jabbed the rebound off Jack Hughes' shot past Seattle goalie Martin Jones with 1:14 left.

Burakovsky's 13th goal of the season snapped a two-game losing streak for Seattle. It was the Kraken's 27th win, matching the team's total from its inaugural season.

New Jersey had won five straight games overall and seven in a row on the road. It missed out on a chance to sweep a five-game trip, its longest of the season.

SABRES 3, ISLANDERS 2, OT

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Dylan Cozens scored 12 seconds into overtime, lifting the Sabres to the victory.

Alex Tuch and Victor Olofsson also scored for Buffalo, which had dropped five of six. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 24 stops.

Cozens beat Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin on a breakaway after Rasmus Dahlin's floating pass sprung him for his 15th goal of the season.

Brock Nelson and Matt Martin scored for New York, and Sorokin made 42 saves. The Islanders have lost seven of the past eight games.

Former Sabres goalie Ryan Miller had his No. 30 retired by the organization during a pregame ceremony.

Burns and Skjei scored during Carolina's three-goal second period, while Chatfield added a third goal from a defenseman for the Hurricanes.

Carolina entered the game with 20 goals and 67 points from defensemen since Nov. 25, which was third in the NHL behind Winnipeg and the New York Rangers.
