* Monahan scored his fifth career overtime goal in his 174th NHL game. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the 21-year-old center tied Theo Fleury (five in 791 games) for second place on the Flames' regular-season overtime goals list and moved within one of Jarome Iginla (six in 1,219 games) for the all-time lead.

* Monahan also scored in regulation for his first multigoal game of the season. He has four goals and one assist in his past four games; he had two goals and six assists in his first 14 games of the season.

ROAD TEAMS RACK UP TRAVEL POINTS

The Columbus Blue Jackets, San Jose Sharks and New York Islanders also had road wins in a clean sweep for visiting clubs Friday:

* Visiting his home town of Pittsburgh, Blue Jackets forward Brandon Saad (1-1—2) scored the game-winning goal at 12:49 of the second period and Sergei Bobrovsky, who fell 58 seconds short of his first shutout of the season, made 28 saves as Columbus improved to 4-1-0 in its past five games against the Penguins, dating to Dec. 13, 2014. Saad’s goal was his fifth power-play goal of the season, in his 16th game. Prior to 2015-16 Saad had five power-play goals in 208 regular-season games with the Chicago Blackhawks.

* The Sharks reversed an early deficit by scoring three consecutive goals, including the game-winner by Joe Pavelski at 10:23 of the second period, en route to a 3-2 win against the Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks improved to 8-1-1 in their past 10 games at Detroit, dating to Nov. 5, 2009, including an active streak of four consecutive wins. Pavelski scored his Sharks-leading ninth goal of the season; he's now tied for fourth place in the League in goals.

* Leading 2-1 after two periods, the Islanders extended their advantage in the third period with two goals by Frans Nielsen as the Islanders recorded their first regulation victory in Anaheim since March 12, 2004. Winning goaltender Thomas Greiss made 24 saves to improve to 5-1-2 with a 2.22 goals-against average and .930 save percentage in his first eight games with the Islanders, while Josh Bailey (0-2—2) and Anders Lee (0-2—2) assisted on Nielsen's third-period goals.
