SUNRISE, Fla. - Jaromir Jagr scored twice to move into third place on the NHL career goals list and help the Florida Panthers beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 on Saturday night.

Reilly Smith had the go-ahead power-play goal early in the third period for Florida and Roberto Luongo stopped 30 shots in his return after missing two games. The Panthers won for just the third time in eight games (3-3-2).

Nikolaj Ehlers scored and Michael Hutchinson finished with 25 saves for the Jets, losers of three straight (0-2-1).

Jagr's goal 4:53 into the second period tied the score at 1-1 and tied Brett Hull for third with 741 goals. Only Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801) had more goals.

Jagr then scored his 20th of the season and No. 742 for his career on a wrist shot from close range with 4:23 left in the third period to make it 3-1.

FLYERS 5, MAPLE LEAFS 4, OT

TORONTO (AP) — Shayne Gostisbehere scored 29 seconds into overtime, extending his scoring streak to 15 games, and Philadelphia edged Toronto.

Gostisbehere is the first rookie to have four overtime goals in a season and his points streak is the longest by a defenceman since Chris Chelios in 1995-96. Chelios had 20 points in 15 games.

Gostisbehere already had the longest rookie scoring streak in Flyers history.

Sam Gagner and Jakub Voracek scored 39 seconds apart in the first period for the Flyers. Brayden Schenn and Matt Read also scored for the Flyers.

Nick Spaling snapped a 60-game drought and Byron Froese scored for the first time in two months for Toronto, his second goal of the season. Shawn Matthias, who was returning from a five-game absence because of whiplash, and Peter Holland also scored for Toronto.

Toronto has lost 15 of its past 19 games.

CAPITALS 4, DEVILS 3

WASHINGTON (AP) — Brooks Orpik scored his second goal of the season with 3:58 left and Washington rallied to beat New Jersey, becoming the first NHL team with 90 points this season.

Washington's T.J. Oshie tied the game with 6:05 left in his 500th NHL game. Orpik got his fourth assist of the season on Oshie's goal.

Alex Ovechkin scored his league-leading 38th goal and had an assist, and Evgeny Kuznetsov also had a goal and an assist for Washington.

Washington's Braden Holtby made 21 saves in his league-leading 37th win. New Jersey's Cory Schneider made 28 stops.

Travis Zajac, Kyle Palmieri and Reid Boucher scored for New Jersey.

Boucher had two assists before his goal put New Jersey ahead 3-2 midway through the third period.

LIGHTNING 4, PENGUINS 2

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tampa Bay forward Steven Stamkos became the third player in franchise history to reach 300 goals, and the Lightning ended a long losing streak in Pittsburgh.

Stamkos knocked in a rebound off Alex Killorn's shot midway through the first period to join Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis as the only Lightning players with 300 goals.

Anton Stralman, Matthew Carle and Tyler Johnson also scored for Tampa Bay. Ben Bishop finished with 37 saves.

Tom Kuhnhackl picked up the first NHL goal of his career for Pittsburgh. Scott Wilson added his second in as many games but the Penguins fell to the Lightning at home in the regular season for the first time since Nov. 12, 2010.

Jeff Zatkoff stopped 16 of 20 shots while making an impromptu start when Marc-Andre Fleury became ill during the pregame.

SENATORS 3, RED WINGS 2, SO

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Kyle Turris had the only goal in the shootout and Dion Phaneuf got his first goal with Ottawa in a 3-2 win over Detroit.

Zack Smith also scored for the Senators. Ottawa has won three straight games for the first time since Nov. 19-24. Craig Anderson turned away 29 shots.

Andreas Athanasiou and Brad Richards scored for the Red Wings, and Petr Mrazek made 25 saves.

The Senators have struggled when giving up the first goal this season but were able to change their fortune on this night thanks to their newest player.

Phaneuf tied it with 3:51 left in the third period when he ripped a shot through traffic to beat Mrazek.
