"You've gotta have great teammates to pass you the puck, and they did it," Jagr said. "I got 20 goals at age 44 because of them. Thank you, guys."

CAPITALS CONTINUE SUCCESS AT VERIZON CENTER
The Washington Capitals tied the game three times before Brooks Orpik (1-1-2) scored the go-ahead goal at 16:02 of the third period to lift the Capitals to their eighth victory in their past nine games.
* At 43-10-4 (90 points), the League-leading Capitals continued their best start to a season - in terms of wins and points - in their history. Their 43 wins (in 57 GP) are two shy of their 82-game total from 2014-15 (45-26-11).
* The Capitals are 16-1-1 in their past 18 games at Verizon Center since Nov. 21. Their 22 home wins and 46 home points are tied for best in the League (w/ CHI).
* Orpik picked up his first multi-point game since Feb. 11, 2015 at the San Jose Sharks (0-2-2) and also scored his first career game-winning goal (798 GP).
* Braden Holtby made 21 saves and is 19-2-1 at Verizon Center this season (2.03 goals-against average, .927 SV%, 1 SO). He leads the League with 37 wins, four shy of his career high and franchise-record tying performance in 2014-15 (63 GP).
MARCHAND SPARKS BRUINS' RALLY IN DALLAS . . .
The Boston Bruins scored six unanswered goals to erase an early 3-1 deficit - powered by a three-point performance by Brad Marchand (2-1-3) - en route to their eighth win in their past 10 road games and an 11-5-1 record in their past 17 games since Jan. 15.
* At 32-21-6 (70 points), the Bruins maintained their hold on second place in the Atlantic Division, two points ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning (32-22-4, 68 points) who also won Saturday.
* Marchand picked up his second three-point game (also Feb. 11 at WPG: 1-2-3) and fifth multi-goal game of the season (54 GP). In doing so, Marchand reached the 30-goal milestone for the first time in his NHL career (30-16-46), surpassing his previous career high of 28 goals established in 2011-12 (76 GP).
* Marchand has scored in 13 of his past 16 games (15-4-19) to equal his goal output from his first 38 games this season (15-12-27).
* Seven other Bruins players earned multiple points: Brett Connolly (1-1-2), Matt Beleskey (1-1-2), David Krejci (1-1-2), Patrice Bergeron (0-2-2), Zdeno Chara (0-2-2), Dennis Seidenberg (0-2-2) and Joe Morrow (0-2-2).
. . . STAMKOS SCORES 300TH GOAL AS LIGHTNING KEEP PACE IN ATLANTIC
Four different players scored - including captain Steven Stamkos - to help the Lightning to back-to-back victories and to their second win against the Pittsburgh Penguins this month (Feb. 5 vs. PIT: 6-3 W).

* At 32-22-4 (68 points), the Lightning leapfrogged the Detroit Red Wings (29-20-10, 68 points), who lost in a shootout, for third place in the Atlantic Division. Tampa Bay holds one game in hand and owns the ROW tiebreaker (TBL: 29, DET: 28).
* Stamkos (550 GP) scored his 300th NHL goal to become the third player in Lightning history to reach the milestone, joining Vincent Lecavalier (383 in 1,037 GP) and Martin St. Louis (365 in 972 GP).
* Elias says Stamkos (26 years, 13 days) is the ninth-youngest player in NHL history to reach the 300-goal milestone. The only active player to do so at a younger age: Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin, who achieved the feat on April 5, 2011 at 25 years, 200 days.
* Stamkos, the No. 1 selection in the 2008 NHL Draft, has scored 162 more goals than the next-closest player from his draft class (Jordan Eberle: 138). In fact, only one player has scored more goals than Stamkos since he entered the League in 2008-09 (Ovechkin: 350).
GOSTISBEHERE (AGAIN) SCORES IN OVERTIME, EXTENDS POINT STREAK
Shayne Gostisbehere
scored 29 seconds into overtime
to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to victory and extend his point streak to 15 games (5-13-18), adding to his NHL record for arookie defenseman as well as his Flyers record for any rookie.
* At 26-21-11 (63 points), the Flyers climbed within three points of the Penguins (29-20-8, 66 points), who lost in regulation, for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference.
* Elias says Gostisbehere became the first defenseman to post a 15-game point streak for any team since Chris Chelios had an equal run with the Chicago Blackhawks from Oct. 26 - Nov. 28, 1995 (4-16-20).
* Elias adds Gostisbehere became the first rookie to score four overtime goals in a season, surpassing the previous high of three achieved by Ryan Malone in 2003-04 (w/ PIT), Sidney Crosby in 2005-06 (w/ PIT) and Andrew Cogliano in 2007-08 (w/ EDM).
* With 12 goals this season, Gostisbehere (40 GP) is one shy of tying the Flyers record for goals by a rookie defenseman set by Behn Wilson (13 G in 80 GP) in 1978-79.

* Gostisbehere is the fifth rookie in NHL history to have a point streak of at least 15 games:

Vladimir Tarasenko (1-1-2) sparked St. Louis with his 28th goal of the season and Brian Elliott (18 saves) extended his personal point streak to seven games (6-0-1, 1.69 GAA, .945 SV%).

At 34-20-4 (72 points), the Kings increased their lead to four points over the idle Anaheim Ducks (30-19-8, 68 points) for top spot in the Pacific Division.
