The New York Islanders extended their point streak to 13 games (12-0-1) with a 5-4 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Nassau Coliseum, the fifth time in their history they've had a run of at least 13. Center Casey Cizikas became the 11th different Islanders player to score a game-winning goal this season, the most by any team and three more than the Washington Capitals, Nashville Predators, Pittsburgh Penguins, Buffalo Sabres and Dallas Stars (each with eight).
The Capitals defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 at Wells Fargo Center to stretch their point streak to 13 games (11-0-2). Washington is 14-2-4 with 32 points, the highest total after 20 games in its history, and two games from its longest point streak (14-0-1 in 2009-10).
