Here are Wednesday's three stories:
Devils veteran seals late rally
The New Jersey Devils made a late push in the third period to hand the Toronto Maple Leafs their seventh straight loss. It was 38-year-old forward Patrik Elias that stole the extra point in the Devils' 2-1 victory.
The veteran had the secondary assist on defenceman Adam Larsson's game-tying goal late in the third.
He followed it up with the Devils' final shootout attempt and schooled Jonathan Bernier in the process.
Leafs continue to spiral
Despite earning a point in the loss to the Devils, the struggling Maple Leafs continue to slip further away from a postseason spot.
The team's losing streak continues to grow. it was a close game, with both regulation goals scored in the final 10 minutes.
Since winning six straight in December, the Leafs have had a miserable new year, finding the victory column only once in 11 games.
One bright spot was the backhander that beat Devils goalie Cory Schnieder to open up scoring. It was forward James van Riemsdyk's 21st goal of the year, making him the team's leading goal scorer.
Ovechkin takes scoring lead
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin came up with his eighth multi-goal game of the season to down the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second time this season.
In a dominating 4-0 victory, the 29-year-old sniper drew first blood early and added a power-play goal in the second to make him the league's leading goal scorer with 29.
The Capitals ended a four-game losing streak, while the Penguins continue to struggle in January. Pittsburgh has gone a disappointing 3-8-3 since the holiday break.
