Detroit: Pavel Datsyuk scored twice in his return from an injury to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.

Datsyuk, who had missed Detroit’s last four games with a sore groin, sent a slap shot over Steve Mason’s shoulder in the second period to give the Red Wings their third goal. Mason was then pulled after making 11 saves.

Datsyuk knocked a rebound past Ray Emery late in the period to put the Red Wings up 4-1.

Jimmy Howard made 22 saves as Detroit won its second straight. Emery finished with nine saves.

John Tavares scored a power-play goal late in overtime to lift New York over Washington.

The goal, the ninth of the season for Tavares, came at 4:36 and was assisted by Ryan Strome and Johnny Boychuk.

The Islanders have set a franchise record by winning 16 of their first 22 games. They are 10-1-0 in their last 11 and 7-0 in extra time this season.

Jaroslav Halak made 25 saves for his eighth straight win. He has allowed only 10 goals in those eight wins.

Anders Lee and Travis Hamonic scored first-period goals for the Islanders. Alex Ovechkin scored two power-play goals for the Capitals in his 700th NHL game.

Bryan Little and Michael Frolik scored to lead Winnipeg to its second road win in two nights.

Chris Stewart had the goal for Buffalo, which had won a season-best three straight.

Ondrej Pavelec stopped 19 shots for the Jets. Jhonas Enroth made 24 saves for the Sabres.

Dustin Brown’s goal and assist helped spark a four-goal first period, and Martin Jones earned his fifth career shutout.

Mike Richards, Tyler Toffoli and Justin Williams also scored for the Kings, who won on the road for just the second time this season.

Starting his second straight game and given a comfortable lead after the first, Jones stopped 28 shots for his first shutout since April 10, 2014.

Darcy Kuemper gave up all four first-period goals on 10 shots before being replaced by Niklas Backstrom to start the second.

The blowout loss was Minnesota’s second defeat at home and its most lopsided of the season.
