Marian Hossa scored 1:44 into overtime as the Chicago Blackhawks extended their record for the best start in NHL history with a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
Viktor Stalberg and Patrick Kane also scored for Chicago, who are riding a league record of taking at least a point in 19 straight games.
The Anaheim Ducks held the previous record of 16 games to begin the 2006-07 season.
“The biggest thing is that we don’t want to lose right now,” said Kane. “We want to keep this thing going. I’m telling you, after the second period guys weren’t very happy that we were down a goal and we knew we wanted to come back and change that right away.”
Goaltender Ray Emery stopped 17 shots for Chicago, who have won six in a row and improved to 8-0-1 at home this season.
Jeff Petry and Nail Yakupov scored goals for the Oilers, who began a nine-game road trip on Monday.
Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 31 of 34 shots in the loss. Stalberg tied the game 2-2 early in the third period. Michal Rozsival threw the puck toward the crease for Stalberg, who stabbed at it and it slid under Khabibulin, of Russia.
In overtime, Hossa knocked in his own rebound to enable Chicago to extend the streak.
Slava Voynov scored the go-ahead goal and Anze Kopitar had three assists as the Los Angeles Kings won their fourth straight, beating the Anaheim Ducks 5-2.
Dustin Penner, Dustin Brown, Jake Muzzin and Jeff Carter also scored for the Kings as they halted Anaheim’s six-game winning streak.
Roman Josi scored twice, including an overtime winner, and added two assists as the Nashville Predators beat the Dallas Stars 5-4.
The Ottawa Senators beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 via a shoot-out, and the Toronto Maple Leafs were 4-2 winners over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Key findings
- Over a period of seven years, a team of scientists analysed dietary data from 50,000 North American adults.
- Eating one or two meals a day was associated with a relative decrease in BMI, compared with three meals. Snacks count as a meal. Likewise, participants who ate more than three meals a day experienced an increase in BMI: the more meals a day, the greater the increase.
- People who ate breakfast experienced a relative decrease in their BMI compared with “breakfast-skippers”.
- Those who turned the eating day on its head to make breakfast the biggest meal of the day, did even better.
- But scrapping dinner altogether gave the best results. The study found that the BMI of subjects who had a long overnight fast (of 18 hours or more) decreased when compared even with those who had a medium overnight fast, of between 12 and 17 hours.
