UNDATED (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks have posted one of their best victories of the season.

Caleb Jones scored his first goal of the season 81 seconds into overtime to complete the Hawks’ wild 5-4 win over Washington. After Alex Ovechkin notched his NHL record-tying 274th career power-play goal, Alex DeBrincat, Kurashev and Entwistle scored in a 34-second span of the second period.

The Caps picked up a point after Conor Sheary tied it with three seconds left in regulation.

Elsewhere on NHL ice:

— Kaapo Kakko had two goals, including the game-winner with 2:18 left in the Rangers’ 3-2 verdict over the Coyotes. Mika Zibanejad added a goal and an assist for the Rangers, who had dropped two straight and three of four. Chris Kreider tied a career high with three assists after entering the game with just four all season.

— Troy Terry scored his 18th goal and Derek Grant got one short-handed in the Ducks’ fourth victory in five games, 4-1 against the Kraken. Trevor Zegras and Sam Carrick also scored for the Pacific Division-leading Ducks, who spoiled expansion Seattle’s first appearance in Southern California with a one-sided win. Anthony Stolarz made 19 saves for Anaheim, which has scored 11 goals on the Kraken in two meetings this season.
