UNDATED (AP) — The St. Louis Blues were a pretty hot hockey team before going 0-2-1 through the New York metropolitan area.

The Blues have followed losses to the Rangers and Islanders by falling to the Devils, 3-2 in overtime. Dougie Hamilton scored at 1:12 of OT and rookie Nico Daws made 19 saves. The Devils led 2-0 on goals by Ty Smith and Dawson Mercer heading into the third, but St. Louis knotted the score when Torey Krug and Jordan Kyrou scored less than four minutes apart early in the period.

Vladimir Tarasenko had two assists for the Blues, who had been winners of four straight and six of seven before their winless road trip.

Elsewhere on NHL ice:

— Victor Hedman, Corey Perry and Mikhail Sergachev scored during a 32-second span of the third period to send the Lightning past the Blackhawks, 6-3. The two-time defending Stanley Cup champions came from behind with a five-goal outburst over seven minutes bridging the second and third periods. Hedman scored twice and Sergachev had a goal and two assists.

— Forward Chris Kreider added another two goals as the Rangers defeated the Jets, 4-1. Kreider is tied for second in the league with 38 goals. Mike Zibanejad and Barclay Goodrow also scored for the Blueshirts, who got 45 saves from Igor Shesterkin.

— Jason Robertson did it again, registering his second straight hat trick to power the Stars to their seventh win in nine games, 6-3 against the Wild. Robertson capped his outburst with an empty-netter, two days after scoring three against the Jets. He has 29 goals this season and seven in his last three games.

— Martin Necas scored with 9:38 remaining to give the Hurricanes their first lead in a 3-2 win over the Kraken. Necas had gone 18 games without a goal before helping Carolina extend its home point straight to 11 games. Nino Niederreiter and Teuvo Teravainen  scored second-period goals on power plays for the Hurricanes.

— The Golden Knights pulled out a 2-1 win over the Senators on Jack Eichel’s power-play goal with 5.2 seconds remaining. Jonathan Marchessault also scored for Vegas and Robin Lehner made 39 saves in his 150th career win. Brady Tkachuk scored the lone goal for Ottawa.

— The streaking Kings earned a 3-0 win at Buffalo as Andreas Athanasiou scored twice, including the 100th of his career. Cal Petersen stopped 19 shots to help Los Angeles win for the seventh time in nine games overall and and improved to 10-1-2 over its past 13 road games. The Kings are 31-19-7, their most victories through 57 games since 2015-16.

— Rickard Rakell scored 14 seconds into overtime to complete the Ducks’ 3-2 win over the Sharks. Adam Henrique had a goal and an assist before playing an important role in the clever scheme that led to Rakell’s game-winning goal. Anthony Stolarz made 20 saves in Anaheim’s fourth victory in 11 games.
