WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Rob Zepp made 25 saves in his NHL debut and Jakub Voracek scored 10 seconds into overtime, sending the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.

Voracek and linemate Claude Giroux forced a Dustin Byfuglien turnover behind the Winnipeg net, and Voracek slid the puck through Ondrej Pavelec's pads for his second goal of the game.

Vincent Lecavalier had two third-period goals for the Flyers, who rallied from a 3-1 deficit.

Matt Halischuk, Mathieu Perreault and Byfuglien scored for Winnipeg. Pavelec made 19 saves.

The 33-year-old Zepp was promoted from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League due to an injury to starter Steve Mason. The Flyers say he is the oldest goaltender to win his NHL debut since 1926.

Zepp, who spent the previous seven seasons in Germany, had a sprawling toe save on Mark Scheifele late in the second period.

BLACKHAWKS 4, MAPLE LEAFS 0

CHICAGO -- Patrick Kane had a power-play goal and two assists, leading Antti Raanta and the Blackhawks to the win.

The Blackhawks played with a "CR" decal on their helmets after assistant equipment manager Clint Reif died earlier in the day. The team said it was "deeply saddened" by the loss and declined further comment while asking for respect for the privacy for Reif's family and friends.

Raanta made 31 saves for his second shutout of the season, helping Chicago rebound from a 3-2 shootout loss Saturday night in Columbus.

James Reimer made 30 saves in Toronto's third straight loss following a six-game winning streak.

AVALANCHE 2, RED WINGS 1, SO

DETROIT -- Jarome Iginla scored in the ninth shootout round to lift the Avalanche to the victory.

Iginla got a wrist shot past Petr Mrazek, who had turned away six straight Avalanche shooters. Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene also scored in the tiebreaker as Colorado ended a three-game road trip with five points.

Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar had shootout goals for Detroit, which fell to 1-7 this season in the tiebreaker.

Detroit had a 22-12 shots advantage five minutes into the third period and finally cashed in when Pavel Datsyuk wristed a power-play shot past Avalanche goalie Calvin Pickard for his 13th goal.

The Avalanche tied it with 4:15 left in regulation when Erik Johnson scored on the power play for his eighth of the season.

RANGERS 1, HURRICANES 0

NEW YORK -- Ryan McDonagh scored in the first and Cam Talbot made 18 saves, leading New York to its sixth consecutive win.

The Rangers completed a sweep of the home-and-home weekend series against the Eastern Conference-worst Hurricanes, who lost for the eighth time in nine games.

Talbot is 3-3-1 this season backing up Henrik Lundqvist, with all three of his victories being shutouts.

McDonagh scored his second goal of the season 4:10 into the game. He slapped the puck past goaltender Anton Khudobin, who has yet to win this season (0-8-2).

BRUINS 4, SABRES 3, OT

BOSTON -- Loui Eriksson scored 2:14 into overtime, and the Bruins rallied for the victory.

Dougie Hamilton scored twice for Boston, including a tying goal with 1:31 left in the third after the Bruins pulled goalie Tuukka Rask. Chris Kelly also scored for Boston, and defenseman Zdeno Chara had two assists.

Buffalo couldn't quite hang on after holding a 3-2 lead for most of the third period on Tim Schaller's first NHL goal. Schaller was recalled from Rochester earlier in the day and played his third career game 50 miles south of his hometown of Merrimack, New Hampshire.

Andrej Meszaros and Rasmus Ristolainen also scored for the Sabres, who were outshot 37-28.

STARS 6, OILERS 5, SO

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Tyler Seguin had two goals and an assist, and then scored in the shootout to help Dallas to its fourth consecutive win.

Shawn Horcoff had the winning score in the eighth round of the tiebreaker, and also collected his fifth goal in the first period. Erik Cole and Jamie Benn also scored in regulation for the Stars (14-13-5), who have won five of six.

Taylor Hall and Mark Arcobello each had two goals for the Oilers (7-20-7), who blew a 5-2 lead.

Edmonton has lost seven straight and 18 of 19.
