Brock Boeser produced his seventh career regular-season hat trick and added an assist as the Vancouver Canucks recovered from blowing a four-goal lead to beat the Colorado Avalanche 8-6 in Denver on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Teddy Blueger scored twice for the Canucks (22-44-8, 52 points), who set a season high for goals while ending a six-game skid. Vancouver\u2019s Marcus Pettersson had a goal and two assists, Max Sasson contributed a goal and an assist, Jake DeBrusk also scored, and Drew O\u2019Connor and Marco Rossi had two assists apiece.<\/p>\n

Kevin Lankinen turned away 24 shots for Vancouver, which owns the lowest point total in the NHL. Colorado has the highest point total in the league.<\/p>\n

The Avalanche (49-15-10, 108 points) rallied from a 6-2 deficit to tie it on Sam Malinski\u2019s second goal of the night at 13:58 of the third period. Pettersson answered 23 seconds later, and Boeser scored an empty-net goal at 18:31. Nathan MacKinnon scored his league-leading 50th goal of the season, Malinski also had an assist, Brent Burns recorded a goal and an assist and Gabriel Landeskog and Parker Kelly also scored for the Avalanche.<\/p>\n

Kings 2, Blues 1 (OT)<\/p>\n

Trevor Moore scored 1:56 into overtime as Los Angeles edged visiting St. Louis.<\/p>\n

Adrian Kempe scored in regulation and Anton Forsberg made 23 saves as the Kings leapfrogged the Nashville Predators and moved into the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Los Angeles is just 2-2-3 in the past seven games.<\/p>\n

Robert Thomas tallied for the Blues, who have dropped back-to-back games following a four-game winning streak. Jordan Binnington stopped 24 shots.<\/p>\n

Sharks 4, Ducks 3<\/p>\n

Macklin Celebrini and Alexander Wennberg scored in the final two minutes to give San Jose a come-from-behind win against visiting Anaheim.<\/p>\n

The Sharks pulled goalie Yaroslav Askarov for the extra skater, and Celebrini scored with a wrist shot from just above the left circle to tie it 3-3 with 1:39 left. The goal gave the second-year star his first 40-goal campaign. Wennberg then scored from the high slot off a feed from Celebrini with 31 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

Celebrini finished with two goals and two assists, Will Smith had a goal and two assists and Askarov made 28 saves for the Sharks, who are one point back of the West\u2019s second wild-card spot. Ryan Poehling, Alex Killorn and Troy Terry scored, Drew Helleson had two assists and Lukas Dostal stopped 17 shots for the Ducks, who lead the Pacific Division.<\/p>\n
