Marc-Andre Fleury still has plenty of game.

Nearing the end of 2016 - a year in which the Pittsburgh Penguins goalie watched rookie Matt Murray backstop the team to a Stanley Cup, Fleury did his best to leave a mark with a diving stick save against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.

The save was one of 21 made by Fleury in Pittsburgh's 5-2 win.

Brent Burns can't be stopped.

The San Jose Sharks defenseman accepted a beautiful pass from Joe Pavelski and dropped an even nicer deke on John Gibson to score the 10th overtime goal of his career Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks.

As a result, he jumped into second place for most regular-season overtime goals by a defenseman.

Burns also leads blue-liners in scoring this season with 10 goals and 34 points.

With yet another victory Tuesday night, the Minnesota Wild pushed their current winning streak to 11 games.

The Wild edged the Nashville Predators 3-2, putting them within a point of the Chicago Blackhawks for top spot in the Western Conference with three games in hand.

Despite the recent streak, the team has been rolling along all season which has new head coach Bruce Boudreau grinning from ear to ear, thanks in large part to one incredible stat.

"There has been one game that we've lost by more than one goal. it's not hard to be proud of them," Boudreau said, according to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune.

That's right.

Only in the team's 6-3 loss to the New York Islanders on Oct. 23 have the Wild lost by more than a single goal all season. Such a stat sees the team with the second-best goal differential at plus-37.

As fate would have it, the Wild's next test will come against those very Islanders on Thursday before they host the Columbus Blue Jackets as the league's two hottest club face off.

Another day, another goal for Sidney Crosby.

The Pittsburgh Penguins captain reached the quarter-century mark on Tuesday, collecting the game-winner as the Penguins swept past the New Jersey Devils, 5-2.

For Crosby, the goal extended his current goal-scoring streak to four games and his point streak to five - nothing new there.

But what would be new is if Crosby were able to keep up such a streak for the remainder of the regular season. Crosby is currently on pace to hit 63 goals this season which would be far and away the highest total of his career.

Crosby's highest goal total is 51 which he collected during the 2009-10 season, meaning the 29-year-old is on pace to eclipse his previous career best by 12 goals.

Should Crosby hit that figure, it would be the highest total since Alex Ovechkin netted 65 goals in 2008. It would also mark the best single-season tally for the Penguins since Mario Lemieux put up 69 during the 1995-96 campaign.

Crosby is playing out of his mind this season, and if he keeps it up he'll even outdo himself.

It wasn't pretty, but the Columbus Blue Jackets extended their winning streak to 13 games Tuesday thanks to a 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins.

The Blue Jackets continue to build on their franchise record and become just the ninth team in NHL history to record a winning streak of at least a baker's dozen.

All that aside, head coach John Tortorella was less than thrilled with his team - who coughed up a three-goal lead in its first game since the Holiday break.

"I don't think either team was really that great, we'll take it and put it in the bank," Tortorella said postgame. "It was a slop fest. I lit a match to the tape already, it's done it's burnt. Seriously we don't even look at it."

The Blue Jackets were outshot 40-22 by the Bruins but were able to convert on one of their three power plays and kill off all three penalties they took in the game, which Tortorella feels was the difference.

"Special teams wins the game for us, we do squat 5-on-5," Tortorella said.

Despite the poor play, the win sees the Blue Jackets share the sixth-longest winning streak in NHL history, but while it would be easy to get overzealous of such a stat, it does little for Tortorella.

"I don't think about it, you guys (the media) do," said Tortorella. "I'm not sure if the players do, I don't. As far as us preparing them we're just trying to go about our business and get ready for each game."

In the meantime, Tortorella can rest a little easier knowing his club remains atop the NHL standings with 52 points on the year.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Nick Foligno scored a power-play goal midway through the third period, Sergei Bobrovsky had 37 saves and the NHL-leading Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on Tuesday night to extend their winning streak to 13 games.

Scott Hartnell, Seth Jones, and Matt Calvert scored to put the burgeoning Blue Jackets up 3-0 in the first period, but they were outplayed from there by the more aggressive Bruins. Columbus stayed in the game thanks to the latest stellar performance by Bobrovsky, who got his first career victory in eight games against Boston.

David Backes, Austin Czarnik, and David Krejci scored for the Bruins, and Tuukka Rask had 18 saves.

Columbus hasn't lost since Nov. 26 on this franchise-best winning streak. It leads the brutal Metropolitan Division a season after finishing in last place.

Foligno scored the winner with a wraparound goal 10:46 into the third period off a pass from Alexander Wennberg. The Blue Jackets then killed a power play with less than four minutes left and held off a rush by the Bruins after they pulled their goalie with about 1 1/2 minutes remaining.

Columbus opened the scoring 3:02 into the first when a wrist shot by Lukas Sedlak bounced off Rask's pads. Hartnell skated in front of the net after being checked to the ice and poked it in for his ninth goal of the season.

Jones scored from the middle of the left circle at 8:47 after taking a pass from Hartnell from behind the net just after a Jackets' power play expired. Less than a minute later, Calvert got a steal and scored after getting his own rebound off Rask's pads.

Boston then got two goals in quick fashion. Backes charged through the slot and shot the puck over Bobrovsky's right shoulder for his ninth goal at 11:05, and 55 seconds later, Czarnik scored in traffic off a rebound.

After Bobrovsky turned away a fierce barrage for most of the second period, Boston evened the score at 3 when Krejci got a put-back tally off a blocked shot by Ryan Spooner. Bobrovsky stopped 17 shots in the period.

NOTES: The Blue Jackets haven't gone without a point since the day before Thanksgiving in a 2-0 loss to Calgary and have won seven in a row at home. ... Bobrovsky has now beaten every NHL team. ... The Blue Jackets are only the ninth team in the 99-year history of the NHL to have won 13 games in a row. They are 14-3-1 at home. ... Columbus is unbeaten this month and broke the franchise mark for wins in a calendar month (12). ... Boston D John-Michael Liles skated Tuesday for the first time since getting a concussion that has kept him out of the last 14 games. He hasn't been cleared to practice and it's not clear when he could return to the lineup. ... Boston's Torey Krug has five assists in three games and 13 in his past 16. ... D Joe Morrow, C Noel Acciari and C Tim Schaller were scratched for Boston, and D Dalton Prout and D Scott Harrington were scratches for Columbus.
