Samberg scores in OT to give Jets 3-2 win over Kraken

SEATTLE (AP) — Dylan Samberg scored 1:47 into overtime and the Winnipeg Jets rallied from two goals down to beat the Seattle Kraken 3-2 on Sunday night.

Cole Perfetti had a goal and an assist, and Kyle Connor also scored for Winnipeg and Vladislav Namestnikov had two assists. Eric Comrie had 14 saves for the win.

Comrie left the game after he was run into early the first period. Connor Hellebuyck came on and played 10:10 while stopping five of the six shots he faced before Comrie returned.

Jani Nyman and Michael Eyssimont scored for Seattle, and Joey Daccord finished with 23 saves.

In the extra period, Perfetti skated wide around the right side and drove toward the net before passing across the crease to Samberg, who beat Daccord on the blocker side.

Nyman scored a power-play just short of the midpoint of the first period, and Eyssimont pushed the Kraken's lead to 2-0 with 4:37 remaining in the period.

Perfetti got the Jets on the scoreboard with 17 seconds to go in the first, and Connor tied it 2-2 with his 36th goal of the season with 8:18 remaining in the second.

Jets: Winnipeg won for the fifth time in six games and moved two points ahead of Washington for the most points in the league.

Kraken: Seattle fell to 4-5-1 in its last 10 games to fall 10 points out of a wild card in the Western Conference.

With the Kraken leading 2-1 in the second period, Seattle defenseman Ryker Evans, who already had an assist in the game, had his shot from the point blocked by the Jets' Morgan Barron. Barron sent the puck ahead to Connor, who skated in alone on Daccord and put a forehand shot in for the tying goal.

Winnipeg finished with a 37-21 advantage on hits.

Jets play at Vancouver on Tuesday night, and Kraken visit Chicago to open a four-game trip.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jalen Johnson had 18 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in his seventh triple-double of the season, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 111-99 victory over the New York Knicks on Friday night.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 23 points and Onyeka Okongwu had 22 for the Hawks, while both Zaccharie Risacher and Luke Kennard scored 12.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 24 points. OG Anunoby had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Mikal Bridges added 18 points.

Ariel Hukporti, who replaced Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) in the starting lineup, grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds for New York.

The Knicks got off to a quick start, taking an 11-2 lead. Trailing 30-29, the Hawks scored the final four points of the first quarter and never trailed again.

Atlanta extended its lead to 60-45 on Okongwu’s short jumper with 1:16 remaining in the second quarter before Brunson’s runner cut the Knicks’ deficit to 60-47 at halftime.

Alexander-Walker’s driving layup with 1:14 left in the third quarter gave the Hawks their biggest lead of the game at 94-68 and they were ahead 94-70 at the end of the quarter.

The Knicks scored the first 11 points of the fourth quarter and pulled within 94-81 before Kennard connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to end the streak.

New York mounted a final rally following consecutive 3-pointers by Bridges to edge within 108-99, but never got any closer.

The Hawks, who have won two in a row following a season-high, seven-game losing streak, became the first team to hold the Knicks to fewer than 100 points this season.

Atlanta's Trae Young (bruised right quadriceps) and Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (left ankle injury management) each missed their third straight games.

Hawks: Visit Toronto on Saturday.

Knicks: Host Philadelphia on Saturday.
