The Utah Mammoth scored four goals in the third period to end the Dallas Stars' 15-game point streak during the NHL's five-game slate on Monday.

Mammoth 6-3 Stars

Heading into the third period tied up 2-2, Utah scored four unanswered goals - one shorthand, one even strength, one on a power play, and the fourth an empty netter - as they improved to 35-27-6, while Dallas fell to 42-15-10.

There were 20 players in this game who recorded at least one point - nobody had two or more. Every Utah forward besides three had a point.

Lawson Crouse (UTA), Jamie Benn (DAL), and Tyler Myers (DAL) led all skaters with a 7.6 player rating.

Devils 4-3 Bruins

After the Bruins got out to a 2-0 lead entering the second period, the Devils would score three straight, with Paul Cotter (7) putting them ahead 3-2. 

But the Bruins' star David Pastrnak (26), who scored the first goal of the game and finished with the highest player rating (8.3) of all skaters, would tie it up 3-3 early into the third period, which sent it to overtime. 

But Cotter wouldn't be denied as his eighth goal of the season gave the Devils the OT win with just seven seconds left as they improved to 34-31-2. 

Meanwhile, Boston, who is trying to hold their Eastern Conference Wild Card spot, fell to 37-23-7.

Kings 4-1 Rangers

Artemi Panarin recorded an assist in his return to New York against his former team. Alex Laferriere led the way with his 17th goal, along with his 14th and 15th assists, as the Kings improved 28-24-15. He also led all skaters with an 8.1 player rating - the third time in the past month he's recorded at least an 8.0.

Meanwhile, the Rangers remain at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 28-31-8 record.

Red Wings 5-2 Flames

Like others, the Red Wings would score three straight in the second period after going down 1-0 to start the game. 

Matt Coronato (15) would keep it close at 3-2 for the Flames heading into the third, but the Red Wings pulled away as they improved to 37-23-8.

Patrick Kane (12) scored twice, while Alex DeBrincat recorded three assists. DeBrincat's 8.5 player rating was the highest of any player from any game on Monday.
