The Edmonton Oilers avoided matching a franchise-record losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.
The game was locked at 2-2 in the second period before Marc Pouliot and Sam Gagner found the net to ensure the Oilers ended a run of 13 consecutive losses, one shy of their longest stretch without a win, set in 1993.
"It's obviously a great feeling," Gagner said.
"You never want to be in that situation. But it was great to have fun again. It's only one win. Hopefully it gives us some confidence."
"It hasn't been easy, and it was certainly not something I expected to happen to this hockey team," said the Oilers' coach, Pat Quinn, after seeing his team win for the first time this year.
"We've had some rough spots in a lot of these games and haven't held up.
"We had a couple of rough stretches again tonight but we bent and came back. We had a pretty good outing. It's something we have to keep building on."
Elsewhere in the NHL, Sidney Crosby scored an eight-minute hat-trick in the second period as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-4.
The feat brought the Penguins' captain level with San Jose's Patrick Marleau for the NHL scoring lead with 37 goals.
"I don't know if he's getting better, but he's taking advantage of the opportunities we gave him," the Sabres' Tim Kennedy said.
"That's on us. He is one of the best players in the game, but I think that we gave him a lot."
Crosby was quick to absolve the Sabres' netminder, Ryan Miller, from any blame for his goals.
"We made some good plays. We had an odd-man rush, we had a good bounce off the skate and he [Miller] isn't able to get back in the net [on one goal]," said Crosby. "If you look at the goals, you can't really fault him on a lot. There were some really nice plays made there."
Mike Richards scored twice and Ray Emery made 18 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the new-look Calgary Flames 3-0.
Richards opened the scoring midway through the game and added his 22nd of the season on a power play.
"We knew they were going to come out hard, and instead of wading into the game and seeing what they were going to do, we came out and initiated," Richards said.
"We played well all the way through. We played well defensively, we did a lot of good things offensively."
All four players acquired by the Flames in a Sunday trade with Toronto that sent the defenceman Dion Phaneuf to the Maple Leafs were in Calgary's line-up.
The centre Matt Stajan was on the top line between Jerome Iginla and Dustin Boyd.
The Finnish left-winger Niklas Hagman joined countryman Olli Jokinen on a line with Jamie Lundmark.
Jamal Mayers skated on the fourth line, and the defenceman Ian White was paired with Phaneuf's former defence partner Robyn Regehr.
"You try and build chemistry, and get used to tendencies of the guys you're playing with. It doesn't just happen," Stajan said.
"You start to get a feel, but it wasn't there tonight. We've got to make sure we work hard at practice and really get a feel for whoever we're playing with and be better."
The Flames made more changes to their roster after Monday's game when they sent Jokinen to the New York Rangers in exchange for the forwards Chris Higgins and Ales Kotalik.

Electoral College Victory
Trump has so far secured 295 Electoral College votes, according to the Associated Press, exceeding the 270 needed to win. Only Nevada and Arizona remain to be called, and both swing states are leaning Republican. Trump swept all five remaining swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, sealing his path to victory and giving him a strong mandate.
Popular Vote Tally
The count is ongoing, but Trump currently leads with nearly 51 per cent of the popular vote to Harris’s 47.6 per cent. Trump has over 72.2 million votes, while Harris trails with approximately 67.4 million.

Business Insights
- Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
- The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs

FFP EXPLAINED
What is Financial Fair Play?
Introduced in 2011 by Uefa, European football’s governing body, it demands that clubs live within their means. Chiefly, spend within their income and not make substantial losses.
What the rules dictate?
The second phase of its implementation limits losses to €30 million (Dh136m) over three seasons. Extra expenditure is permitted for investment in sustainable areas (youth academies, stadium development, etc). Money provided by owners is not viewed as income. Revenue from “related parties” to those owners is assessed by Uefa's “financial control body” to be sure it is a fair value, or in line with market prices.
What are the penalties?
There are a number of punishments, including fines, a loss of prize money or having to reduce squad size for European competition – as happened to PSG in 2014. There is even the threat of a competition ban, which could in theory lead to PSG’s suspension from the Uefa Champions League.
