NHL Roundup: Bruins Buzz Jets

Boston — Tuukka Rask was rarely tested in his latest win, and Patrice Bergeron’s power-play score capped a three-goal second period that carried the Boston Bruins to a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night.

Rask needed only 11 saves to raise his record to 11-2, but lost a bid for his fourth shutout with 2:40 to play. He was the NHL’s First Star last week, going 4-0-0 with a 0.75 goals-against average.

Brad Marchand, Matt Beleskey and Tim Schaller also scored for the Bruins, who won for the eighth time in 11 games.

Adam Lowry scored for Winnipeg, and Michael Hutchinson made 34 saves. The Jets were outshot 38-12 while losing in regulation for only the second time in their last seven games.

The Bruins dominated play for most of the opening period and a half, but held just a 1-0 lead despite a 20-4 advantage in shots on goal until Marchand made it 2-0 at 11:37 of the second.

The winger collected a loose puck along the left boards near the Jets blue line, broke in alone and shifted around Hutchinson before tucking a backhander into the net.

With the Bruins on a two-man advantage, Bergeron one-timed David Krejci’s pass from the left circle, with the puck sneaking between Hutchinson and the near post to make it 3-0 at 17:00.

Lightning 3, Flyers 0

Philadelphia — Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 32 shots in his second consecutive shutout, leading Tampa Bay over Philadelphia.
