Boston — Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand each had a goal and two assists, Tuukka Rask stopped 24 shots for his first shutout this season and the Boston Bruins beat the Minnesota Wild, 4-0, on Tuesday night.

Danton Heinen and Jake DeBrusk also scored as Boston won its season-high fifth straight game. John Moore and Torey Krug had two assists apiece.

Alex Stalock finished with 23 saves for Minnesota.

The Wild, who played on Monday night in Montreal, managed just six shots in the first period and never recovered after Boston took a 2-0 lead on goals by Heinen and Marchand.

Rask earned his first shutout since blanking Tampa Bay on the road last March 17. He wasn’t tested often, but did come up with a big glove save on Eric Staal with 5:42 left in the first. After stopping 12 more shots in the second period, Rask faced only seven from the weary Wild in the third and completed his 42nd career shutout.

Heinen tipped in Moore’s shot from the point 5:23 into the game and Marchand scored from nearly the same spot on a rebound off the end boards after a shot by Bergeron with 8:31 left in the period.

DeBrusk added a power-play goal with 45 seconds left in the first, with assists going to Bergeron and Marchand.

Minnesota’s Zach Parise was called for tripping 6:05 into the second and the Bruins scored just 19 seconds into the power play when a shot by Marchand glanced off Bergeron’s skate into the net.

Bergeron was credited with the goal, while Marchand and Krug both picked up their second assist of the night.

Notes: Rask needs three wins to pass Cecil “Tiny” Thompson’s club record of 252. … Boston D Charlie McAvoy missed his sixth straight game with a lower-body injury.

Lightning 4, Blue Jackets 0

Tampa, Fla.— Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves, Brayden Point had two goals and an assist, and NHL-leading Tampa Bay beat Columbus.

Penguins 5, Panthers 1

Pittsburgh — Matt Murray stopped 36 shots to remain unbeaten since his return from a lower-body injury, Riley Sheahan and Bryan Rust scored short-handed goals in the second period and Pittsburgh stopped Florida.

Capitals 5, Flyers 3

Washington — Jakub Vrana scored twice to set a career high in goals and added an assist to help the Capitals beat Philadelphia and hand their division rivals their eighth consecutive loss.
