Bruins beat Canadiens, avoid 3rd straight shutout

Boston had not scored in 192 minutes, 6 seconds, dating to Vladimir Sobotka's goal at 7:02 of the third period against Edmonton on Saturday. The Bruins had not been shut out in three straight games since they scored just once over five games from Feb. 2-14, 1929.

In the 700th game between the archrivals, Carey Price stopped 42 Boston shots for his first win in more than a month.

Kings 5, Penguins 2 At Los Angeles, Jarrett Stoll scored the go-ahead goal with 7:51 to play, as Los Angeles roared from behind with a four-goal third period to beat Pittsburgh.

Jonathan Quick made 21 saves in a standout performance for the Kings, who ended the Penguins' season-opening, seven-game road winning streak.

NHL scoring leader Anze Kopitar's second goal tied it early in the third for the Kings, who improved to 6-0-2 in their last eight games for the club's longest points streak since November 2000.

Los Angeles took charge late after two frustrating periods against the defending champions. Michal Handzus scored on a rebound just 23 seconds after Stoll's one-timer on a clever pass from captain Dustin Brown.

Blue Jackets 4, Thrashers 3 At Atlanta, Raffi Torres scored two second-period goals as Columbus held off Atlanta.

The Thrashers, coming off road wins at Ottawa and Montreal, lost for the fourth time in five home games.

The Blue Jackets took a 2-0 lead in the first period when Jakub Voracek and Derick Brassard each had a goal and an assist, and Columbus never trailed.

Pavel Kubina's power-play goal 2:06 into the third period cut Atlanta's deficit to 4-3. Bryan Little and Tobias Enstrom scored in the second. Enstrom's goal was his first this season.

Red Wings 2, Sharks 1, SO At Detroit, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg scored in the shootout as Detroit snapped San Jose's six-game winning streak.

Zetterberg also had a goal in regulation, and Chris Osgood made 33 saves for Detroit.

Logan Couture scored his first NHL goal for San Jose. Evgeni Nabokov stopped 35 shots.

Canucks 5, Wild 2 At St. Paul, Minnesota, Darcy Hordichuk and newly signed Matt Pettinger each scored their first goals of the season, forming an unlikely pair to lead short-handed Vancouver past Minnesota.

Hordichuk scored his first goal in 50 games. Pettinger was signed off the street on Monday to bolster a depleted roster.

Mason Raymond and Henrik Sedin also scored for the Canucks, who have won three in a row despite missing seven players with injuries. Alex Burrows added an empty-net goal.

Kyle Brodziak scored twice for the Wild. Niklas Backstrom gave up four goals on 17 shots and was pulled by new Wild coach Todd Richards for the first time.
