Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Brad Marchand's sixth-round shootout goal lifted
the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday at TD
Garden.
After both teams scored on their first attempts in the shootout, the next
eight shooters came up empty before Marchand charged in and fired a wrister
that slipped through the five-hole of New Jersey goaltender Johan Hedburg.
Marek Zidlicky had a chance to send the shootout to a seventh round, but
Tuukka Rask, who finished with 25 stops, made a nice glove save on the
defenseman's wrister to secure Boston's third straight victory.
Nathan Horton scored the game-tying goal with just over four minutes left in
regulation for the Bruins, who have opened a season with points in their first
six games for the first time since 1970-71 when they started 5-0-1.
David Clarkson registered the lone New Jersey goal, while Hedburg, making his
first start of the season, turned away 27 shots for the Devils, who have
recorded a point in every game this season despite dropping their second
straight contest.
