Bruins top Devils, 2-1, in shootout

Brad Marchand scored the decisive shootout goal after teammate Nathan Horton forced overtime late in the third period and the Boston Bruins rallied for a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.

Boston's Tyler Seguin and New Jersey's Ilya Kovalchuk scored on their teams' first shot during the shootout. Then both teams failed on their next four.

But Marchand put the puck between goalie Johan Hedberg's pads and the Bruins won when Marek Zidlicky's shot hit Tuukka Rask's left pad.

Toronto's Matt Frattin scored his second goal of the game with 1.5 seconds left in overtime to lift the visiting Maple Leafs to a 4-3 victory over the Sabres.

Casey Cizikas, Michael Grabner, Matt Moulson, and John Tavares all scored as the New York Islanders beat the host Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-1.

Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, who stopped 21 shots, including all three Vancouver shootout attempts, in a 3-2 comeback win over the Canucks on Monday: "Any time you get two points, you get a little boost of confidence, but it's only good for tonight. It's a playoff race right now, and every point is huge."
