Boston

Charlie McAvoy and Riley Nash scored first-period goals, Tuukaa Rask made 19 saves to snap his four-game losing streak and the Boston Bruins hung on for a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night.

Torey Krug also scored and Brad Marchand assisted on the first two goals for Boston, which led 3-0 in its fifth win in six games and is 13-3 in its past 16 at home against the Lightning.

Steven Stamkos and Andrej Sustr scored for the Lightning, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 33 saves. Tampa Bay, which entered the game with the NHL's best record, lost for the third time in four games.

Canadiens 2, Senators 1: Carey Price made 25 saves for Montreal in its third straight win. Jonathan Drouin and Phillip Danault scored for Montreal. Price improved to 3-0-0 while allowing just two goals on 100 shots since he returned last week after missing 10 games with a lower body injury. Mark Stone scored for Ottawa, which has lost seven games in a row.

Ducks 3, Blues 2: Antoine Vermette scored twice and John Gibson stopped 37 shots to lead Anaheim over St. Louis. Kevin Roy also scored for the Ducks.
