Bruins top Rangers again; Ottawa beats Pittsburgh in 2OT

Brad Marchand & Milan Lucic scored in the final period after Johnny Boychuk broke a tie in the second and Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist gave up more than four goals for the first time in 152 games as the Boston Bruins defeated New York, 5-2, to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series. New York's best period was in the second when they outshot Boston 16-9. The Rangers then allowed two goals in the third. Games 3 and 4 will be played at Madison Square Garden in New York City starting this Tuesday night.




Colin Greening ended the longest game of this year's postseason with a backhander off a rebound 7:39 into the second overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins to cut their series deficit to 2-1. Daniel Alfredsson got Ottawa even 1-1 by scoring a short-handed goal with 29 seconds left in regulation, just after the Senators pulled goalie Craig Anderson for an extra skater. Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series will be in Ottawa this Wednesday night.
