Bruins even series at one; Kings stun Ducks in OT

The Boston Bruins rallied from two goals down to avoid another two-game deficit against the archrival Montreal Canadiens when Reilly Smith scored the go-ahead goal with 3:32 left as Boston scored four times in eight minutes to beat the Canadiens, 5-3, to even the Eastern Conference semifinals at one game apiece.

Games 3 and 4 are on Tuesday and Thursday in Montreal, where in 2011, Boston won twice in their first-round series after losing the first two at home.




After waiting 20 years to meet in the playoffs for the first time ever, the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks provided an overtime thriller in the opening tussle for Southern California supremacy as Marian Gaborik scored with seven seconds left in regulation to force overtime and then scored 12:07 into the extra period to lift the Kings to a 3-2 victory.

The "Freeway Series" will continue this Monday night when the Ducks & Kings face off in Game 2 at the Honda Center.
