Bruins 6, Blackhawks 2

Patrice Bergeron opened the scoring with his 200th goal, then added two assists in Boston's four-goal second period and the Bruins snapped a season-high six-game losing streak with a rout of Chicago on Sunday.

Reilly Smith had a goal and assist for the Bruins, who were 0-4-2 during the slide, their longest winless stretch since 2010. Loui Eriksson, Milan Lucic, Gregory Campbell and Dougie Hamilton also scored for Boston, which pulled away in the finale of five-game road trip.

Jonathan Toews and Bryan Bickell scored for the Blackhawks, who have lost three straight (0-2-1) for the first time since last March. The six goals against Chicago matched a season high and the four against the Blackhawks in the second set a season mark for a period.

Boston's Tuukka Rask made 26 saves and coasted to the win, despite taking two penalties late in the first period.

Chicago starting goalie Corey Crawford was pulled midway through the second after allowing four goals on 14 shots. Antti Raanta finished and stopped 14 of 16 shots.

The Blackhawks played most of the game with just five defensemen after Johnny Oduya left the game in the first period after being hit along the boards by Lucic.

Bergeron opened the scoring 3:00 in from the edge of the crease when he tapped in Smith's cross-ice feed. Smith had a hard time controlling a pass from Brad Marchand, but spun and flipped a perfect pass in front in one motion.

Eriksson made it 2-0 during a power play at 14:03 of the first on a tip-in of Torey Krug's drive from the left circle.

But Rask got himself and the Bruins in trouble briefly as the period ended.

The Boston goalie was assessed a delay of game penalty when he ventured outside the trapezoid area behind the net to play the puck with 8 seconds left in the first.

Toews' power-play tip-in directly from the ensuing faceoff - with 1.4 seconds left in the period - cut it to 2-1.

When Rask smashed his goal stick in anger against the left post, he also clipped Chicago's Kris Versteeg. The goalie was whistled for slashing on the play, but the Bruins killed off the penalty.

Boston took charge of the game in the second, connecting four times against listless Chicago.

Lucic gave Boston a 3-1 lead at 6:18. He had difficulty controlling David Pastrnak's centering pass, but Lucic kept plowing through traffic down the slot and eventually muscled the puck past Crawford.

Campbell made it 4-1 at 12:19 of the second on a shot through traffic from about 30 feet in the slot. Raanta took over in net after the score.

Hamilton increased Boston's lead to 5-1 from the faceoff with 2:33 left in the period when his drive clanked in off the right post for a power-play score. Smith then beat Raanta from the right circle with 3.1 seconds left in the period.

Bickell had the only goal in the third, a tip-in with 5:42 left, to complete the scoring.

Rangers 4, Blue Jackets 3

Martin St. Louis scored two goals and added one in the shootout, and the New York Rangers blew a three-goal lead but won for the ninth time in 12 games by beating Columbus in a shootout.

St. Louis scored in the first and second periods as he appears to have broken out of his slump. After going 15 games without a goal, the veteran forward has four goals and two assists in the past four games.

Kevin Hayes added a goal in the first, Derek Stepan had two assists, and Cam Talbot made 27 saves for the Rangers, 9-1-2 in their past 12. St. Louis scored in the first round of the shootout, and Rick Nash had a third-round goal. Talbot then poked the puck away from Cam Atkinson to seal it.

The Rangers are only two points behind the Metropolitan Division-leading New York Islanders.

Defenseman David Savard forced overtime by scoring the tying goal with 4:19 left in regulation. Marko Dano and Artem Anisimov had second-period goals for Columbus, which went 2-2-1 on a five-game trip. Curtis McElhinney stopped 34 shots through overtime.

Columbus fell behind 3-0 just 1:24 into the second period on St. Louis' second of the game, but needed only 53 seconds more to begin its comeback.

St. Louis slammed in a pass from defenseman Ryan McDonagh at the right post for his 18th goal. The Blue Jackets then got within 3-1 when Dano netted his second of the season and first in four games since returning from the minor leagues.

Columbus made it a one-goal game with 1:49 left in the second as Anisimov jammed the puck inside the right post during a goal-mouth scramble. His fourth of the season was upheld by video review. Anisimov, who scored in each of the first two games this season, has two goals in the past six games.

Talbot, who had started eight straight games in place of injured No. 1 goalie Henrik Lundqvist before getting a rest in New York's 3-1 win at Buffalo on Friday, was tested early. He denied Anisimov, after the former Rangers forward got behind the defense and was alone in front 2:15 in, and then stopped a deflected drive by Alexander Wennberg just under a minute later during a power play.

The Rangers then jumped out to a 2-0 lead.

Hayes got it started with help from Carl Hagelin, who made a strong play to keep the puck in at the blue line. Hagelin chipped it to Hayes, who wristed in a rising shot from the high slot at 5:57 for his 11th goal.

St. Louis doubled the lead at 8:06 when he was left alone at the left post. Stepan carried the puck behind the Columbus net and found his linemate unguarded for a stuff shot.

Canucks 4, Islanders 0

Eddie Lack made 27 saves in relief of an injured Ryan Miller and Vancouver beat the New York Islanders.

Zack Kassian, Radim Vrbata and Bo Horvat scored in the second period for Vancouver, which kept pace in the tight Western Conference playoff race.

The 34-year-old Miller, in his first season with the Canucks, left with an apparent leg injury early in the second after he was run into by teammate Jannik Hansen in the crease. Miller stayed down and was in pain after the collision and appeared to flex his right leg as he left the ice.

Lack replaced him at 1:11 of the middle period after Miller made 10 saves.

Vancouver opened its five-game trip with a shootout win over the Rangers on Thursday followed by a 4-2 loss at New Jersey on Friday. The Canucks continue with visits to Boston and Buffalo, where Miller played 11 seasons for Buffalo before he was traded to St. Louis late last season.

Kassian opened the scoring for the Canucks on the power play 28 seconds into the second period with his eighth of the season and third goal in two games.

The puck hit the post behind Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak before bouncing off him and into the net.

Vrbata made it 2-0 on the man advantage at 9:53, his team-leading 22nd goal for the Canucks. The goal was assisted by brothers Henrik and Daniel Sedin.

Henrik Sedin, who leads the team with 54 points including 42 assists, has 14 points in his past 11 games against the Islanders.

Horvat, a rookie, made it 3-0 for the Canucks at 13:55 with his ninth goal of the season.

A first-round pick by the Canucks in 2013, the 19-year-old Horvat has 10 points in his past 13 games. Weber scored an empty-net goal with 10.2 seconds remaining.
