Bruins beat Habs in overtime

Matt Fraser scored at 1:19 of overtime to give the visiting Boston Bruins a 1-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night, tying the Eastern Conference semifinal series 2-2.

Fraser got a stick on a rebound after goalie Carey Price lost the puck in front of the net.

Game 5 is Saturday night in Boston.

Tuukka Rask made 33 saves for Boston, and Price stopped 34 shots.

Montreal outshot Boston 14-7 in the third period. The teams played their first scoreless period in regulation time in the series in a tightchecking first marked mainly by icings and missed passes.

Boston’s Carl Soderberg had the best chance in the final minute after Montreal de- fenseman P.K. Subban’s blind back pass was intercepted, but Price got a piece of it as it went off the crossbar. Another goal-less period followed as shooters misfired, particularly Montreal’s Max Pacioretty on a setup from Thomas Vanek, and both goalies held their ground. Each team went on the power play once, but even that failed to break the deadlock.

The Canadiens went on attack in the third, peppering the net and outshooting the Bruins 14-7. But the Bruins got a power play and Reilly Smith hit a goal post, only to see Brian Gionta stoned by Rask alone in front of the net.

Ducks pull to 2-1

Teemu Selanne scored the tiebreaking power-play goal late in the second period, Corey Perry got his first goal of the series, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the host Los Angeles Kings 3-2. The Ducks trail in the Western Conference series 2-1.
