BOSTON — Brad Marchand scored with 47 seconds left in the third period to lift the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.

Patrice Bergeron scored twice for Boston and Tuukka Rask finished with 26 saves as the Bruins extended Toronto’s losing streak to five straight.

Rask got some help when teammate Torey Krug was in the crease to stop a shot by Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau, who beat Rask to a loose puck and had the Boston goalie well out of position in the final few minutes. Krug stopped the puck as Rask scrambled to get back into position with the score still tied at 2.

Marchand broke the tie with a snap shot past Jonathan Ber- nier, who finished with 42 saves.

Leo Komarov and Shawn Matthias scored for Toronto, which was 0 for 5 on the power play.

The Bruins never trailed, but also failed to hang on after taking leads of 1-0 and 2-1 on goals by Bergeron.

Bergeron scored on a breakaway just 45 seconds into the game, then struck again in the opening minute of the second period when he tipped in Zdeno Chara’s slap shot from the point.

BLUES 4, CANADIENS 3: Jori Lehtera scored 2:04 into overtime and Brian Elliott made a career-high 46 saves as St. Louis won at home.

SABRES 4, CAPITALS 1: Evander Kane had a goal and an assist, Chad Johnson stopped 33 shots, and Buffalo handed Braden Holtby his first loss in regulation since Nov. 10.

Phil Varone, Tim Schaller and Cody Franson also scored for Buffalo, which snapped a six-game home losing streak.

Buffalo chased Holtby in the second period after he gave up three goals on 16 shots, emphatically ending his run of 22 games without a loss in regulation.

BLUE JACKETS 2, AVALANCHE 1: Jack Johnson scored with 1:07 left with a shot off the skate of Avalanche forward Cody McLeod, giving Columbus a win at home.

SENATORS 5, KINGS 3: Mika Zibanejad broke a tie on a power play with 6:50 to play, and Ottawa roared back from a two-goal deficit in the third period at Los Angeles.

Bobby Ryan and Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored 26 seconds apart earlier in the third as the Senators stunned the Pacific Division leaders and All-Star goalie Jonathan Quick with three goals in just over five minutes.

RANGERS 3, FLYERS 2: Mats Zuccarello scored in a shootout and Henrik Lundqvist reached 20 wins for the 11th straight season in New York’s victory at Philadelphia.

Lundqvist made 36 saves and improved to 20-12-4. He is the only goaltender in NHL history to have 20 wins in each of his first 11 seasons and joins Martin Brodeur and Tony Esposito as the only goalies with 20 wins in 11 straight seasons.

DEVILS 2, COYOTES 0: Cory Schneider stopped 38 shots for his fourth shutout of the season, leading New Jersey to a win at Glendale, Arizona.

Reid Boucher scored early in the first period for the Devils, who won for just the second time in the last seven games.

Kyle Palmieri scored his team-leading 18th goal of the season 18 seconds into the third period.
