BOSTON — Chris Kelly broke a 1-all tie with 5:27 left and Brad Marchand added an empty-netter for his second goal of the game Saturday night as the Boston Bruins beat the Los Angeles Kings, 3-1.

Tuukka Rask stopped 30 shots for the Bruins.

Jordan Nolan scored for the Kings, breaking up Rask’s shutout bid on a soft wrist shot with seven minutes left. It was the second goal of the season and made it 1-1, but the tie didn’t last long.

Kelly put Boston back on top 1:33 later when he tipped in Carl Soderberg’s shot. The puck was in and out of the net too quickly for the officials to see, and wasn’t ruled a goal until a review confirmed it.

Marchand, who broke the scoreless tie on a goal with 3:40 left in the second period, added his 15th of the season with 17 seconds left. Marchand directed a backhand toward the empty net and the puck slowly drifted in.

Jonathan Quick finished with 30 saves for the Kings.

Marchand beat Quick on a wrist shot from just inside the blue line on a drop pass from Zdeno Chara. It was Boston’s first goal against the Kings since Marchand scored 8:53 into the third period of a game on Jan. 20, 2014.

Tyler Toffoli just missed tying it about 2:20 into the third on a shot that bounced off the post with a loud clang.

The Kings finally scored with seven minutes left on a wrist shot by Nolan that deflected off a Boston player.
