Flyers Shut Out Suddenly Listless Rangers

Flyers shut out suddenly listless Rangers Wayne Simmonds had two goals and an assist, Steve Mason made 24 saves and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the New York Rangers 3-0 Saturday. Reserve goaltender Michal Neuvirth has Philadelphia’s other three shutouts. Simmonds added an empty-netter in the final minute. With less than four minutes left and their modest winning streak in jeopardy, the Boston Bruins pulled off a comeback that would have seemed improbable a few weeks ago. Ryan Spooner and David Krejci scored 2:03 apart late in the third period and the Bruins rallied to beat the visiting Rangers 4-3. After limping through an inconsistent start to the season, the Bruins extended their winning streak to five games by beating one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Spooner’s power-play goal with 3:46 left to play tied it 3-3, then Krejci struck again on a deflected slap shot that beat Henrik Lundqvist with 1:43 remaining. The Rangers have lost back-to-back games in regulation for just the second time this season. Crosby was slow getting to his skates and went to the locker room, but returned for the third period. Artem Anisimov scored 1:53 into overtime for visiting Chicago, which sent the game to overtime when Marian Hossa and Duncan Keith scored in the final 1:41 of regulation. Jason Chimera had a goal and an assist as host Washington snapped Tampa Bay’s three-game win streak. Chad Johnson stopped 27 shots for host Buffalo, which ended a six-game losing streak. Red Wings 4, Oilers 3: Tyler Seguin scored on the first shot of the shootout and Antti Niemi stopped all three Vancouver attempts after making 34 saves in regulation and overtime for host Dallas. Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored with 39 seconds left in OT as host Arizona gave coach Dave Tippett his 500th career victory. Dustin Byfuglien had a goal and assist, Connor Hellebuyck made 14 saves to win his NHL debut and visiting Winnipeg spoiled Minnesota wing Zach Parise’s return from a knee injury.
