His power-play goal at 5:08 of the third period gave Boston
a 4-3 lead. He assisted on David Krejci’s tally at 14:22 of the
third.
Defenseman Dennis Wideman and center Marc Savard added two
assists apiece, while goaltender Manny Fernandez yielded four goals
on 32 shots for the Bruins, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

while netminder Johan Hedberg was beaten five times on 33 shots in
the Thrashers’ third straight defeat.
