NHL ROUNDUP Saturday's games
Bruins 3, Flyers 2, OT
BOSTON -- Glen Murray scored 1:21 into overtime and Andrew Raycroft tied the most wins by a Boston rookie goaltender in 22 years.
Boston, which began the day in a three-way race with Ottawa and Toronto for first place in the NHL's Northeast Division, is 9-1-3-3 in its last 16 games.
Raycroft stopped 26 shots and posted his 22nd win of the season, matching Marco Baron's mark set during the 1981-82 season.
Philadelphia, which leads the Atlantic, has dropped four of its last seven games.
Murray took a loose puck in the Flyers' zone and scored an unassisted goal when he fired a wrist shot from the slot that broke in off netminder Robert Esche.
Ted Donato and Andy Hilbert also scored for the Bruins.
Alexei Zhamnov and Mark Recchi had the Flyers' goals.
Esche, starting for the first time since Feb. 2 after missing 10 with a sprained left knee, made 29 saves.
Boston took a 2-1 lead 14 seconds into the third period when Esche lost the rebound of Dan McGillis' shot from the point, and Donato poked the puck into the net.
Philadelphia tied it at 2 on Zhamnov's rising shot from between the circles that beat Raycroft into the top right corner 8:45 into the third period.
The Flyers had jumped ahead 1-0 on Recchi's power-play goal 17:47 into the opening period. Three seconds after a two-man advantage expired, Recchi one-timed Kim Johnsson past Raycroft inside the left post.
Boston tied at 1-all when Hilbert scored on the rebound of Craig MacDonald's shot.
Predators 2, Rangers 1, OT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Andrew Hutchinson scored a power-play goal 3:50 into overtime, and Nashville beat the New York Rangers for its fifth win in six games.
Matthew Barnaby tied it at 1 in the third period for the Rangers. Nashville outshot New York 43-26.
Steve Sullivan had an assist, his 12th point in six games being acquired by Nashville. Andreas Johansson scored an unassisted goal in the second period.
Kings 2, Mighty Ducks 1
LOS ANGELES -- Luc Robitaille had a goal and an assist, and Derek Armstrong had two assists to lead Los Angeles. Rookie defenseman Tomas Zizka also scored and Cristobal Huet made 29 saves for the Kings, 26-21-11 against the Ducks and 3-0-1 in the last four meetings. The Kings broke through at 14:46 of the first period. Robitaille outraced Samuel Pahlsson to a loose puck behind the Anaheim net, and took a short shot that hit the outside mesh before Zizka poked his second goal of the season off goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere's leg. Robitaille made it 2-0 at 8:21 of the second with his 17th goal, snapping a slap shot over Giguere's glove from the slot after Armstrong fed him from behind the net. Anaheim rookie Joffrey Lupul scored his 12th goal less than 1 1/2 minutes later on a wrist shot from the left circle.
