PHILADELPHIA -- Joni Pitkanen scored the tying goal with 23.4 seconds remaining and added the winner 1:55 into overtime.

Sergei Samsonov, Shawn McEachern and Joe Thornton scored for the Bruins, who haven't lost in regulation in nine games since Oct. 20. With goalie Robert Esche on the bench and an extra skater on the ice, Pitkanen took a long pass from Peter Forsberg, streaked down the left side and wristed a shot into the far corner under the crossbar to tie it at 3.
