AROUND THE NHL Thursday's other games

Bruins 2, Maple Leafs 1
BOSTON -- Hannu Toivonen made 36 saves, and the Bruins earned their first Northeast Division victory of the season by beating Toronto. Boston, which had been 0-5-1 in its division, won for just the second time in seven games. Eric Lindros cut the deficit to 2-1 with 2:37 left when he scored his eighth goal, jamming the puck past Toivonen. Toivonen -- making his third NHL start -- snapped the Bruins' six-game streak of allowing at least three goals. Jiri Slegr's power-play goal gave Boston a 1-0 lead with 5:09 remaining in the first period. Sergei Samsonov scored the eventual winning goal 1:12 into the third period.
Flyers 5, Panthers 4, OT
PHILADELPHIA -- Peter Forsberg tied the game in the final minute of regulation and Joni Pitkanen scored early in overtime to lead the Flyers to a win over Florida. Only 49 seconds away from their second straight loss, Forsberg instead picked a perfect time to score his first goal of the season. After missing a penalty shot that could have tied it minutes earlier, Forsberg knocked one past Roberto Luongo after the Flyers pulled goalie Robert Esche. Nathan Horton, Olli Jokinen and Kristian Huselius each scored power-play goals for the Panthers. Martin Gelinas also scored and Luongo stopped 35 shots for the weary Panthers, who will practice this weekend in Kissimmee, Fla., with no home ice available because of Hurricane Wilma. Jeff Carter scored his first career goal and Simon Gagne added his eighth and ninth goals for the Flyers.
Rangers 3, Islanders 1
NEW YORK -- Jaromir Jagr assisted on a pair of first-period goals and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 31 shots to lead the Rangers over the Islanders. The Rangers killed all 11 penalties called against them, and Lundqvist made a game-saving stop on Robert Nilsson's shot with 2:19 left. Jagr set up Martin Straka for his first goal of the season at 13:22 of the first period. Fedor Tyutin scored his second goal of the season at 16:26. Chris Campoli pulled the Islanders within a goal in the second period. But they could get no closer as Blair Betts capped the scoring with his second goal of the season into an empty net at 19:29.
Red Wings 5, Blackhawks 2
DETROIT -- Manny Legace made 21 saves to become the first NHL goalie to win 10 games in a month and Mathieu Schneider scored twice for the Red Wings. Henrik Zetterberg, Kris Draper and Brendan Shanahan also scored for Detroit, which got two assists each from Pavel Datsyuk and Robert Lang and won for the 10th time in 11 games. Matt Ellison and Jaroslav Spacek scored for Chicago.
Senators 4, Canadiens 3, OT
OTTAWA -- Jason Spezza scored 2:48 into overtime to lift the Senators. Dany Heatley, who scored one of Ottawa's two power-play goals in the second period, took the puck from Montreal's Richard Zednik in the Senators zone and passed to Spezza. The Ottawa center took the puck down the ice and cut across, slipping the puck through defenseman Sheldon Souray's legs before deking goalie Jose Theodore and beating him with a backhand for his fifth goal. Theodore made a lunging glove save on Chris Neil with 2:04 left in regulation to allow the Canadiens to earn a point after Senators forward Antoine Vermette scored 3:39 into the third to tie it at 3. Montreal's Michael Ryder scored his fifth of the season in the first period and assisted on both of Mike Ribeiro's power-play goals in the second.
