Monday’s games

Bruins 4, Devils 2

BOSTON

Seth Griffith scored a highlight-reel goal to break a second-period tie, and Reilly Smith added another just 80 seconds later to lead Boston. It was the fifth straight victory for the Bruins. Griffith split two Devils as he crossed the blue line and, when New Jersey defenseman Marek Zidlicky spun him around, he slapped the puck backward between his own legs and the legs of goalie Cory Schneider.

Hurricanes 4, Flames 1.

RALEIGH, N.C.

Justin Faulk had a goal and two assists and Jeff Skinner scored his 100th career goal for Carolina. David Jones gave the Flames a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 13:07 of the first period. Zach Boychuk tied it with 2:30 left in the first period for the Hurricanes, who won for the fifth time in six games since starting the season 0-6-2. Boychuk’s shot went off Jonas Hiller’s mask and into the net. Faulk scored a power-play goal at 4:50 of the second period, four seconds after Devin Setoguchi went off for holding the stick. Faulk scored from the slot. Skinner’s goal gave the Hurricanes a 3-1 lead at 12:15 of the second. Carolina goalie Cam Ward finished with 22 saves to win his fifth straight decision.
