rally to foil return of Khristich The
Boston Bruins let Dmitri Khristich score the first goal of the game in his
return to the Fleet Center. But Toronto
couldn't hold on to a two-goal lead as the Bruins posted a 4-3
overtime win. P.J. Axelsson beat Khristich to a puck and scored past
Curtis Joseph 3:58 into overtime. Dave Andreychuk's pair of third-period
goals gave him a league-high 13 for the year, two less than he scored all
of last season. The Maple Leafs still moved a point closer to Ottawa, a
surprise 2-1 loser to Nashville.
