Bruins flourish without Khristich
(AP) - Dave Andreychuk is making Bruins fans forget all about
Dmitri Khristich. Andreychuk scored two third-period goals to tie
the game at 3 and P.J. Axelsson scored with 1:02 remaining in
overtime to rally Boston to a 4-3 win over the Toronto Maple
Leafs on Thursday night. Andreychuk is tied with Jaromir Jagr of
Pittsburgh for the league lead with 13 goals in 17 games and is
only two shy of his total from last season. Andreychuk spoiled
the return of former Bruin Khristich, who led the team with 29
goals last year. The team decided not to re-sign Khristich after
it refused to pay a salary arbitrator's award of $2.8 million,
thus making him a free agent. Khristich signed a four-year deal
with Toronto in October. The Bruins then signed Andreychuk as a
free agent to make up for the goal-scoring they would lose with
Khristich, who scored Toronto's first goal.
