BOSTON -- Zdeno Chara scored with 13 seconds left in regulation after David Krejci tied it late, lifting the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday night in a game that included Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik getting taken off the ice on a stretcher.

Reilly Smith also scored for the Bruins, who haven't lost in regulation at home since late October (10-0-2).

Tuukka Rask stopped 28 shots for Boston.

Chris Kunitz and James Neal scored power-play goals for the Penguins, who had their season-high, five-game winning streak halted.

DUCKS 5, BLUES 2

ST. LOUIS -- Corey Perry scored his team-high 18th goal and rookie Frederik Andersen made 26 saves to lead Anaheim over St. Louis.

Ryan Getzlaf, Andrew Cogliano, Nick Bonino and Mark Fistric also scored for the Ducks, who had not won in regulation in their previous eight trips to St. Louis.

Getzlaf, who also added an assist, has a point in his last 13 games. He has 10 goals and 10 assists during that span. Getzlaf missed three games in November with an injury and has a point in his team's past 11 games, the longest current run in the NHL.

Anaheim scored three times in the opening 7:29 to chase Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak.

DEVILS 4, RANGERS 3, OT

NEW YORK -- Eric Gelinas scored a power-play goal 1:15 into overtime, and New Jersey shook off the tying goal in the closing seconds of regulation to beat New York.

Gelinas one-timed a shot, off a pass from Patrik Elias, from above the right circle past Henrik Lundqvist. The goal came 13 seconds after Rangers captain Ryan Callahan high-sticked Andy Greene in the mouth.

Michael Ryder put the Devils ahead 3-2 with 4:04 left in regulation, but Chris Kreider tied it on a power-play goal with 21.3 seconds left.

Martin Brodeur made 21 saves for the Devils, who have won all three meetings with the Rangers this season. New Jersey earned just its third win in nine games (3-5-1).

Travis Zajac lifted the Devils into a 2-all tie 5:58 into the third period. Cam Janssen also scored and Jaromir Jagr and Tim Sestito both had two assists one night after New Jersey recorded only 11 shots in a 3-1 home loss to Detroit.

Brad Richards and Mats Zuccarello had goals for the Rangers.

CAPITALS 5, PREDATORS 2

WASHINGTON -- Braden Holtby made 34 saves and Alex Ovechkin scored the second of three goals by Washington in the first 17 minutes of a victory that extended Nashville's losing streak to five games.

Roman Josi scored the Predators' first goal at the end of the first period and fed Eric Nystrom for their other one with 16:08 left.
