BOSTON -- Seth Griffith scored a highlight-reel goal to break a second-period tie, and Reilly Smith added another 80 seconds later Monday night to lead the Boston Bruins to a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils.
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.
Smith made it 4-2 with 39 seconds left in the second period. Patrice Bergeron had a goal and two assists.
Tuukka Rask stopped 26 shots for Boston.
Schneider made 19 saves for the Devils, who lost their fourth consecutive game.
