Bruins win 10th in row, but 'for us, it's the Stanley Cup'

BOSTON — Linus Ullmark made 24 saves, helping the NHL-leading Boston Bruins past Patrick Kane and the new-look New York Rangers 4-2 on Saturday.

Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, Charlie Coyle and Tomas Nosek scored, and new addition Tyler Bertuzzi had an assist in his debut as the Bruins cruised to their 10th straight win. Boston improved to 26-2-3 at home and increased its season total to 103 points.

The goal was Pastrnak's 44th on the season, and came two days after Boston announced his contract extension. Bergeron's goal was his 23rd.

Playing his first game since posting a club-record 54 saves in an overtime win at Calgary on Tuesday, Ullmark increased his record to 32-4-1.

Alexis Lafreniere scored both goals for New York, and Igor Shesterkin stopped 20 shots, but the Rangers have lost six of eight and Kane, reunited with his former Chicago Blackhawks teammate Artemi Panarin on the same line, is struggling.

Kane, acquired in a trade with Chicago on Tuesday, is scoreless and a minus-4 in two games with the Rangers, and the team is 0-2.

«There was a lot of good, but there was some bad, too,» said New York coach Gerard Gallant, who agreed that Panarin and Kane are trying to do too much in their first week back together. «They're trying to force the play too much down the middle, and there's too many turnovers. Like I said, there's chemistry there, but you've got to make sure we're making strong plays.»

Boston forward Brad Marchand returned to the lineup after missing the last half of Thursday's victory with a lower-body injury.
