BOSTON (AP) — Brad Marchand and Joakim Nordstrom scored in a 36-second span in the second period and Jaroslav Halak stopped 25 shots to help the Boston Bruins beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 on Thursday night.
David Pastrnak had his fourth goal of the season, and Patrice Bergeron added an empty-netter in the final minute. Connor McDavid scored his first goal of the season for the Oilers, and Cam Talbot had 28 saves.
The Oilers were playing only their second game of the season after falling 5-2 to New Jersey on Saturday in Sweden.
Edmonton struck first when McDavid got in alone on Halak and beat him 3:43 into the game.
