Bergeron, Bruins win in shootout

Patrice Bergeron showed why he’s more than just an offensive forward.

Bergeron helped kill off a large portion of short-handed time in overtime before he finished off his day with a goal in the shootout, leading the Bruins to a 2-1 win over the Jets yesterday in Boston.

Tyler Seguin scored the other shootout goal and Brad Marchand had the regulation goal for the Bruins (2-0).

Boston was short-handed for 2 minutes, 17 seconds of overtime after playing the final 71 seconds of regulation short-handed.

Blues 4, Predators 3 (SO)

In Nashville, Tenn., T.J. Oshie and Alexander Steen scored in the shootout, and the Blues edged the Predators.

St. Louis won the Central Division last season, but the Predators won the season series 4-1-1 with three of those games going to a shootout.

Sabres 2, Maple Leafs 1

In Toronto, Ryan Miller stopped 34 shots to lead the Sabres past the Maple Leafs.

Miller lost his shutout bid when Nazem Kadri scored on the power play with 1:42 remaining, his second goal of the season.

Red Wings 4, Blue Jackets 3 (SO)

In Columbus, Ohio, Swiss rookie Damien Brunner scored in the fourth round of the shootout to lead the Red Wings past the Blue Jackets before 19,206, the largest regular-season crowd at Nationwide Arena in the Blue Jackets’ 11-plus seasons.

Brian Lashoff scored in his NHL debut and fellow defenseman Ian White also scored for Detroit.

Senators 4, Panthers 0

In Ottawa, Kyle Turris scored twice and Craig Anderson made 31 saves as Senators blanked the Panthers in their home opener.

Anderson, making his second straight start to open the season, picked up his 20th career shutout.

Ducks 5, Flames 4

In Calgary, Daniel Winnik and Ryan Getzlaf each scored two goals for Anaheim.
