Wild beat Bruins with 3 late goals

BOSTON - Monday night in New York, the Minnesota Wild blew third-period leads of 3-0 and 4-2 and lost to the Rangers.
Tuesday night, the Wild turned that around, rallying from a 3-1 third-period deficit to stun the Boston Bruins, 4-3.
The Wild got goals from left winger Zach Parise, right winger Justin Fontaine and defenseman Marco Scorabella - Scorabella scored his second goal of the season from the left point with 5:53 left.
The win, raising the Wild’s all-time record against Boston to 12-2-1, raised their record to 5-3 on the season.
The loss dropped the Bruins to 5-6-0.
Rookie Seth Griffith, playing in his seventh NHL game, scored two goals and added an assist to lead the Bruins.
Griffith converted nifty feeds from centers David Krejci and Gregory Campbell into his second and third NHL goals. He then assisted on Milan Lucic’s power-play goal, Lucic also directing one home against goaltender Niklas Backstrom, who is 5-0-1 lifetime against the Bruins.
Right winger Nino Niederreiter scored his second goal of the season, beating Tuukka Rask for the game’s first goal.
A very-sharp Rask, under siege in an 18-shot third period, made 38 saves, while Backstrom stopped 25 shots.
Minnesota went 0-for-2 on the power play and is 0-for-26 on the season.
The Wild, who had allowed six goals in the first 20 periods before the third in New York Monday, took a 1-0 a lead at 4:51 of the first period. Defenseman Matt Bartkowski coughed the puck up to left winger Tomas Vanek, and the long-time Bruins nemesis set Niederreiter up alone in front. It was Vanek’s 63rd point in 56 career games against Boston.
Griffith took over from there.
Lucic, playing a robust physical game, threw a heavy hit before the first goal and had the second assist on the second one before scoring the third. He has six points in the last four games.
Krejci extended his points streak to seven straight games, with three goals and six assists during the streak.
The last 51-plus minutes were played the old-fashioned way, with one referee and two linesman. Referee Dave Lewis left after getting hit in the face with a puck - supervisor Bill McCreary saying Lewis had fractured his lower jaw and suffered other facial injuries that sent him to a local hospital.
