BOSTON -- David Krejci thought there were a few seconds left before overtime. http://www.hockeyflamesfanshop.com/Lanny...ld-Jersey/ . He was surprised when he saw how close it was. Krejci tipped in a shot with eight-tenths of a second left in the third period to lift the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 win over San Jose on Thursday night, sending the Sharks to their first regulation loss of the season. "Actually I thought there might be more than 10 seconds, maybe 15, 20 seconds left," he said, breaking into a smile. "Then we scored it Luc (Milan Lucic) said Look up. I looked up and it was .8. It was even sweeter." Jarome Iginla scored his first goal with the Bruins (7-2) and goaltender Tuukka Rask was outstanding, making 38 saves. "I was pretty excited to get my first in a Bruins uniform and to get it at home, get it in a tough game, and to get it unexpectedly," Iginla said. "Its kind of like you throw it at the net and Wow. That was cool. Its been a while. You always hope its coming." The Sharks dominated the Bruins for most of the night until Krejci sent the fans to the streets happy, looking to watch the end of the Red Sox World Series game about 3 miles away. Patrick Marleau had San Joses goal, his eighth of the season. Antti Niemi stopped 15 shots. Krejci, positioned in the slot, tipped defenceman Adam McQuaids shot from the point between Niemis pads for the game-winner. "There was a guy in front, so I thought just to watch the puck and I thought I had it, but he tipped it kind of back the same way where I was coming from," Niemi said. "Yeah, tough way to lose with just a little bit left in the game." The Sharks (8-1-1) tied the game at 1-all on the opening shift of the third period when Marleau swooped in from the left wing, slipping a rebound past Rask 18 seconds into the period. Seconds later, Rask came across the crease and made a blocker save on Tomas Hertl at the end of a 2-on-1 break. The Sharks kept up the pressure with a flurry of shots over the next 2 1/2 minutes. "I looked up at the clock and was happy there was .8 ," Boston coach Claude Julien said. The Bruins had an excellent chance with 2 1/2 minutes left in regulation when Niemi dropped to make a pad save on Krejcis bid from in close. Rasks play kept Boston in this game. "Their goalie played well tonight and made a lot of key saves for them," Marleau said. Iginla had given Boston a 1-0 lead with 1:12 left in the second when he collected the rebound of Dennis Seidenbergs shot near the bottom of the right circle, firing a shot that trickled into the net after hitting Niemis right pad and slipping between his legs. Signed to a one-year free-agent deal that could earn him as much as $6 million with incentives, Iginla had a big smile on his face as he went over to the bench to accept congratulations from his teammates. The 36-year old winger vetoed a trade that would have sent him to the Bruins when they had a deal in place at last seasons trading deadline. He ended up accepting a deal to Pittsburgh, which was swept in the Eastern Conference finals by Boston last spring. Niemi had robbed Patrice Bergeron about 2 minutes before Iginlas goal when he came across the crease to make a glove stop at the end of a 2-on-1 break. Bruins winger Shawn Thornton unloaded a slap shot that caromed off the left post 3 minutes into the second. The Bruins played the first period like many of their fans from the slimmed-down crowd -- like they had something else on their minds. With the Red Sox hosting Game 2 of the at Fenway Park, there were a decent number of empty seats despite the clubs 170th straight sellout of TD Garden. The arena, which was less than a third full about 10 minutes before game time, ended up being only about three-quarters filled, with many open seats in the club and lower sections. San Jose outshot Boston 16-3 in the opening period -- at times, controlling the puck for lengthy stretches in the Bruins zone. NOTES: Bostons GM Peter Chiarelli said in a statement before the game that winger Loui Eriksson was "diagnosed with a concussion and will be out indefinitely" after a hit on Wednesday from Buffalos enforcer John Scott, who was issued a match penalty for charging. Scott was suspended indefinitely by the NHL on Thursday. It ended Erikssons streak of consecutive games played at 148. ... It was the Sharks second game of a season-long five-game road trip. They also play at Montreal, Ottawa and the Los Angeles Kings before returning home to face Phoenix on Nov. 2. ... Boston defenceman Dougie Hamilton faced his brother, Freddie, a centre with the Sharks. http://www.hockeyflamesfanshop.com/Mikae...nd-Jersey/ .

How can you explain the Philadelphia Eagles battling for an NFC East title and losing to Minnesota when Minnesota does not have either of its starting running backs? How can Dallas, who can only get into the playoffs but end up being dominated in the second half by Green Bay.After ending a four-game losing streak in their last game, the Toronto Maple Leafs will shoot for a rare win in Boston when they visit the Bruins for tonights Atlantic Division clash at TD Garden. Toronto ended an 0-4-0 skid with Sundays shootout win over visiting New Jersey, but the club could have a difficult time making it two victories in a row tonight. The Maple Leafs have dropped three straight and 11 of the last 12 regular- season meetings against Boston overall and the Bruins have claimed six straight in Beantown. Of course, last springs opening-round playoff loss against the Bruins is not a source of confidence for the Maple Leafs either. Toronto pushed Boston to seven games last May and held a 4-1 third-period lead in Game 7 before coming apart at the seams. The Bruins scored three times in the final 10 minutes of regulation to send the decisive game into overtime and then won it 5-4 on a Patrice Bergeron goal in the extra session. Boston is 2-0 since that classic Game 7 battle, taking a 3-1 decision at home on Nov. 9 before notching a 5-2 decision in Toronto on Dec. 8. Despite its recent failures against the Bruins, Toronto will try to build off Sundays win over the visiting Devils when it visits TD Garden tonight. James van Riemsdyk scored the lone goal of the shootout to help Toronto get back in the win column for the first time since beating Detroit in the Winter Classic on Jan. 1. Van Riemsdyk opened the shootout with a nifty backhander past Cory Schneider before Jonathan Bernier turned aside all three New Jersey shooters to give Toronto the extra point. Van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak each lit the lamp in reegulation, while Bernier stopped 36 shots to help snap Torontos slide. http://www.hockeyflamesfanshop.com/Johnn...u-Jersey/. "We needed this bad," Bernier said. "We found a way. If thats what it takes to go into a shootout and get points and move on like this, it feels good for the confidence." Bernier will get the start tonight and hell be looking for his first career win against Boston. He is 0-2-0 with a 5.67 goals against average versus the Bs and was in net for Torontos 5-2 loss to Boston on Dec. 8. Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask, meanwhile, has stellar career numbers against the Leafs, going 9-1-0 with a 1.41 GAA in 10 starts. Rask is coming off his league-leading fifth shutout of the season, as he stopped all 26 shots in Saturdays 1-0 win in San Jose. Carl Soderberg scored the only goal of the game for the Bruins, who finished a three-game California trip with a mark of 1-2-0. Soderbergs goal came at 12:25 of the third period and it wasnt exactly one for the highlight reel. Loui Eriksson fired a shot on net from the right wing that was blocked by a defender before it got to the net. The puck, though, dribbled down to the left side where Soderberg slammed it in for his sixth of the year. "A goals a goal in this league," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "You get some tough ones that go against you so every once in a while its good to have some go for you. Thats the breaks of the game, and sometimes you have to make them yourself." Boston is home for just one game before playing two straight and four of its next five away from TD Garden. The Bruins are 18-4-2 as the host compared to an 11-10-0 mark on the road.
