Bruins stomp on Maple Leafs
Peter Schaefer had a pair of third-period goals, Marc Savard scored 19 seconds into the game and Tim Thomas stopped 34 shots to lead the host Boston Bruins to a 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.
Thomas, making his ninth straight start and his first since a 45-save effort in a 2-1 win over Buffalo Saturday, held the league's second-highest scoring team scoreless with 19 saves in the final period.
It was just the second time this season the Bruins have scored five or more goals, the other in an 8-6 win at Los Angeles on Oct. 12.
