Niklas Hagman had a goal and an assist, Nik Antropov and Mike Van Ryn also scored and Vesa Toskala made 26 saves.

Boston took a 2-0 lead after one period on goals by Patrice Bergeron and Blake Wheeler, but the Bruins could not solve Toskala the rest of the way.

Boston has lost five of its last six.
