BOSTON, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- A shorthanded goal by Patrice Bergeron 3 minutes into the game Thursday ignited the Boston Bruins to a 4-1 victory over Atlanta.

Tim Thomas made 27 saves, allowed only a second-period goal to Dustin Byfuglien and remained one shy of his sixth shutout of the season. His single-season best has been five shutouts, a number he has reached each of the last three years.

Shawn Thornton scored the third and fourth goals for Boston, which had lost four of its previous five games.

Ondrej Pavelec stopped 35 shots for the Thrashers, who have dropped two in a row and four out of six.
