[November 11, 2016] The Sports Xchange

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins scored four goals in a span of 4:01 in the first period and cruised to a 5-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night.

Trailing 1-0, Torey Krug, Matt Beleskey, Austin Czarnik and Tim Schaller all scored, knocking Sergei Bobrovsky from the net. David Backes scored in the second period.

Tuukka Rask, beaten early by a Nick Foligno goal, stopped just 15 shots (two saves in the third period) and raised his season record to 8-1. He allowed a goal with 11:20 left in the game when the Bruins won a defensive zone faceoff and defenseman Colin Miller had the puck roll off his stick, by Rask and into the net -- the goal credited to Sam Gagner, his fourth of the season.

Ducks 4, Hurricanes 2

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Jakob Silfverberg scored goals 3:07 apart in the middle of the second period as Anaheim defeated Carolina at PNC Arena.

Silfverberg also assisted on Ryan Kesler's fifth of the season 4:46 into the second as well as his empty-netter late as the Ducks broke open a scoreless first period with three goals in a span of 7:50 in the second.

Wild 4, Penguins 2

PITTSBURGH -- Eric Staal scored early in the third period, Devan Dubnyk turned aside 39 shots and Minnesota dealt Pittsburgh its first loss at home in regulation this season.
