Quick Tops Thomas In Kings' 4-3 SO Win Over Bruins
BOSTON (AP) -- Michal Handzus scored in the sixth round of the shootout and Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick made 38 saves through overtime to beat Tim Thomas and lift the Kings to a 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.
Quick (11-2), who along with Thomas won a silver medal with the U.S. team at this year's Vancouver Olympics, helped the Kings snap a season-high, three-game losing streak.
Thomas (10-2) made 23 saves before the shootout, but the Bruins' three-game winning streak was broken.
Handzus, who also scored in regulation, beat Thomas with a wrist shot on the stick side. Jarett Stoll had his 100th career goal for the Kings, and Brad Richardson also scored.
Patrice Bergeron's power-play goal for Boston with 6:16 to play sent the game to overtime. It was the fourth straight game between the teams that needed extra time. Blake Wheeler and Gregory Campbell added goals for the Bruins in the second period.
