Maple Leafs rally past Bruins

Darcy Tucker scored his second goal of the game 3 minutes, 39 seconds into overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday in Toronto.

Tucker charged hard to the goal and tipped Alex Steen’s pass by Tim Thomas.

Dominic Moore and Nik Antropov also scored for Toronto. Dennis Wideman, Glen Murray and Zdeno Chara replied for the Bruins.

Tucker converted a cross-crease pass from Mats Sundin at 14:18 of the final period during a 5-on-3 power play to tie it at 2.

Less than 2 minutes later, Tucker fooled Thomas by skating behind the goal but leaving the puck for Antropov, who scored his 20th of the season at 16:09.

The victory lifted the Leafs out of the Eastern Conference basement, but they’re still nine points back of Boston for the last playoff spot.
