Brad Marchand had two goals and an assist for the visiting Boston Bruins in a 3-1 win against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night.
Patrice Bergeron also scored, and Jeremy Swayman made 15 saves for the Bruins, who have won four in a row.
Swayman improved to 4-0-1 in his past five starts.
Timo Meier scored, and James Reimer made 34 saves in his 11th consecutive start for San Jose, which is 1-4-4 in its past nine games.
Boston moved ahead 2-1 at 3:18 of the third period.
The third power play of the game for the Bruins had just expired, but they kept the puck in the San Jose zone and Taylor Hall sent a pass to Marchand for a one-timer from the bottom of the right circle, his 23rd goal of the season.
Bergeron scored with 40 seconds left and Reimer still in net to make it 3-1.
Erik Haula was given a four-minute high-sticking penalty on Tomas Hertl just 1:44 into the game, but the Sharks could generate just two shots on goal during the man-advantage.
Marchand, playing in his second game since serving a six-game suspension for high sticking and punching Pittsburgh goalie Tristan Jarry on Feb. 8, gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 14:24 of the first period.
Marchand broke off on a 2-on-1 with Jake DeBrusk and then beat Reimer with a one-timer off the pass. DeBrusk has four goals and an assist in a four-game point streak.
San Jose defenseman Mario Ferraro suffered a leg injury when he crashed into the boards at 12:03 of the second period. Hall was given an interference penalty and Ferraro did not return.
Meier scored on the ensuing man-advantage to tie the score 1-1 at 12:50.
Meier was near the right faceoff dot when he took a pass from Brent Burns and scored on the one-timer for his 24th goal of the season.
