MONTREAL (AP) - Tuukka Rask made 36 saves for his third shutout,
Marco Sturm scored twice and the Boston Bruins ended a 10-game
losing streak with a 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday.

Boston won for the first time since a 2-1 shootout victory over
San Jose on Jan. 14 and avoided tying the longest losing streak in
franchise history set by the Bruins in their first season, 1924-25.

Rask, who recorded his fourth career shutout, made a number of
big stops in the second period when Montreal outshot Boston 15-3 .

The Bruins scored a pair of goals 2:24 apart late in the first,
including Adam McQuaid's first NHL goal and Sturm's first of two
with 3.2 seconds remaining.

Sturm scored again midway through the third.
