BOSTON (AP) - Tim Thomas stopped 27 shots for his second shutout of the season, and Sidney Crosby was held without a point for the fifth straight game as the Boston Bruins beat the Pittsburgh
Penguins 3-0 on Tuesday night.

Matt Hunwick backhanded a rebound under the crossbar, then had
to wait 77 seconds for a whistle so NHL officials could consult a
video replay and give Boston the goal.

Mark Recchi had the 900th assist of his career, Daniel Paille had his first goal with the Bruins, and Patrice Bergeron added a short-handed empty-netter with 3.5 seconds left as Boston won back-to-back games for the first time all season.

Thomas recorded his 14th shutout - passing Andy Moog for 10th on
the Bruins' career list - while handing Pittsburgh its second
straight shutout.
