Stars Beat Bruins

{fshare id=4490}

BOSTON — Former Boston centers Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley, traded to Dallas during the offseason, both scored in a shootout to give the Stars a 3-2 victory over the Bruins on Tuesday night.

The Stars tied the game on Vernon Fiddler’s penalty-shot goal with 2:34 remaining. Then, after a scoreless five minutes of overtime, Seguin and Peverley, who won a Stanley Cup with the Bruins in 2011, beat goaltender Tuukka Rask on second and fourth shots of the four-round shootout.

At the other end, Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen turned aside 3 of 4 Bruins attempts, with only center Patrice Bergeron scoring.

The loss was the Bruins fourth in their last five games.

Bruins Left winger Milan Lucic put the Bruins ahead 2-1 with a tip-in with 8:21 left in the third period with his team-leading seventh goal of the season. Fiddler, who had been roughed up by the home team throughout the night, broke through the defense and was hooked by defenseman Dennis Seidenberg for the penalty shot. He converted, beating Rask with a backhand shot after

a nifty move.

It was the first game between the teams since they made a major deal in the offseason. They meet again in Dallas on Jan. 16.

The Bruins traded Seguin and Peverley in the deal that brought left winger Loui Eriksson and right winger Reilly Smith to Boston.

Smith set up defenseman Torey Krug’s fifth goal to tie the game after center Jamie Benn scored his fifth goal of the season for Dallas.

Rask, like Lehtonen, turned aside 34 shots.

The Bruins piled up an early 15-1 shots advantage, but the game was tied at 1 the first period. Benn walked in from the right side and snapped a shot past Rask 3:38 into the game. Boston answered when Smith fed Krug, the leading goal scorer among defensemen in the league, alone in front.

Through two periods, the Bruins failed to cash in on four power plays, while the Stars were 0-for-1.
