Daniel Paille notched a goal and an assist to lead Boston to a 2-1 Game 3 win over the New York Rangers.
He picked up an assist on defenseman Johnny Boychuck's fourth marker of the playoffs and then he supplied the game-winning goal late in the third. The Bruins' fourth line wanted to contribute more offensively and they were the driving force behind Tuesday's victory. Shawn Thornton picked up two assists in the contest and Gregory Campbell had a helper of his own. Milan Lucic recorded five hits and Matt Bartkowski led the team with six. Boston now owns a commanding 3-0 series lead versus the Rangers.

Tuukka Rask turned aside 23 shots in a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers Tuesday night.
The Rangers registered 11 shots in the first period, but they mustered just 13 in the next two stanzas. Still, Rask deserves some credit for keeping the Bruins close after two periods and allowing them to stage a third-period comeback. New York has scored only five goals on Rask in three games in their Eastern Conference Semifinal series, which is why they trail Boston 3-0 and are one loss away from playoff elimination.

Henrik Lundqvist stopped 32 of 34 shots in a 2-1 loss to Boston in Game 3 Tuesday.
The Rangers held a 1-0 lead late going into the third period, but ended up losing and digging themselves a 3-0 hole in the series. New York wasted a strong bounce-back effort from their goaltender, who stopped 14 shots in the second period. Lundqvist rebounded after getting burned for five goals against in Game 2, but his teammates couldn't close out the Bruins by giving him some additional offensive support.

Taylor Pyatt was credited with New York's only goal in a 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 3 Tuesday night.
The goal was originally thought to be scored by defenseman Ryan McDonagh, but after a review it was given to Pyatt on the tip. The Rangers carried the 1-0 lead into the third period, but the Bruins netted two goals in the final frame to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. Derek Stepan led the club with five shots and Ryan Callahan posted a game-high seven hits to go with four shots. John Moore finished with a minus-1 rating and a game-high four blocks.

Keaton Ellerby will be a healthy scratch Tuesday night.
Matt Greene, who had been sidelined with an undisclosed injury, will take his spot in the lineup.
