Stanley Cup Playoffs: Bruins, Caps, And Kings Take 2-1 Series Leads

Three games dotted the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup Playoff schedule on Monday.

EASTERN CONFERENCE:

At Boston:

Goals from Dennis Wideman and Patrice Bergeron enabled the Boston Bruins to defeat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 in game three of their best-of-seven series as the Bruins now have taken the series lead at two games to one.

At Montreal:

A four-goal second period (Boyd Gordon [shorthanded], Brooks Laich, Eric Fehr, and Alex Ovechkin) powered the Washington Capitals to a 5-1 game-three road beatdown of the Montreal Canadiens.  The Caps now have a 2-1 lead in the series and have reclaimed the home-ice advantage.

WESTERN CONFERENCE:

At Los Angeles:


Three power-play goals, two by Michal Handzus (both in the second period) and one by Drew Doughty carried the Los Angeles Kings to a 5-3 home win over the Vancouver Canucks in game three of their best-of-seven series, which the Kings now lead two games to one.
