Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron scored third-period goals to lift the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 comeback win over the New York Rangers on Friday.

Brad Marchand also scored for the Eastern Conference-leading Bruins, who improved to 9-2-2 in their last 13 games.

Rick Nash and Ryan McDonagh scored for the Rangers, who completed a five-game road trip 3-2.

Tuukka Rask stopped 17 shots for Boston, which hasn't lost in regulation at home in its last 10 games (8-0-2).

Henrik Lundqvist made 25 saves for the Rangers, who played their first game in Boston since the Bruins eliminated them in five games in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last spring.
