BOSTON -- Good things happen for the Bruins in overtime. Even for Brad Marchand. Bostons leading goal-scorer during the regular season scored his first of the post-season with 4:20 left in the first overtime and the Bruins beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Thursday night in the first playoff game in 40 years between the Original Six teams. "Its always frustrating" not to score, Marchand said, "but theres so many other areas of the game. Its always nice to get the first one and you hope you just keep going." The win was Bostons third straight in overtime, and New Yorks third straight loss in extra time. "I thought it was pretty even going into the overtime," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "But we got spanked in the overtime." Both teams advanced with Game 7 victories Monday night. The Rangers beat the Washington Capitals 5-0 behind Henrik Lundqvists second consecutive shutout. The Bruins overcame a three-goal deficit with 11 minutes left in regulation and beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 on Patrice Bergerons goal in overtime. "I really thought our guys turned the page on that historical game," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. Marchand scored on a pass from Bergeron. Marchand had carried the puck up the right side, passed it to Bergeron and kept going toward the net. Bergeron passed across the slot and Marchand tipped it past Lundqvist from the left side of the crease. "I told Marchand when we were pretty close to each other on the wall to go back door," Bergeron said. "It was good to see him score because I thought he had some pretty good looks tonight." Boston outshot New York 16-5 in overtime. "I kind of knew he was coming in the middle, but I was just too locked in on the puck," Lundqvist said. "Sooner or later when you face a lot of chances like that, youre going to make a mistake." The Bruins carried the play throughout overtime. They applied constant pressure, but couldnt score during a power play when Derek Dorsett was penalized for interference at 2:20 of overtime. Boston nearly won in regulation, but Johnny Boychuks shot from the right point clanged off the left post with one-tenth of a second remaining. Then he hit the left post at the other end of the ice at 6:34 of overtime. Zdeno Chara gave Boston a 1-0 lead at 12:23 of the second before Ryan McDonagh tied it with 1.3 seconds left in the period. Derek Stepan put the Rangers ahead 2-1 just 14 seconds into the third period, and Torey Krug tied it on a power play with his first NHL goal in four career games. "For his first goal, he couldnt have asked for better timing," Julien said. Game 2 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals is set for Sunday night in Boston. On Thursday, the Bruins played without three injured veteran defencemen: Andrew Ference, Dennis Seidenberg and Wade Redden. Three rookies started on defence: Dougie Hamilton, Matt Bartkowski and Krug, who was called up from Providence of the AHL after Seidenberg was hurt early in the first period Monday night. The Bruins ended Lundqvists shutout streak at 152 minutes, 23 seconds when he gave up a Charas soft goal. Lundqvist appeared to have a good view of the 50-foot slap shot from just in front of the middle of the blue line and got a piece of the puck, but it trickled by him. That lead nearly held up through the second period. But when Boychuk passed it from in front of his net to Tyler Seguin in the right circle, Rick Nash hit Sequins stick and the puck went to McDonagh at the left point. McDonaghs rising slap shot soared over the right arm of goalie Tuukka Rask. Stepan then made it 2-1 on a 30-foot shot from the slot through Rasks legs, two goals in 15.3 seconds. Krug tied the game with teammate David Krejci in front of the net trying to screen Lundqvist. The shot from just inside the top of the left circle went under Lundqvists left arm. Then Marchand beat Lundqvist to win in the extra session. "It was a tough overtime period for us. They came hard," Lundqvist said. "My record is terrible in overtime, but Ive just got to stick with it, play my game and hopefully itll turn around."

A roaring U.S. Open gallery tracked it for him. "Go! Go! Go! Go!" It did Sunday when Stefani aced the 17th hole, making him the first golfer to make a hole-in-one at any U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club, which is hosting the major for the fifth time. "When the crowd went crazy, I knew it went in," he said. His shot bounced out of the rough and rolled some 50 feet toward the pin before falling in the cup. Stefani raised his arms and hopped around the tee in celebration. Caddie Chris Callas gave him a playful hug and a slap on the back.
