Bruins stay alive; Kings, Flyers into next round

DEFENDING Stanley Cup champions Boston staved off elimination from the playoffs with a 4-3 overtime win over Washington on Sunday while Philadelphia and Los Angeles advanced with wins over Pittsburgh and Vancouver.

Tyler Seguin came to Boston's rescue, storming into the Washington end and using a nifty shoulder deke to fool Capitals' rookie goalie Braden Holtby before sliding home the game-winner a little over three minutes into overtime.

The Bruins led 3-2 on goals from Rich Peverley, David Krejic and Andrew Ference while Mike Green and Jason Chimera replied for the Capitals.

The Los Angeles Kings completed a stunning first-round series triumph over Western Conference top seeds the Canucks with a 2-1 overtime win.

Jarret Stoll scooped up a turnover in Vancouver's zone and finished a 2-on-1 break himself for the game-winning goal as the Kings took the series 4-1.

It was the Kings' first postseason series win in 11 years and set up a second-round matchup with the St Louis Blues.

In Philadelphia, Claude Giroux made sure the Flyers booked a ticket to the next round for the third straight season with a goal and two assists in a 5-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins that wrapped up the series 4-2.
