THE New York Rangers and Boston Bruins posted tight Game 3 road wins to regain control of their Stanley Cup Eastern Conference quarterfinals on Monday.
In the late game in the Western Conference, the St Louis Blues maintained the theme of narrow wins for road teams with a 4-3 triumph in San Jose.
Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist came out on top in a goaltending duel with Craig Anderson in the Canadian capital, stopping 39 shots as the Rangers edged the Ottawa Senators 1-0 to move ahead 2-1 in their best-of-seven series.
In Washington, Zdeno Chara's slap shot whizzed past netminder Braden Holtby with less than two minutes remaining to give the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins a 4-3 win over the Capitals and a 2-1 lead in their series.
Back on home ice and roused by a raucous sellout crowd, the Senators outshot the Rangers 39-22 but Lundqvist was brilliant, particularly in the final minutes when denying Kyle Turris from close range, as he clinched a fourth career playoff shutout.
"They're good, they keep coming, they have a lot of skill up front so you have to work hard," Lundqvist said.
"There were a lot of people in front of me all night, not only their guys but our guys clearing the lane, and I think they did a pretty good job."
The game was physical but there were plenty of quality scoring chances.
