TORONTO -- David Krejci's goal in the shootout gave the Boston Bruins a 4-3 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre on Monday.
Landon Ferraro scored in his first game with the Bruins (11-8-1), who have won three in a row. The Maple Leafs (7-10-5) have lost two straight.
Brad Marchand scored a shorthanded goal 4:58 into the game to give Boston a 1-0 lead. Maple Leafs goalie James Reimer stopped a shot by Patrice Bergeron, but the rebound flew high into the air, allowing Marchand to swat it baseball-style into the net. The play was reviewed and it was ruled Marchand's stick was below the crossbar. It was his ninth goal of the season and fourth in the past four games.
Boston made it 2-0 at 12:39 when left-shooting Zac Rinaldo broke into the Toronto zone on the right wing and snapped a shot past Reimer on the short side for his first goal of the season.
Joffrey Lupul made it 2-1 when he scored his eighth goal of the season at 11:56. With the Bruins about to be assessed a penalty, the maple Leafs maintained possession of the puck with Reimer on the bench for an extra skater. Lupul got the puck, carried it to the high slot and snapped a shot through a crowd and past Boston goalie Tuukka Rask.
The Maple Leafs tied the score 2-2 on Leo Komarov's seventh goal of the season 12:56 into the second period. Komarov scooped a rebound in tight and slammed it past Rask.
Landon Ferraro restored the Bruins' lead when he stabbed a rebound past Reimer at 14:40. It was Ferraro's first goal of the season, and first for the Bruins, who claimed him off waivers from the Detroit Red Wings this weekend.
Tyler Bozak tied it for Toronto 1:29 later when he popped a rebound past Rask for his fourth of the season.
The Bruins had a chance to take the lead with 4:33 remaining in the third when a puck bounced over Reimer and was headed into the goal, but Toronto defenseman Morgan Rielly dove and swatted it away.
