BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - It had been over three years since Patrice Bergeron scored an overtime goal. The one he netted on Friday night could turn into a rallying point for the Boston Bruins.

Bergeron scored 47 seconds into the extra period to give the Bruins a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres.

The Bruins won their second straight game, only the second time this season they've produced a winning streak. This one moved Boston within two points of first-place Buffalo in the Northeast Division.
