NEW YORK (AP) — Pavel Zacha and Brad Marchand each scored two goals and Jonas Korpisalo made 21 saves because the Boston Bruins beat the New York Islanders 6-3 on Wednesday night.

Zadorov's no-goal goal at 17:58 rounded out the scoring.

Bruins: Boston is 3-1-0 since interim coach Joe Sacco replaced Jim Montgomery on the bench on Nov. 19.
