<p>Newark, NJ (<a href="http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=nhl/scores/final/recap.aspx?ID=14257">Sports Network</a>) - <span>Gregory Campbell</span> had a goal and an assist, as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Bruins</a> finished strong to down the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.allaboutthejersey.com/">Devils</a>, 4-1, on Thursday.</p>
<p><span>Andrew Ference</span>, <span>Nathan Horton</span> and <span>Chris Kelly</span> also scored during a four-goal third period for the Bruins, who were coming off Tuesday's loss at Tampa Bay. <span>Tim Thomas</span> made 30 saves in the win.</p>
<p>The Devils, meanwhile, saw their three-game win streak come to an end. <span>Petr Sykora</span> scored their lone goal during the first period and <span>Martin Brodeur</span> made 21 saves.</p>
<p>The Devils grabbed a 1-0 lead with 1:31 remaining in the first, as <span>Dainius Zubrus</span> recovered the puck behind the net and fed Sykora in front for the one- time tally.</p>
<p>Boston, meanwhile, appeared stymied, getting just six shots on net in both the first and second periods. Its woes came to a hasty halt in the third when Ference smoked a slap shot past Brodeur from the left point at 3:01.</p>
<p>Horton and Campbell continued the surge four minutes later, scoring 35 seconds apart on a tip-in and a rebound, respectively. Horton's 17th of the season came on the power play and Campbell's came after a spirited flurry in front of the net.</p>
<p>Kelly added an empty netter with 47 seconds left to seal the final result.</p>
<p>Game Notes</p>
<p>The Bruins got forward <span>Brad Marchand</span> back from a five-game suspension. He skated a little over 16 minutes...Boston has won all three meetings between the teams this season.</p>

<p>The Bruins are looking to improve and get back to their winning ways after dropping two of their last three games. And they are hoping Brad Marchand is looking to do the same.</p> <h3 dir="ltr" id="internal-source-marker_0.7550458911943551"><span style="font-size: 19px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Bruins Vs.

Based on how they were playing the past couple of months, the ho-hum past couple of games could definitely be categorized like that, especially last game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.rawcharge.com/">Tampa Bay Lightning</a>. </span><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They came out and scored three goals, but ultimately fell 5-3 with an open net goal, courtesy of <span>Steven Stamkos</span>.

It might take a while for them to get back into the swing of things, but they should come out on top. </span><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Final Score: Bruins 3, Devils 2.</span><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For more Boston Bruins coverage, visit</span><a href="http://boston.sbnation.com/boston-bruins/2012/nhl/teams/boston-bruins"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000099; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">our team page</span></a><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> and blog,</span><a href="http://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000099; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Stanley Cup Of Chowder</span></a><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span></p>
