Brad Stuart scored his second goal of the third period with 1:42 remaining and the Boston Bruins held off the Montreal Canadiens, 6-5, on Monday night in Montreal.

Stuart scored midway through the period to give Boston -- which led 4-1 in the second -- a 5-4 advantage before Montreal’s Sheldon Souray tied it moments later with his team-leading 10th goal on a power play.

Marc Savard had three assists for Boston, which has won four of five. Glenn Murray, Marco Sturm, Shean Donovan and Wayne Primeau also scored for the Bruins, who allowed three straight goals in the second.

Dallas 1, San Jose 0 -- Marty Turco stopped 25 shots for his 26th career shutout and Mike Modano scored a power-play goal before leaving with an unspecified injury as the host Stars ended San Jose’s season-high five-game winning streak.

Phoenix 3, Nashville 2 -- Patrick Fischer scored with 11:20 remaining to lift the Coyotes past the visiting Predators.

Edmonton 4, Vancouver 0 -- Daniel Tjarnqvist and Joffrey Lupul scored 34 seconds apart early in the second period and Dwayne Roloson made 36 saves to lead the Oilers over the host Canucks.
