Savard lifts Bruins past Flyers in opener

In his first game back since a concussion seven weeks ago, Marc Savard scored on a delayed penalty with 6:08 left in the first overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 5-4 playoff victory over the visiting Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

The Bruins took a 1-0 lead in the best-of seven Eastern Conference semifinals. Game 2 is Monday night in Boston.

With the Flyers due to receive a penalty in their own end, Savard got the puck at the right circle and slapped it past goalie Brian Boucher.

Canucks 5, Blackhawks 1: Roberto Luongo made 36 saves and visiting Vancouver showed why it was the Western Conference's top scoring team this season, routing Chicago in the second-round series opener.

Game 2 is Monday night in Chicago.
