Tuukka Rask's wire-to-wire dominance helped to ensure that Charlie McAvoy's 20th birthday had a happy ending. Rask was nearly impenetrable for over 65 minutes before McAvoy scored the decisive goal in the shootout for Boston as the Bruins beat the Jets 2-1 on Thursday night. "A cherry on top of a great effort by our team," McAvoy said after he improved to 2-for-2 lifetime in shootouts. Patrik Laine scored his 18th goal of the season in Winnipeg's 2-1 shootout loss to Boston. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets makes a save on Patrice Bergeron of the Bruins, during Boston's 2-1 shootout win on Thursday.
