Brock Nelson (2G, 1A) and Max Tsyplakov scored for the Islanders, but Boston exploded with six goals from Brad Marchand (2G), Morgan Geekie, Pavel Zacha (2G) and Nikita Zadorov, including three in the third period. Ilya Sorokin turned aside 15 of 20 shots in the loss, while Joonas Korpisalo made 21 saves in the win.

Pavel Zacha scored a pair of third-period goals to give the Bruins a 6-3 win over the Islanders at UBS Arena Wednesday night. Boston had squandered leads of 2-0 and 3-2 but responded with a strong final 20 minutes on the second night of back-to-back games to improve to 11-10-3 and 3-1 since Joe Sacco took over bench duties just over a week ago.
