BOSTON -- Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien decided it was time to load up with offence. It worked. David Krejci scored 1:28 into overtime to lift the surging Bruins to a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. Coming off a tough shootout loss to St. Louis on Thursday, Julien chose to play his top line together. Skating with his usual linemates and only one defenceman, Krejci scored into an empty net after Jarome Iginla broke in alone, forcing goaltender Cam Ward to come way out to try and cut down an angle. Iginla then dropped a pass to Krejci, who fired a wrister over a sprawling Ward for the winner. "We havent had much luck lately in shootouts," Julien said. "I just thought it was important to get a line out there and give us a better chance. It paid off." Reilly Smith and Zdeno Chara also scored for Eastern Conference-leading Boston, which beat the Hurricanes for the second time this week and improved to 7-1-2 in its last 10 games. Iginla knew Krejci had an opening and kept waiting for him to shoot. "I was thinking, Put it in. Put it in," he said. "He showed great patience." Krejci credited Iginla for setting him up so well. "I kind of had an easy job to do," he said. "I just had to put it into a top open net." Bruins backup goaltender Chad Johnson, playing just his fourth game of the season, made 22 saves in place of resting Tuukka Rask. Patrick Dwyer scored a short-handed goal and Andrej Sekera had one on the power play for the Hurricanes, who lost their fourth straight. Ward stopped 35 shots. The Bruins had a 38-24 shot advantage. They won 4-1 in Carolina on Monday night. The Hurricanes felt like they were a bit lucky to get the game to OT after being outplayed for two periods. "We were happy with the way we played in the third, but its a 60 minute game," Dwyer said. "When you get behind on a team like that, its a tough team to get your way back into the game against. We thought we were there and they won it in overtime." Ward didnt feel like Carolina played well enough to earn a victory. "Youve got to be at your best when youre playing a team like that." he said. With the Hurricanes trailing 2-1 and skating short-handed after a bench minor for too many men on the ice, Dwyer collected a loose puck near centre ice, broke in alone and slipped a backhander by Johnsons blocker, tying it with 8:50 to play. Boston, which dominated play for lengthy stretches in the second period, moved ahead 2-1 on Smiths goal at 13:31. Smith collected the rebound in front after Carolina defenceman Tim Gleason blocked Carl Soderbergs shot, he shifted to his backhand and slipped a shot into the net past Wards glove. The Hurricanes were held without a shot on goal for nearly the opening 12 minutes of the second. Eric Staal finally ended the drought when he fired a shot from the left circle that Johnson stopped with a right-pad save. The Bruins outshot Carolina 12-4 in the second and owned a 26-10 edge through two periods. Charas power-play goal had tied the game 1-1 late in the opening period. With the Hurricanes Manny Malhotra in the box with a double minor for high sticking, Chara collected the rebound of Milan Lucics shot in front and slipped a shot into a wide-open right side of the net. Carolina grabbed a 1-0 lead on Sekeras power-play goal just under 6 minutes into the game. Only a few minutes after Sekera had to be helped off favouring his right leg after blocking a shot, the defenceman sent a shot from the middle of the blue line. Johnson was screened and the puck slipped past him inside the left post. "I just didnt see it," Johnson said. "I just didnt move my head quick enough."

Yan Gomes and Ryan Raburn drove in two runs apiece as Cleveland beat Baltimore 6-4 and jumped the Orioles on Wednesday night in the scramble to win one of the ALs two wild-card spots. The live chicken, presented as a gift to reliever Cody Allen, was on the field for batting practice. The bird, supplied by clubhouse workers from an area farm, was given to Allen, who was nicknamed "Chicken Al" by pitcher Frank Herrmann in spring training. The chicken has been named "Cody." While manager Terry Francona said the chicken will be returned safely to the farm, the bird may have to make a return engagement as the Indians continue their playoff push. "If we get on roll, thats going to be our mascot," Raburn said. "Whoevers the owner of it, were going to have to keep that sucker if we keep winning. Were going to have to get him his own locker." The chicken, carried on the field by staff ace Justin Masterson, spent most of batting practice standing with Clevelands pitchers in front of the warning track in centre field. Allen, as his teammates made clucking noises in his direction following the game, was initially reluctant to discuss his gift but finally relented. "It was funny," he said. "It was a very calm chicken. It handled itself well. We scored six runs so maybe the chicken will be here tomorrow." Allen said two of his teammates came up with the idea. Although pitcher Rich Hill was rumoured to be involved, no names were divulged. "Its kind of an anonymous duo," Allen said. Francona knew about the joke ahead of time but was still surprised to see a chicken on a baseball field. "Im pretty OK as long as we win, but I dont know about farm animals," he said. The Indians came off a tough road trip to Atlanta and Detroit, in which they went 1-5 and lost ground in the wild card race before playing Baltimore. Francona is happy that his team is remaining loose. "I think its great," he said. "Were into September. ... I actually love it. Guys are trying to have fun. Thats the best way to be a good team." The Indians moved a half-game in front of Baltimore in the chase for a playoff spot. Cleveland began the night 3 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay for the second wild card. Relievers Bryan Shaw (3-3), Allen, Joe Smith and Chris Perez, who recorded his 22nd save, combined to allow one hit in 4 1-3 innings.dddddddddddd "The chicken got us a win. ... Im sorry. ... Cody got us a win, Chicken Al pitched well," Smith said. Gomes broke a 4-all tie with an RBI single in the fifth when the Indians scored twice to go ahead for good. A wild pitch by Kevin Gausman (2-4) with the bases loaded scored the second run. Cleveland scored four times in the first, but starter Zach McAllister couldnt hold the lead. Adam Jones hit a solo homer in the fourth. Manny Machados three-run homer tied it in the fifth. Raburns two-run double, along with RBI singles by Gomes and Mike Aviles, got the Indians off to a quick start. McAllister allowed four runs in 4 1-3 innings. Orioles starter Zach Britton lasted 3 1-3 innings in his first start since July 9. The left-hander, called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, allowed four runs and six hits. The Orioles finished 3-6 on their nine game trip against playoff contenders. They also lost two of three in Boston and New York. "I choose to trust these guys and continue to believe that good things are ahead," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. Jones was hit on the left arm by a pitch in the second. He was in obvious pain as he headed to first, where he was visited by Showalter and a team trainer. The two spoke with Jones, who remained in the game. The three-game series between teams chasing a playoff spot drew a total of 36,504 fans. Tuesday nights turnout of 9,962 was the lowest September/October crowd in the history of Progressive Field, which opened in 1994. NOTES: Orioles closer Jim Johnson, who leads the AL with 41 saves, pitched the eighth. It was his first appearance since Aug. 29. ... McAllister, who struck out six, is 3-3 with a 4.53 ERA in nine starts since returning from a sprained right middle finger on July 22. ...
