BOSTON -- On a night when the World Series trophy was carried onto the ice, the Bruins gave Boston sports fans one more reason to cheer. Antonio Cassano Italy Jersey . Zdeno Chara scored the tying goal on a power play with under 3 minutes remaining in regulation and Jarome Iginla had the lone goal in a shootout to rally the Bruins past the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 on Thursday. "Its a sports city, clearly," said Chris Kelly, who had an assist and was wearing a World Series championship T-shirt after the game. "The crowd here is always awesome. Halloween night, a lot of people might decide to take their kids trick-or-treating. But not in Boston. Theyre here." And they witnessed another win for the home team. Bruins players came out for warmups wearing World Series caps, and the crowd got into it midway through the second period when Boston Red Sox highlights from their clinching win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night at Fenway Park were shown on the JumboTron. Bruins team President Cam Neely and Red Sox President and CEO Larry Lucchino then came onto the ice and held the World Series trophy high above their heads. During the timeout, Kelly instantly noticed the trophy. "I wouldnt mind getting a picture with it," he said. Carl Soderberg scored his first NHL goal and Tuukka Rask made 21 saves for the Bruins, who mustered only one shot in the first period but still managed to snap a two-game skid. "I think we have a lot of competitive guys and when youre down, that desperation level kicks in," said defenceman Torey Krug, who also had an assist. "Weve got to do a better job of starting games out." Devante Smith-Pelly scored less than 2 minutes into the game, Mathieu Perreault had a goal and an assist and Jonas Hiller stopped 21 shots for the Ducks. But they went 0 for 4 on the power play, dropping the leagues worst unit to 7.3 per cent (4 for 55). Anaheim was on the verge of its fourth straight victory until Patrick Maroons tripping penalty with 2:58 left in the third period gave Boston late life. "Thats three games in a row that weve taken a penalty in the last 2 minutes of the game," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. It didnt take long for the Bruins to capitalize. David Krejci scooped up a loose puck just outside the crease and slid a pass through the legs of defenceman Cam Fowler that Chara easily slipped past Hiller with 2:50 to go, setting off a celebration in the stands. Iginla then put Boston ahead in the shootout with his wrist shot over Hillers glove. After Rask turned aside two weak attempts by the Ducks, Ryan Getzlaf hit the crossbar to end the game. "They didnt have a shot on goal in the first period until the 18-minute mark," Boudreau said. "But if you dont score, eventually a really good team is going to come up and bite you and thats what happened." After scoring the game-winner with 0.8 seconds left last Thursday to stun the San Jose Sharks, the Bruins gave up a pair of late goals in each of their previous two games, including two power-play tallies 23 seconds apart in a setback to New Jersey on Saturday. Despite the buzz in the building Thursday following Bostons third World Series title in the last 10 years, the Bruins got off to a slow start. A slap shot by Chara more than 18 minutes into the game was Bostons lone shot of the first period. Anaheim had five shots, but needed only one to score. Smith-Pelly got his first goal of the season 1:52 into the game to give the Ducks a quick lead. After the World Series trophy came out, the Bruins picked up their play. They tied the score minutes later when Soderberg broke in alone on Hiller and slipped the puck between his legs for his first career goal. "It means a lot to me," Soderberg said. "Ive been playing in Europe for 10 years at the highest level there, but its still not the NHL. I came here at 28 years old, so I wanted to see if I could play in the NHL. "Im pretty glad I scored." Perreaults fifth goal put the Ducks back on top with 20.9 seconds remaining in the second. After winning a faceoff in the Bruins zone, Perreault corralled a pass inside the circle just seconds later, spun to his right and slid a shot by Rasks right leg. "That goal in the last 20 seconds of the second would probably have broken a lot of teams backs. It didnt break ours," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Id rather give my team credit for this one than say were fortunate. "For us to come out here and play a great game and then battle right until the end and win this against a team that was fresh and waiting for us here, if anything, I would say thats a real gutsy effort on our part." NOTES: The Bruins recalled C Ryan Spooner from Providence of the AHL and he got his first NHL point when he assisted on Soderbergs goal. He also missed the first shot of the shootout. ... The Ducks played without forward Teemu Selanne, expected to miss two weeks after losing four teeth and receiving 40 stitches in his mouth following a high stick in a victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday. The 43-year-old ranks second on the active scoring list with 1,437 points and plans to retire after the season. ... Bostons one shot in the first was its fewest in a period since getting just one in the third period of a win over New Jersey on Jan. 5, 2008. ... It was Bostons first overtime game this season, and Anaheims third. Matthias Ginter Germany Jersey . Davis set career highs with 40 points and 21 rebounds, and Eric Gordon made two crucial free throws in overtime to lead the Pelicans to a 121-120 overtime victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday night. Rui Patricio Portugal Jersey . Bautista led off the 10th inning with his second homer of the game, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays to a 5-4 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.It had all the makings of a classic heavyweight boxing match - Riddick Bowe vs. Evander Holyfield in the second of what would become three great title bouts. That is, until James Miller grabbed the spotlight. Wearing a parachute with a propeller attached, Miller glided from the sky above and into the ring area at Caesars palace during the second minute of the seventh round. The lines on his paraglider became tangled in the overhead lights, dropping him down at ringside and into the crowd of spectators. With ruly boxing fans and security detail swarming him almost immediately, Miller was knocked unconscious before being sent to hospital where he was charged with dangerous flying. Henceforth, the legend of Fan Man was born - twenty years ago today on Nov. 6, 1993. Tonight, SportsCentre looks back at that infamous moment in sports history with its Top 10 memorable fans - and wants you to vote for your favourite. The Candidates (5): Jeffrey Maier - Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles and the Orioles were up 4-2 at the bottom of the eighth. Maier, 11, caught a Derek Jeter hit over the rails at the left centre field stands at Yankee Stadium. The umpires ruled it to be a home run instead of fan interference and New York would go on to win the game and the series. Steve Bartman - Another eighth inning incident - this time in the 2003 NLCS between the Cubs and Marlins. With Chicago up 3–2 in the series and 3-0 in Game 6, some fans attempted to catch a foul ball off the bat of Marlins second baseman Luis Castillo. Lifelong Cubs fan Steve Bartman reached for the baall, stopping a potential catch and second out by Cubs outfielder Moises Alou. David Silva Spain Jersey. The Cubs ended up surrendering eight runs in the inning and lost the game, 8-3. They then lost Game 7, which many Cubs fans say was kickstarted by Bartman. Pummeled Nordiques fan - No controversy here, just an old fashioned beatdown. In a home game against the Quebec Nordiques in 1992, Buffalo Sabres forward Rob Ray beat up a Nordiques fan who had snuck onto the ice and approached the bench. That was one brave (maybe not so bright) guy. Philly fan with Tie Domi - Toronto Maple Leaf Tie Domi wrestled with a spectator who jumped from the second row and landed on the glass separating the box from the crowd during the Leafs games against the Philadelphia Flyers at First Union Center. Domi, who had just been penalized early in the third period, twice poured water over taunting fans in the front row before the attacking fan, Chris Falcone, jumped in and landed on the glass. Falcone leaned into it while throwing a punch at Domi. He then fell into the box as Domi grabbed him. The Saddledome Streaker - Wearing only a pair of red socks at a game between the Calgary Flames and Boston Bruins, a fan scaled the glass near the penalty box during a stoppage in play and just over five minutes left in the game. He then slipped when his feet touched the ice and landed hard on his back and head, knocking himself unconscious. After a delay of six minutes, he was removed on a stretcher to a huge ovation from the Pengrowth Saddledome crowd.
