Brian Gionta beat Tuukka Rask for the only goal in a shootout and the Montreal Canadiens sent the free-falling Boston Bruins to their ninth straight loss, 3-2 on Thursday night.

The Bruins, 1-9-3 in their last 13 games, blew a two-goal lead, then extended the second-longest losing streak in franchise history. They also lost their eighth straight home game, also the second-longest streak in club history.

Boston has scored 14 goals during the nine-game streak, 11 in the last eight.

The Canadiens got 45 saves from Jaroslav Halat in regulation and overtime and three more in the shootout. Gionta put Mongtreal's third bid past Rask, who made 23 saves.

Montreal beat the rival Bruins for the third time in three tries this season.

Mark Recchi and Blake Wheeler gave the Bruins a 2-0 lead, but Glen Metropolit and Roman Hamrlik scored 39 seconds apart late in the second period to tie it.
