BOSTON — Tyler Seguin and Patrice Bergeron scored in the shootout to lift the Boston Bruins to a 4-3 win over the visiting Nashville Predators on Saturday.

Bergeron added a shorthanded tally in regulation and Milan Lucic scored the tying goal with 1:07 left in the third period for the Bruins, who bounced back from a 6-0 loss at Buffalo on Wednesday.

After David Krejci was denied in the first round of the shootout, Seguin made multiple moves before going to the backhand to beat Pekka Rinne.

Tim Thomas, who made 19 saves in regulation and overtime, stopped Sergei Kostitsyn and Martin Erat in the shootout, leaving it open for Bergeron to win it in the third round.

Lucic knotted it at 3-3 late in the third. After drawing a penalty to start the power play, Lucic came on the right side of the rush and grabbed the rebound of Rich Peverley's miss, burying it past Rinne for his 20th goal.

Mike Fisher had given Nashville its first lead 2:25 earlier, circling behind the net to grab a puck squirting through the crease and tap it into the open net for a 3-2 lead.

The Predators have dropped four of their last five games.

NOTES: In case anyone thought last week's fruitless questioning of Tim Thomas by reporters was going to keep the goalie from posting on Facebook, Thomas went to his page Friday morning to give a thought for the day with a lengthy quote from Ronald Reagan stating, in part, the desire of most Americans for, “... A better life for themselves and their children; a minimum of government authority. Very simply, they want to be left alone in peace and safety to take care of the family by earning an honest dollar and putting away some savings.” ...

Nashville took the lone meeting last season, 4-3, in overtime. The home team has won each of the last six in the series. ...

Thomas has only started three times against the Predators, winning all of them.
