BOSTON — Milan Lucic scored two goals and Tuukka Rask made 33 saves to lift the Boston Bruins to a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday night.

Boston extended the Islanders’ futility to 1-15-3 in their past 19 games. New York, which has lost 11 straight road games, hasn’t won since beating New Jersey at home on Nov. 26.

Rask won for only the second time this season (2-6-1). Boston is 4-0-1 in its last five.

Brad Marchand scored a short-handed goal with 5:20 remaining in the second period. Michael Ryder scored one of two power-play goals for Boston at 14:16 of the third period for a 3-1 lead before Rob Schremp narrowed the Bruins’ lead to 3-2 with 3:33 remaining.

Lucic and Patrice Bergeron added empty-net goals in the final 1:03 to cap off the scoring.

Frans Nielsen got the Islanders even at 1 in the second period with a short-handed, penalty-shot goal.
