TORONTO - Chuck Kobasew scored with 3:31 left in the third period, lifting the Boston Bruins to a 4-2 comeback win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Kobasew stepped into the slot and ripped a wrist shot past Vesa Toskala on the stick side, giving Boston a 3-2 lead and stunning the crowd the Leafs blow a 2-0 lead. Kobasew capped the win with an empty-net goal with 26.7 seconds left.

P.J. Axelsson and Phil Kessel also scored for the Bruins, who beat the Leafs for the second time in less than a week after a 5-2 win at home last Thursday.

DUCKS: The Stanley Cup champions signed Ryan Getzlaf to a five-year extension worth $26.625 million that begins next season and runs through 2013.

The 22-year-old center has seven goals and 14 assists in 19 games this season.

Getzlaf would have become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. The third-year player will earn $5.325 million per year under his new deal.

Getzlaf had 25 goals and 33 assists, both career highs, last season.
