25-year-old young newcomer Nathan Horton scored a second-period goal and added an assist to help lift the Boston Bruins to a 3-0 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Sunday and split the teams' two-game, NHL season-opening series in the Czech capital. The Bruins' Tim Thomas recorded a 29-save shutout in his first game of the season, replacing Tuukka Rask.

Horton joined the Bruins from the Florida Panthers before the season. He scored both goals for Boston in the 5-2 loss to the Coyotes in the opener Saturday in Prague. Phoenix and Boston were two of six NHL teams to start the season in Europe this year. Milan Lucic put the Bruins on the scoreboard halfway through the second period with a slap shot after gathering Horton's pass. Horton added the second on a quick wrist shot over goalie Ilya Bryzgalov's shoulder with 33 seconds left.

After Saturday's loss, the Bruins went on attack and bombarded Bryzgalov from the start. "We came out strong," Bruins captain Zdeno Chara said. "We created lot of chances. We were putting a lot of pressure on them, didn't give them much time to do anything and we got rewarded."

Boston outshot Phoenix 37-29, including 15-8 in the first period, but Bryzgalov held on through the scoreless first until Lucic struck at 12:11 Eighteen-year-old center Tyler Seguin sealed the victory with a breakaway goal at 9:14 in the third in his second NHL game.

Both teams were heading for long flights home immediately after Sunday's game, but Coyotes captain Shane Doan said the trip was still a positive experience. The Bruins play at the New Jersey Devils on Saturday in their first game back, while the Coyotes will welcome the Detroit Red Wings to Glendale for their home opener Saturday. About 13,000 spectators watched Sunday's clash, with less than 16,000 attending a day earlier, as NHL teams returned to Prague for season openers for the second time.
