BRUINS TRIUMPH

League scoring leader Phil Esposito and star defenseman Bobby Orr each tallied twice last night, leading the Boston Bruins to a 6-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at the Boston Garden.

Esposito's two goals were his 50th and 51st of the season. Orr scored his 25th and 26th goals before being ejected from the game in the second period for interfering in a fight between Buffalo's Ron Busniuk and the Bruins Mike Walton.

The other Bruins's goals were scored by Fred O'Donnell and Johnny Bucyk, who got his 40th of the campaign.
