Thornton scored Bostons first goal and Campbell scored the third. Dennis Seidenberg scored the second.
The Bruins entered the third period with a 3-2 lead, thanks to a pair of second-period goals from Seidenberg and Campbell.
Seidenberg beat DiPietro five-hole with a slap shot from the right point, giving the Bs a 2-1 lead eight minutes into the second. Campbell made it 3-1 not even two minutes later, when he stepped out from the corner and beat DiPietro with a low wrister to the short side.
Michael Grabner -- who had originally tied the game at 1-1 in the opening minutes of the second -- cut Bostons lead to 3-2 with 5:34 left in the period, as he scored his second goal of the night, out-hustling Tomas Kaberle to a puck at center ice, and finishing a breakaway while shorthanded.
Thornton -- who had missed the previous three games with 40 stitches in his forehead -- had given the Bruins a 1-0 lead with one-tenth of a second left in the first period, when he put home a puck that came right to him across the crease, with DiPietro having to chance to make a stop.
