Glendale, Ariz. • The Boston Bruins rallied with three third-period goals, the go-ahead score by Shawn Thornton with 3:18 to play, to win their 12th in a row, 4-2 over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night.
The Bruins are two shy of the franchise mark of 14 straight set in the 1929-30 season. They also have the most points in the NHL with 103, two more than Western Conference-leading St. Louis.
Jarome Iginla scored his 27th and 28th goals of the season for Boston, the second with an empty net in the final seconds.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson had a spectacular goal to put Phoenix ahead 2-1 in the second period. Shane Doan scored the other Coyotes goal on a power play. The loss snapped Phoenix's three-game winning streak.
Flyers 4, Blues 1 • In Philadelphia, Scott Hartnell and Brayden Schenn scored in the second period, and the Philadelphia Flyers rallied to beat Western Conference-leading St. Louis for their fifth straight victory.
Jakub Voracek and Wayne Simmonds added goals, and Steve Mason made 32 saves to help Philadelphia improve to 12-2-1 in its last 15 games to maintain its hold on second place in the Metropolitan Division.
Pens 4, Lightning 3 (OT) • In Pittsbrugh, James Neal's power-play goal 1:27 into overtime lifted Pittsburgh to a wild victory over Tampa Bay.
Neal's slap shot over Anders Lindback's right shoulder capped a frantic final 15 minutes of play as the teams traded the lead three times.
Evgeni Malkin had two goals and two assists. Day in
