NHL ROUNDUP

-

Bruins 3, Flyers 2

Brad Marchand scored with 22 seconds left to lift Boston over Philadelph­ia on Thursday night for its fifth straight win.

Marchand and David Pastrnak swiped at the rebound off a shot from the point by Zdeno Chara, and the puck slowly trickled behind goalie Alex Lyon.

Chara and Pastrnak had two assists each, and Riley Nash and Brian Gionta also scored for Boston, which won despite getting outshot 33-27 by the slumping Flyers.

Jakub Voracek and Jori Lehtera scored for Philadelph­ia, which is 0-4-1 in its last five and is clinging to third place in the Metropolit­an Division.

Tuukka Rask had 31 saves for Boston and shut out the Flyers after Lehtera's short-handed goal early in the second period tied it at 2. Lyon made 24 saves for Philadelph­ia.

Nash tapped in a rebound after Pastrnak's wraparound attempt at 9:14 of the first to tie it at 1, then Gionta scored on a breakaway with 26 seconds left in the period to give Boston a 2-1 lead. It was the first goal as a Bruin for Gionta, who signed with Boston as a free agent serving as captain for the U.S. Olympic team.
