BOSTON — Brad Marchand scored with 22 seconds left to lift the Boston Bruins over the Philadelph­ia Flyers 3-2 on Thursday night for their fifth straight win.

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.
