BOSTON — Charlie Coyle scored the tying and go-ahead goals, John Beecher and Jake DeBrusk added insurance scores 19 seconds apart early in the third period, and the Boston Bruins held off the Philadelphia Flyers 6-5 in a wild third period that included seven goals. Morgan Geekie and Danton Heinen each added a goal for Boston, which moved a point ahead of Florida for the league's top record with 95 points — one more than the Panthers. Jeremy Swayman made 24 saves for Boston, which won for the fourth time in five games. Joel Farabee had two goals and Ryan Poehling, Nick Deslauriers and Morgan Frost each added one for the Flyers, who have lost four of their last six.
