BOSTON — Charlie Coyle scored the tiebreaking goal late in the opening period and Boston's tight defense carried the Bruins to their fifth straight victory, 4-1 over the Winnipeg Jets in a matchup of top NHL teams. Jake DeBrusk and Jakub Lauko also scored as Boston improved to 10-1-3 in its last 14 games. Jeremy Swayman made 20 saves for the Bruins, who lead the Eastern Conference with 67 points. Vladislav Namestnikov scored for the Jets, who lead the Central Division with 64 points. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 17 shots. Winnipeg had given up three goals or fewer in 34 straight games, one short of the modern NHL record set by the 2015 Minnesota Wild.
