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.

FLYERS 4, BLUES 1: Scott Hartnell and Brayden Schenn scored in the second period to rally host Philadelphia to a 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.

Jaden Schwartz opened the scoring 6:23 into the game, finishing a 2-on-1 short-handed opportunity after taking a feed from Kevin Shattenkirk.

Evgeni Malkin had two goals and two assists while Sidney Crosby added a goal and two assists for the Penguins, who have won nine straight over the Lightning. Jeff Zatkoff stopped 21 shots and Pittsburgh ended Tampa Bay’s five-game win streak.

Dallas snapped a four-game losing streak (0-3-1) and sent the Senators to their sixth consecutive defeat (0-5-1), tying Ottawa’s longest skid this season.

NOTES

BLACKHAWKS: Patrick Kane, on long-term injured reserve after an injury Wednesday, must sit out a minimum of 10 games and 24 days. Blackhawks General Manager Stan Bowman said there is “no reason to think he won’t” be ready for the playoffs.

Season-ticket prices for the Blackhawks will go up 8 percent from this year – seats will range from $410 per game in the prime areas to $42 in Tier 3.

Price increases have not deterred fans in the past – last season, the renewal rate for season tickets was about 99 percent.

Chicago registered its 262nd consecutive capacity crowd in Friday’s win over Pittsburgh.

RED WINGS: David Legwand was fined $5,000 by the NHL for butting Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin with the end of his stick when they played the Penguins Thursday.
