Charlie Coyle scored his second goal of the game to launch the Boston Bruins' four-goal third period as they held off the visiting Philadelphia Flyers for a 6-5 win on Saturday night.

The teams combined for seven goals in the final frame, the first three of which were Boston's in a span of 2:56.

Jake DeBrusk had a goal and an assist, while Morgan Geekie, John Beecher and Danton Heinen also found the net as the Bruins moved to 5-1-1 in their last seven.

Brad Marchand and Hampus Lindholm each had two assists, and Jeremy Swayman stopped 24 shots.

Joel Farabee scored twice while Owen Tippett (three) and Cam York (two) each had multiple assists for Philadelphia, which has lost two in a row.

Nicolas Deslauriers, Morgan Frost and Ryan Poehling scored the Flyers' remaining goals, while Felix Sandstrom made 24 stops.

Coyle began Boston's third-period barrage with a go-ahead goal at 1:08. David Pastrnak set up Coyle's drive down the left side that he took toward the net front to roof a shot.

At 3:45, Beecher made a second effort at his own rebound outside the crease. Newly acquired defenseman Andrew Peeke slid the puck from the right circle into the middle to start the play.

DeBrusk upped the Boston lead to 5-2, cutting down the right side to tuck a loose puck past an outstretched Sandstrom at 4:04.

Two Philadelphia goals in 1:02 made it a one-goal game again. Deslauriers scored with 5:48 left in regulation before Frost got behind the defense and scored a between-the-legs goal at the crease.

Heinen went coast-to-coast and sniped from the left dot to give Boston a 6-4 lead with 2:59 to go, but Farabee answered on a wraparound less than a minute later.

Philadelphia scored first 4:18 in when Poehling finished Garnet Hathaway's two-on-one cross-ice feed with a snap shot from the right circle.

Geekie leveled the score for Boston with 4:09 left in the first, stepping into a slap shot at the top of the right circle after a DeBrusk feed.

The visitors took a 2-1 lead as Farabee deflected York's point shot at 12:01 of the second.

Coyle made it 2-2 with 4:38 to go in the middle frame, scoring on a man advantage. Pavel Zacha's faceoff win got the play started, and Marchand cut inside and sent a backhand pass across to Coyle.
