NHL roundup: Boston extends home winning streak to 13 games

BOSTON — David Krejci and Shawn Thornton scored third-period goals to lift the Boston Bruins to their 13th straight home victory, a 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.

Marc Savard and Stephane Yelle also scored for Boston, which won its fourth straight to extend the club's longest home winning streak in 32 years. The Bruins are 18-2-1 in their last 21 games and have won nine of 10.

Manny Fernandez made 32 saves and improved to 10-1-1 in his last 12 starts. The victory was tainted by the loss of forward Patrice Bergeron, who was helped off the ice after a collision. The injury appeared to be to Bergeron's head or neck.

Joni Pitkanen and Ray Whitney scored for Carolina.

FLYERS 7, CAPITALS 1: At Philadelphia, Scott Hartnell scored three goals, Jeff Carter added a pair, and Antero Niittymaki stopped a season-high 47 shots as Philadelphia snapped Washington's five game winning streak.

Hartnell notched his fifth career hat trick by scoring three times in the third period. Carter, who added two assists, has 24 goals — tying him with Buffalo's Thomas Vanek for the NHL lead.

Joffrey Lupul added a goal and three assists, and Simon Gagne also scored for the Flyers, who are unbeaten in regulation in their last 11 home games (9-0-2).

Brooks Laich scored for the Capitals, who had won seven of eight.

RED WINGS 6, KINGS 4: At Detroit, Dan Cleary scored with 1:34 left to break a tie and lift Detroit over Los Angeles.

Pavel Datsyuk and Jiri Hudler both had a goal and an assist, and Andreas Lilja, Mikael Samuelsson and Kris Draper added goals for the Red Wings. Nicklas Lidstrom had three assists, and Ty Conklin made 22 saves.

Dustin Brown and Kyle Calder had a goal and an assist each and Trevor Lewis and Alexander Frolov also scored for Los Angeles. Jarret Stoll had two assists, and Jonathan Quick made 30 saves.

THRASHERS 4, LIGHTNING 3: At Atlanta, Kari Lehtonen gave up goals on the first two shots he faced in his first game in seven weeks, but didn't let another puck get past him until late in Atlanta's win over Tampa Bay.

Lehtonen, out since Oct. 30 due to a back injury, made 36 saves — including 31 straight. His return helped lift Atlanta to its fourth win in 16 games. Slava Kozlov, Eric Perrin, Todd White and Joey Crabb scored for the Thrashers, who ended a seven-game losing streak at home.
