A pair of early first-period goals by Jacob Forsbacka
Karlsson and Jake DeBrusk held up thanks to a 32-save performance by goalie
Jaroslav Halak as Boston topped host Arizona.
It did not matter that the Bruins were without a couple
of key players in Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara. They continue to dominate
the Coyotes, having won 13 consecutive meetings. The Coyotes last beat the
Bruins on Oct. 9, 2010.
Forsbacka Karlsson, one of Boston's rookies, stunned the
home crowd when he opened the scoring just 72 seconds into the affair with his

saves on 31 shots in defeat. The result extended a five-game winless streak for

tied the game at 2:40 of the third period.

including an empty-netter for his team's league-best 32nd third-period goal of
the season. Edmonton's Mikko Koskinen stopped 33 shots in defeat.

shots for his first shutout of the season to lead San Jose to victory over
visiting St. Louis.
Erik Karlsson and Evander Kane each had a goal and an
assist, Logan Couture finished with three assists and Timo Meier added two
assists for San Jose.
