CALGARY – Patrice Bergeron continued his torrid scoring on Friday night with a pair of goals to lead the Boston Bruins to a 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames.
The win was Boston’s 11th in 12 games.
Bergeron has scored 21 times in 32 games since returning from a lower-body injury on Dec. 9, an injury that sidelined him for seven games.
That ties him with Alex Ovechkin for the NHL’s second-most goals over the span, behind only Auston Matthews of Toronto (25).
Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle also scored for Boston (39-11-12), which opened up a five-point lead on Tampa Bay atop the NHL’s overall standings.
David Pastrnak chipped in a pair of assists.
The Bruins wrap up their four-game road trip on Saturday night in Vancouver.
Mikael Backlund had a pair of goals and Johnny Gaudreau also scored for Calgary (31-25-6), which opened the night clinging to the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
The Flames head out on a five-game road trip that begins on Sunday in Detroit, before meeting up with the Bruins again on Tuesday.
