Connolly's late 3rd-period goal lifts Bruins past Flyers

PHILADELPHIA - Brett Connolly redirected Zdeno Chara's shot from the point with 1:54 left, lifting the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night.

Connolly tipped the wobbly shot and one-hopped the puck past Michel Neuvirth for his seventh goal of the season.

Brad Marchand scored a goal for the fifth straight game and Patrice Bergeron also scored for the Bruins.

Boston's Tuukka Rask stopped 34 shots in his return from a late scratch Saturday night with an undisclosed injury.

The Flyers had staged third-period rallies in a pair of wins over the Bruins in the first two meetings this season. Wayne Simmonds nearly made it a third time with two straight goals, including one in the third that made it 2-all.
