Michael Houser blocked 30 shots, emerging victorious in a second straight start.

Claude Giroux had two goals for the Flyers, the other coming from Rasmus Ristolainen. Martin Jones allowed four goals on eight shots, then Carter Hart gave up twice on 16 shots.

Goalkeeper Tuukka Rask (40) celebrates his victory with Charlie McAvoy (73) and Patrice Bergeron (37).

David Pastrnak broke the tie in the third period and the Boston Bruins defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Saturday.

Pastrnak got his 19and goal of the season at 3:59, on the power play. He has 10 goals in 10 games.

Charlie Coyle and Oskar Steen also scored for Boston, which is 10-2 in 2022.

Tuukka Rask made 21 saves. It was his third start since rejoining the Bruins this month.

Brad Marchand was in uniform. The Bruins’ leading scorer left in the second period Thursday against Washington, apparently injured in the right shoulder.

Andrew Copp and Jansen Harkins fought back for the Jets, who were losing a third straight game. Conner Hellebuyck stopped 29 shots.

The Jets were in Game 7 of an eight-game road trip.

They will go home after a game in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
