The visiting Boston Bruins scored twice in a 3:20 span in the third period to turn around a one-goal deficit en route to a 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings in a crucial matchup between Atlantic Division rivals on Saturday night.

Nikita Zadorov scored the eventual game-winner with 10:18 remaining to lift Boston (39-23-8, 86 points), which improved to 3-0-2 in its last five.

David Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm each registered a goal and an assist, Marat Khusnutdinov also scored, Morgan Geekie had three assists and Charlie McAvoy two.

Jeremy Swayman backstopped the victory, making 41 saves.

Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat lit the lamp and John Gibson made 23 saves for Detroit (38-24-8, 84 points), which had been on a 2-0-1 run.

The teams entered Saturday’s game in a tie for the two Eastern Conference wild-card playoff positions, while the Montreal Canadiens held the No. 3 slot in the division by virtue of a better points percentage.

Lindholm netted the game-tying goal for 2-2 at 6:22 of the third period. After Mason Lohrei kept the puck in at the blue line, Geekie fired a cross-ice pass to Lindholm to slot home five-hole on Gibson from the bottom of the left circle.

Aided by another Geekie pass, Zadorov’s winner followed on an off-angle wrister coming down the left wing.

Gibson kick-saved Lukas Reichel’s penalty shot with 6:08 left in regulation to give Detroit some life, but Swayman stood tall in the final minutes and Khusnutdinov scored an empty-netter with 1:52 to go to preserve the win.

Detroit was held without a shot for more than 12 minutes to begin the game, but finished at 10-10 advantage following a scoreless first period. J.T. Compher narrowly missed making it a 1-0 lead before intermission, as his rebound bid slid past Swayman just after the final tenth of a second expired off the clock before intermission.

The hosts officially drew first blood 3:35 into the middle frame. Raymond cashed in on another man-up sequence, burying a one-time goal from the bottom of the left circle off Andrew Copp’s cross-ice feed.

Pastrnak responded with a game-tying, power-play goal at 5:07. The star winger blasted a one-timer from the left side after receiving McAvoy’s feed from the top of the formation.

DeBrincat put the Wings back in front at 4:06 of the second, slipping down to the top of the left circle to slot a high wrister past Swayman.

Logan Farrington scored twice in the opening 14 minutes, Petar Musa scored a late winner in the 86th minute in a rare appearance off the bench, and FC Dallas earned a 4-3 victory over the 10-man Houston Dynamo on Saturday night in Frisco, Texas.

Musa also helped create the second-half equalizer — an own goal off Houston’s Duane Holmes — after his halftime entrance for Dallas (2-1-2, 8 points), which earned its first win since its season opener on Feb. 21.

Guilherme scored his fourth goal and assisted tallies from Erik Sviatchenko and Lawrence Ennali for Houston (2-2-0, 6 points) in its first road match of the season.

But Sviatchenko was dismissed in the 68th minute for his second booking, becoming the fourth Dynamo player to receive his marching orders this season.

After scoring five times in Dallas’ first four matches, Musa was not listed on the league’s availability report for the weekend yet began the night unexpectedly outside the starting lineup.

And while it worked out well early, by halftime Dallas manager Eric Quill found his side trailing 3-2 and summoned his Croatian striker.

He immediately provided an impact, helping Dallas pull level in the 54th minute.

Herman Johansson took down a bouncing ball on the right flank, then played the ball up the side for Musa to run onto. Musa dribbled into the box and then tried to drag a cross toward the penalty spot, one that caromed off Holmes and over the line.

The goal was originally ruled offside, but was overturned following a video review.

Just under a half-hour later, Musa showed up again on the same right side, this time to finish off Joaquine Valiente’s tantalizing inswinging service at the back post with a one-touch volley after outmuscling his defender.

Guilherme helped turn Houston’s two-goal deficit into a one-goal advantage in the space of four minutes.

In the 29th minute, he intercepted Dallas goalkeeper Michael Collodi’s wayward pass and turned it into a simple finish before the goalkeeper could recover.

In the 31st, his outswinging corner found Sviatchenko at the back post for a clear header Collodi had little chance of saving.

He capped off the remarkable individual stretch in the 33rd when he found Ennali running in behind around the edge of the Dallas back line with a perfect throughball.

Los Angeles FC continued its unbeaten and unscored-upon streak to begin the season as it played host Austin FC to a scoreless draw on Saturday.

Both goalkeepers earned clean sheets while saving a combined three shots. LAFC’s Hugo Lloris (two saves) earned his fifth shutout of the campaign and extended his stretch without allowing a goal to 450 minutes while Austin’s Brad Stuver (one save) posted his second clean sheet of the year and the 40th of his MLS career.

LAFC (4-0-1, 13 points) have outscored their opponents 8-0 while earning points in their first five matches of the season and continuing the best start to a season in team history.

Austin FC (1-2-2, 5 points) heads to the year’s first international break on a three-game winless streak.

Los Angeles had the best scoring chances of the game, two of which came in the final minutes. First, Mark Delgado ripped a shot from well outside the box past Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver in the 85th minute that clanged off the crossbar and then out of harm’s way.

A minute later, LAFC’s Son Heung-Min sprinted down the pitch and into the goal mouth before Austin defender Brendan Hines-Ike literally stole the ball off his right foot as Son attempted his shot.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Los Angeles forced Stuver into his only save when Denis Bouanga ripped a shot on net.

Myrto Uzuni had Austin’s final shot on goal four minutes into second-half stoppage time, testing Lloris with a high, twisting shot four minutes which he was forced to leap to bat away. Lloris has now stopped all 16 shots he’s faced this season

LAFC was playing their third game in eight days and was worse for wear, going the entire first half without producing a shot on target while being out-possessed 58%-42% and finishing the opening 45 minutes with a 200-pass discrepancy (368-168).

The Verde didn’t have weariness as an excuse but also did not place a shot on goal in a sluggish first half.
