PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Boston rookie Patrice Bergeron scored an unassisted goal late in the second period in the Bruins’ 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 on Thursday night.

Bergeron, who also had an assist, snapped a 2-2 tie when he picked up the puck in his defensive zone, skated untouched to the right circle, and fired a wrist shot high over goalie Sean Burke’s outstretched glove.

Hal Gill, Rob Zamuner, and Glen Murray also scored to help the Bruins move into a second-place tie with Ottawa in the Northeast Division.

John LeClair scored twice and Simon Gagne added a goal for the Flyers, who dropped their third straight game, the team’s longest losing streak since losing four straight from Jan. 8-13.

Before the game, the Flyers acquired center Alexei Zhamnov and a fourth-round pick in the June draft from the Chicago Blackhawks for defenseman Jim Vandermeer, the rights to unsigned draft choice Colin Fraser, and a second-round pick.

The teams traded bad goals in a 15-second span early in the first period, then traded a pair of shaky rebound goals later in the period.

At 4:01, Gill threw the puck toward the net from the boards. The puck kicked off Philadelphia defenseman Marcus Ragnarsson’s skate and bounced off Burke’s glove into the goal.

Gagne made it 1-1 at 4:16 when he beat Boston goalie Felix Potvin high to the glove side with a wrist shot.

Zamuner put the Bruins ahead at 10:37 when he hammered in a rebound of a shot by Brian Rolston.

LeClair tied in at 15:36 when he flicked in a shot by Kim Johnsson that Potvin failed to cover.

Murray scored a power play goal on a rebound 31 seconds into the third period, and LeClair cut it to 4-3 at 15:23.

Notes: Boston played the sixth game of a seven-game road trip, its longest of the season. The Bruins are 4-0-0-2 and wrap up the trip at Carolina on Saturday. … Gill’s goal was his first in 24 games and only his second of the season. … The Bruins haven’t lost in regulation since being beaten by Florida on Jan. 24. They are 8-0-1-2 since then.
