       BOSTON (AP) – Dougie Hamilton had a goal and two assists during a third-period flurry that sent the streaking Boston Bruins to a 5-2 win over the skidding Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

        The Bruins scored three times in a span of 2:34 to erase a 2-1 deficit on the way to their fourth straight victory. Boston won its 13th in a row against the Oilers, who have not beaten the Bruins since Oct. 17, 2000.

        Tuukka Rask finished with 24 saves for Boston, which also got goals from Loui Eriksson, Carl Soderberg, Reilly Smith and Milan Lucic.

        Ben Scrivens made 27 saves for Edmonton, which lost its fourth consecutive game.

        Boyd Gordon scored in the first period and Mark Arcobello deposited a rebound 1:44 into the third to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead.
