PITTSBURGH: Mark Recchi scored late in the third quarter to cap a frantic Boston rally in the final 3½ minutes as the Bruins beat the Sidney Crosby-less Penguins 4-2 in the NHL Monday. Boston trailed 2-0 when Zdeno Chara scored a power-play goal on slap shot from the right point to start the rally at 16:37, and Brad Marchand scored 12 seconds later to level the game. After Jordan Staal drew a holding penalty, Recchi gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead with his 200th power-play goal. Gregory Campbell then added an empty-netter in the final moments. It was the second dramatic comeback for the Bruins in Pittsburgh this season. Boston trailed 4-2 on Nov. 10 before scoring five goals in the third to win 7-4. Pittsburgh is 0-2-1 without Crosby, who is out with a concussion. The timing of his return is uncertain. Coyotes 4, Blues 3: In St. Louis, Taylor Pyatt scored the go-ahead goal on a wraparound with 3:12 to go in Phoenix's victory over St. Louis. Kyle Turris scored a goal to level the game at 3-3 and assisted on Pyatt's 10th goal of the season, a play that caught Jaroslav Halak and the St. Louis defense off guard. Matt D'Agostini and Brad Winchester scored in a 20-second span early in the third to give St. Louis a 3-2 lead. Winchester, who plays on the checking line, has scored in three straight games for the first time in his career. Stempniak ended a 15-game goal drought for the Coyotes, who have won three of four. Avalanche 5, Red Wings 4: In Denver, Matt Duchene scored twice in Colorado's four-goal first period and Peter Budaj stopped 26 shots, helping the Avalanche halt Detroit's three-game winning streak. Maple Leafs 3, Kings 2: In Los Angeles, Nikolai Kulemin scored the go-ahead goal with 15:02 to play and James Reimer made 30 saves as Toronto won its fourth straight road game by topping spiraling Los Angeles. Phil Kessel and Darryl Boyce scored 34 seconds apart in the second period for the Maple Leafs.
