BOSTON (AP) David Pastrnak had two goals and an assist, Trent Frederic added two assists and the Boston Bruins held off the Arizona Coyotes 5-3 on Saturday.

Charlie Coyle also scored for Boston and Kevin Shattenkirk got his 99th career goal as the Bruins won for the fourth time in five games and improved to 10-2-1 at home.

Trailing 3-0, Arizona got back-to-back goals from Clayton Keller and Michael Carcone 32 seconds apart early in the second period. They never got closer as Linus Ullmark finished with 31 saves.

ā€œTheyā€™re a good team offensively and they can make you pay. I thought we regrouped really well," Shattenkirk said. ā€œWe stuck with it, got back to our gameplan and got that fourth and fifth goal at the right time.ā€

Ullmark came up with a pair of stops just outside the goal line late in an Arizona power play and Pastrnak sealed it with his second goal of the game, beating Connor Ingram with a wrist shot with 5:31 left in the third.

ā€œOur execution was a little bit below average, but Linus played great,ā€ Frederic said.

Danton Heinen also scored for Boston.

Ingram stopped 24 shots for Arizona, which kicked off a three-game road trip with its second straight loss following a five-game winning streak. The Coyotes went 0-for-5 on the power play.

ā€œI think they just capitalized on our mistakes. We got off to a good start. There were good moments,ā€ Carcone said. ā€œI thought we played a pretty solid game overall. Itā€™s just when we had those mental collapses they took advantage of it.ā€

Pastrnak scored his 15th of the season when he skated the puck out from behind the net, delayed and beat Ingram with a wrist shot 15:22 of the first period. Coyle redirected a crossing pass from Frederic for his 10th goal of the season and a 2-0 lead less than a minute later.

ā€œI was just trying to plant myself there and he fired it,ā€ Coyle said. ā€œThere was a stick there, but he still made a great pass and I honestly didnā€™t do much with it.ā€

Shattenkirk made it 3-0 early in the second period on a power play, one-timing a pass from Pastrnak.

Keller beat Ullmark with a wrist shot from the left circle 2:50 into the second, then Carcone grabbed the puck after a turnover just outside the Arizona zone and beat Ullmark with another wrister from the same circle.

Frederic picked up his second assist with a pass that set up Heinenā€™s goal from the slot that put Boston back up 4-2 9:12 into the second period.

The Bruins were without injured defenseman Charlie McAvoy and lost center Pavel Zacha early in the game to an undisclosed upper-body injury.
