ST. LOUIS - David Krejci had two goals and two assists and the Boston Bruins snapped out of a scoring funk to beat the St. Louis Blues 6-5 Friday night and hang onto third place in the Atlantic Division.

Loui Eriksson got his 500th career point with a goal and an assist and Patrice Bergeron scored his 30th this season for the Bruins, who totalled 10 goals while dropping six of their previous seven games. They're a point ahead of Detroit, which beat Minnesota 3-2, with four games remaining.

Paul Stastny had a goal and an assist and Alexander Steen and David Backes each had two assists for the Blues. St. Louis ended a five-game winning streak, during which it allowed one goal and recorded for consecutive shutouts. The Blues are second overall in the Western Conference with 101 points and have four games to go.

BLACKHAWKS 5, JETS 4, OT

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Brent Seabrook scored 1:02 into overtime after Artemi Panarin tied it late in the third period with his second goal of the game, and Chicago beat Winnipeg.

Panarin also had two assists, including when he orchestrated a 2-on-1 with Seabrook in overtime. Panarin passed across the slot to the defenceman, and Seabrook beat Ondrej Pavelec with a shot inside the near post.

Patrick Kane and Brandon Mashinter also scored for the Blackhawks, who sneaked away winners in a game with four lead changes.

Earlier Friday, Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith was suspended six games for high-sticking Minnesota Wild forward Charlie Coyle. Keith will miss five regular season games and one post-season game.

Scott Darling had 28 saves for Chicago.

Blake Wheeler scored twice for Winnipeg and extended his point streak to seven games. Nic Petan and Dustin Byfuglien also scored.
