Hall's third period goal lifts Bruins to victory over Jets

WINNIPEG — Taylor Hall scored a power-play goal with 4:47 left in the third period to help lift the Boston Bruins to a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday.

Hall took advantage of a bouncing puck in front of the net and put a rebound past goalie Connor Hellebuyck for his 13th goal of the season that broke a 2-2 tie.
