Paul MacLean capped a three-man rush at 14:38 of the third period with his 29th goal of the season Thursday night at Winnipeg, lifting the Jets to a 4-3 victory over Vancouver. It was the sixth straight loss for the Canucks.

Vancouver (21-40-7) remained in last place in the Smythe Division. The Kings, who were idle, stayed six points ahead of the Canucks.

At 6:25, Laurie Boschman had tied the score, 3-3, with Winnipeg’s 93rd power-play goal of the year. Boschman trapped Peter Taglianetti’s drive form the point and backhanded the puck past goaltender Frank Caprice.

Randy Gilhen cut the Vancouver lead to 3-2 at 3:55 of the third period when he poked in Mario Marois’s rebound.

Calgary 6, Philadelphia 3--Hakan Loob scored four goals to power the Flames over the Flyers, halting the Flyers’ five-game winning streak.

Boston 5, Toronto 3--Reed Larson converted a pass from Geoff Courtnall with 2:15 remaining to snap a 3-3 tie and lift the Bruins past the Maple Leafs at the Boston Garden.
