Trent Frederic had two goals and an assist to lead the Boston Bruins to a 5-3 road win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.

Charlie Coyle scored a tiebreaking goal early in the third period and Charlie McAvoy added three assists for the Bruins.

Jake Walman, Ben Chiarot and J.T. Compher all scored for Detroit.

With the game tied at 2-2, Boston won an offensive-zone faceoff and McAvoy fed a pass to Coyle, who fired a shot from in between the faceoff circles past Detroit goalie Alex Lyon with 16:08 remaining.

Detroit pulled Lyon with a little less than 2:30 remaining in the game, but Jake DeBrusk scored an empty-net goal with 2:01 left to give Boston a 4-2 lead.

Detroit was awarded a power play with 1:30 remaining and pulled Lyon again to create a 6-on-4 situation. The Red Wings capitalized when Compher banged home a rebound with 1:22 left to make it 4-3 Bruins.

The Red Wings again pulled Lyon, but Boston sealed the game on an empty-net goal by Pavel Zacha with 24 seconds left.

Lyon made 19 saves for the Red Wings, while Boston netminder Jeremy Swayman stopped 26 shots.

Boston took a 1-0 lead with 51.8 seconds left in the first period on a goal by Frederic, who skated in alone on the Detroit goal and placed a backhand shot underneath the crossbar.

With 15:35 left in the second period, Frederic scored again to make it 2-0 Bruins after he fired a wrist shot from the top of the right circle in between Lyon's pads.

Detroit cut Boston's lead to 2-1 with 6:59 remaining in the second period on a goal by Walman, who found room near the top of the left circle and fired a shot past Swayman.

The Red Wings then tied the game at 2-2 with 3:18 to go in the second when Chiarot rifled a shot from the top of the left circle through traffic and into the goal.
