Jimmy Hayes, Joe Morrow, Brett Connolly and Brad Marchand also scored for Boston, which had lost its first four homes games (0-3-1). Hayes, Loui Eriksson and Matt Beleskey each had two assists.
Mike Smith stopped 21 shots for the Coyotes, who played their fifth road game in eight days, finishing their trip at 2-2-1.
