On most nights during the Bruins’ current winning streak, they have been in control from start to finish and almost made the victories look easy. Last night’s game against the Phoenix Coyotes, however, was the exception. The Bruins had to scratch and claw all night in a nasty, physical game, but in the end they prevailed, thanks in large part to their four-line attack. Jarome Iginla scored a gutsy goal, staring down the barrel of a Zdeno Chara slap shot to deflect the puck home and tie it at 3:48 of the third period. Then Shawn Thornton got the game-winner — his first goal since Jan.28 — with 3:18 left in regulation with a deflection of a Daniel Paille shot. Iginla added an empty netter and the B’s walked away from Jobing Arena with a 4-2 victory to post their 12th consecutive victory. “It’s been fun,” said Iginla of the streak. “We go into each game with the same approach. We know a lot of teams are trying to end it, too. We know how it is on the other side.
