New Jersey (8-7-1) grabbed a 1-0 lead on David Clarkson's goal midway through the second period but Chris Kelly tied the score four minutes later.
Brad Marchand netted six seconds into the third period to put the Bruins 2-1 up, before a double from New Jersey's Nick Palmieri and a goal from Boston's Shawn Thornton left the score tied at 3-3 heading into the closing minutes.
Benoit Pouliot then popped up to score the game-winner with three minutes remaining after he had been asked to sit out the team's previous game on Saturday.
"I did chat with (Pouliot) the other night and explain to him some of the things we were kind of looking for," Boston coach Claude Julien told reporters.
"It was nice to see him respond quickly. It obviously says a lot about (his) character."
The Bruins had been led during their streak by 19-year-old Tyler Seguin, who entered the night with seven goals in his last four games, but he was held scoreless and his team mates stepped in to pick up the slack.
Boston have scored 34 goals in their six games this month and conceded just 13.
