COMMENTARY
The one step forward and two steps back trend continues on Causeway St.
The Boston Bruins entered Monday’s tilt with the Philadelphia Flyers fresh off their biggest offensive outburst of the season against the Pittsburgh Penguins two days prior.
Bruce Cassidy’s squad carried over that momentum into the first 40 minutes of play, taking a 2-1 lead into the second intermission. But the Flyers, still searching for their first win against the Black and Gold, persevered.
Boston’s offense hit a dry spell after Patrice Bergeron’s power-play marker against a Flyers D ranked 31st in goals allowed coming into Monday.
