For one of the rare times during this early portion of the regular season, the Boston Bruins looked like a cohesive hockey club for 60 minutes.
From the opening puck drop up until the final horn, Jim Montgomery’s club sustained a healthy 200-foot effort.
While they encountered a couple of long defensive zone shifts during the middle frame, the Bruins limited their mishaps throughout Saturday’s tilt against the Philadelphia Flyers. More importantly, they established healthier habits in their attacking end, resulting in crisper passing, increased high-danger scoring chances and an opportunistic counterattack.
With another productive outing from Joonas Korpisalo and timely scoring from their middle-six, the Bruins earned a needed 3-0 victory.
