The Boston Bruins headed to the ‘City of Brotherly Love’ Wednesday night looking to erase the bitter taste left in their mouths left by an overtime loss to the hated Montreal Canadiens in their previous outing.
Sean Couturier and the Philadelphia Flyers had other plans.
Despite jumping out to an early 2-0 lead and outshooting the Flyers 42-19, the Bruins unraveled in nearly every aspect.
Couturier led Philadelphia’s furious comeback with a hat trick with his three goals coming on the heels of Oskar Lindbolm’s first period tally. Rookie goaltender Carter Hart made timely saves — 39 in all — to preserve the victory for the lowly Flyers.
