The Flyers pulled out a rare-as-of-late victory in TD Garden thanks to Tyson Foerster’s second period goal, Sam Ersson’s 24-save shutout, and the moral support of the Flyers’ mothers.
It’s the first regulation win for the Flyers in Boston in 13 years (since October 6, 2011), a stretch of time that has seen sustained success for the Bruins—a run of success that could possibly be coming to an end this season. Boston drops to 4-5-1 and their struggles are likely best summed up by the Garden crowd’s reaction for most of the final minute-and-a-half: continuous, audible booing.
The real story for the Flyers was Sam Ersson.
