Boston would garner the first scoring chance of the afternoon with a Charlie Coyle bid, but Carter Hart turned aside the chance a little over four minutes in.
The Bruins owned the early play, taking five of the first six shots of the game as the Flyers had issues breaking through the neutral zone with any regularity.
Anders Bjork provided a great chance for the Bruins after moving past Matt Niskanen along the wall, but Hart got a piece of the shot with 11:12 left in the first though Boston would earn a power play on the sequence.
