BOSTON — Half of Boston's defensemen are sidelined with injuries, but the Flyers couldn't take advantage Thursday night at TD Garden.

The 33-year-old goalie, coming off a dismal season with the New York Islanders, continued his torrid start as the Bruins defeated the Flyers, 3-0.

Halak stopped 26 shots, and he was particularly effective in the game-turning second period.

The Flyers, blanked for the second time in the young season, have lost nine of the last 10 games (1-7-2) they have played in Boston.
