There’s one for the Flyers!
Without Oskar Lindblom and Carter Hart in the lineup, the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Boston Bruins for the first time this season. If there is a silver lining for the Bruins in defeat, it’s that they receive a point, too. Instead of being within striking distance of a playoff spot, the Flyers are three points behind Boston in the Mass Mutual Eastern Division standings. In the second of a back-to-back, they have a chance to inch closer.
To echo the sentiments of Claude Giroux on Saturday, Philadelphia capitalized on their momentum.
