Flyers at Bruins Scoring, Breakdown

FInal Score:

Bruins 5, Flyers 1: Bruins see out the final minutes as a four goal third period lifts Boston to a second straight victory. Read a recap of the victory here.

Third Period:

Bruins 5, Flyers 1: Michael Eyssimont capped off the night with his second goal of the game as the Bruins scored their fourth in the third period.

Bruins 4, Flyers 1: Boston continues to plile it on in the third, as Elias Lindholm continued an impactful game with the team's third goal of the period. He drew the high-sticking that led to Geekie's go-ahead goal earlier this period.

Bruins 3, Flyers 1: Just three minutes after breaking the deadlock, the Bruins doubled the advantage with just over twelve minutes remaining in regulation. Brendan Gaunce won the draw clean back to Frederic Brunet who found Brian Halonen to make it 3-1.

Bruins 2, Flyers 1: After Ty Murchison was sent to the box for a high stick, Morgan Geekie put the Bruins back in front five minutes into the third period with a power play goal. The Bruins worked the puck left to right as Lindholm sent it to Pastrnak who found Geekie, with the forward burying his first preseason goal.

Second Period:

No goals for either side in the second period, Pastrnak had another oppurtunity with 40 seconds remaining but put his shot wide. Both offenses are slightly out of synch, which is not unexpected in the preseason.

Neither side have been able to find a second goal through the first half of the second period. David Pastrnak had the best look of anyone but couldn't hit the cage despite having an open shooting lane. Dans Locmelis has been a solid contributor in the offensive end despite the team's lack of offense, registering a pair of shots on goals and looking comfortable with the puck on his stick.

First Period:

Flyers 1, Bruins 1: After the Philadelphia power play failed to generate any significant threats, Jacob Gaucher took the zone shortly after it expired, cutting left to right through the Bruins' defenses and getting to the cage with ease. His goal equalized the score with just under two minutes remaining in the period, leaving a black mark on what was an otherwise promising twenty minutes for Boston.

Boston goes to the penalty kill for the first time tonight after David Pastrnak is whistled for a high stick. The forward was trying to create an opportunity while his line-mates were trying to get on the ice.

Aleksei Kolosov replaces Dan Vladar in net for Philadelphia. Vladar hobbled back to the net after conceding a goal 13:31 into the game. He appeared to injure himself trying to secure a loos puck that was eventually cycled to Brunet and led to the Bruin's goal

Bruins 1, Flyers 0: With Flyers' goalie Dan Vladar unable to retrieve his stick that he dropped earlier in the possession, Frederic Brunet fired a shot towards the net. Michael Eyssimont redirected the shot by Vladar for the first goal of the game. Both players are battling for a spot on the roster and looking to make an impact in the preseason to give themselves the best shot to break camp with Boston.

Boston Bruins had an early power play oppurtunity after Alex Bump is called for a tripping penalty but fail to convert. Boston recorded a pair of shots on the oppurtunity.
