Boston Bruins vs Philadelphia Flyers: Preview

Boston is coming off a blowout loss to Carolina as the Bruins haven't been playing well as of late. The Bruins are 1-5 in their last six games, which included a 2-0 home loss to Philadelphia on Tuesday.

“Their puck pressure gave us a lot of problems," Boston coach Jim Montgomery said of the struggles, via NHL.com. "The bottom line is, it doesn’t matter what facet of our game it was, it wasn’t good enough. Right now, nobody is happy with what’s going on. It starts by sticking together and working. There’s no substitute for second and third effort.”

The Boston Bruins have been led by David Pastrnak who has 10 points, Mark Kastelic, Cole Koepke, and Brad Marchand all have 7 points.

Philadelphia, meanwhile, is on a two-game winning streak. The Flyers offense has struggled this season as well. Philadelphia is led by Travis Konecny who has 10 points, Matvei Michkov has 9 points, while Sean Couturier, Joel Farabee, and Owen Tippett have 6 points each.
