First Period


The opening period saw the Bruins take an early lead with two goals. Despite their efforts, the Flyers were unable to find the back of the net. The Broad Street Bullies struggled with giveaways and missed shots, which hindered their offensive momentum.


Second Period


In a spirited second period, Philadelphia managed to score twice, showcasing their powerplay prowess. Travis Konecny was instrumental in this surge with his goal and assist contribution. However, Boston responded fiercely with three goals of their own, maintaining control over the game.

The final period witnessed both teams adding one more goal each to their tally. Matvei Michkov's performance was notable as he scored for Philadelphia during even strength play. Yet again, Casey Mittelstadt from Boston shone brightly as he continued his scoring streak.


Throughout this encounter between these two storied franchises, Jeremy Swayman stood tall in goal for Boston with 33 saves out of 36 shots faced — an impressive feat that earned him recognition among fans present at TD Garden.
