Daily News | Bruins breeze past Flyers, 4-1, to hand them their fifth straight loss
BOSTON — The Flyers have boasted one of the best goaltenders in the league to start the season in Carter Hart, who posted a 6-2-3 record and an impressive .929 save percentage through his first 11 games.
On the back of Ullmark , the Bruins pulled out a 4-1 victory over the floundering Flyers, who saw their losing streak extended to five games. Despite an evenly-matched, scoreless first period, the Bruins emerged the better team in the second and third periods. Boston outshot the Flyers 20-15 over the final 40 minutes of the game.
The Flyers didn’t totally throw in the towel after going down two goals. Winger Owen Tippett’s wrist shot from the top of the right face-off circle beat Ullmark to pull the Flyers within one with about 10 minutes to play. But just 16 seconds later, the Bruins pushed the game out of the Flyers’ reach when center David Krejčí capitalized on a Flyers defensive breakdown. Krejčí then rounded out the scoring with his second of the night on the power-play.
Defenseman Hampus Lindholm stickhandled through the neutral zone with ease, hardly shaken by the flailing sticks of wingers Scott Laughton and Konecny. Once he entered the offensive zone, the Bruins passed the puck seamlessly. Winger Nick Foligno carried the puck below the goal line and around the net, teeing up Nosek for an easy goal in the low slot with Hart out of position to put the Bruins up, 1-0.
