Daily News | Flyers handed a harsh reality check in 6-0 loss to the Bruins
, have been able to add some solid wins to their resume. But their 6-0 loss to the Boston Bruins on Monday afternoon proved there’s a talent gap that hard work can’t overcome.
Pastrňák’s power-play goal to open the third period made it the Flyers’ worst deficit, five goals down, of the year. With momentum completely in the Bruins’ favor, Matt Grzelcyk then scored a sixth goal during a four-on-four at the 8:02 mark of the final frame. While the Flyers had spells with the puck in the offensive zone, their shots were limited to the perimeter. The quality of their shots was reflected in their final goal tally: zero. On top of low-danger initial shots, they weren’t able to create many rebounds, nor were they in a position to pounce on their limited second-chance opportunities.
The Flyers goaltender was pulled after 12 saves on 16 shots, but none of the goals Hart let in were necessarily soft goals or bad reads by him.
