The Flyers are going to take on Boston here in what will be a great game. The game is part of the round robin series, but it is one game that actually will make it one of the most interesting as both of these teams are playing towards the top of the NHL when the pause hit. Not to mention the Flyers were able to play well enough to get the wins that counted the most.

The Flyers were led offensively by Travis Konecny with 61 points with 24 goals in the lead. The passing leader for the Flyers was Jakub Voracek with 44 assist. David Pastrnak is coming into the game here leading the Bruins offense with 95 points overall, but also leads the Bruins in goals with 48 goals. The passing leader for the Bruins was Brad Marchand with 59 assist on the year.

The goalie who most likely will start for Philadelphia is Carter Hart with a 24-13-3 record. Hart during the regular season ended up allowing only 2.42 goals a game on the year, but ended up saving a total of 91.4% of the shots.

Tukka Rask is most likely the goalie for the Bruins in the game here. Rask during the regular season ended up posting a 26-8-6 record. When it comes to goals allowed Rask did really good giving up only 2.12 goals a game while saving 92.9% of the shots.

The game here will actually be a little bit of a defensive battle with just a smidge of offensive showcase. However, the true battle will show that the Flyers defense is unable to really come into the game here and bring out the win. Look for that to continue to be the case here as the Flyers defense is outmatched by the Bruins offense. Final Score Prediction, Boston Bruins win 3-1.
