The Flyers rebounded quickly though, after a point shot from Rasmus Ristolainen was deflected wide, Cam Atkinson found an open Derick Brassard in front who beat Ullmark and made it a 2-1 Bruins lead. A point shot from Derek Forbort deflected off of Braun’s stick and by Martin Jones, which is in itself flukey but the lack of intensity and inability to win puck battles is the reason Boston went up 2-0. Much like the first period, Boston came out firing and their top line got it done immediately. Yet just as it looked like they might be able to come out of the first tied, Nick Seeler lost a puck battle, Keith Yandle fell, and Tomas Nosek was left uncovered in front and buried a backhanded top shelf. What actually happened was Pastrnak spinning and tripping over Braun because of said spin, but you know how it goes.īut thanks to some good saves by Martin Jones, some key puck battles won, and even a shorthanded bid for Giroux, the Flyers killed off both penalties. Just as the Flyers were about to kill off the first penalty, Justin Braun “tripped” David Pastrnak. But, just as the Flyers were garnering some momentum, Claude Giroux took a penalty sending Boston to the man advantage, featuring a plethora of talent.
The entries were generally poor/uncontrolled, and even when they did get set up, no truly dangerous chances came from it.Įven though they didn’t score, the power play did seem to give them a little juice as the forecheck began to really force the Bruins into mistakes. Claude Giroux made a nice move entering the offensive zone to draw a trip giving the Flyers their first power play of the game, but as expected they failed to convert. The Bruins started this game strong, easily getting the upper hand in controlling play over the first four and a half minutes.
