Notes
- Zach Senyshyn played just 7:38 on 12 shifts. It didn’t appear to be injury-related, but more than likely a message of some kind from coach Bruce Cassidy. Not good for someone looking to get bottom-six minutes.
- In what is becoming a common theme, Charlie McAvoy led the Bruins again with time-on-ice at 24:02, with three blocked shots and one dent on the right post after ripping a wrist shot off of it.
- Bergeron has a four-game point streak with his power play goal in the second period. He was looking to add to his stat line all night by leading the Bruins with six shots on the net. He also went 23-for-31 on faceoffs. Not bad.
- Philadelphia outshot the Bruins in the first period, 10-7, in the second period, 13-11, and in overtime, 4-1. Boston held a 10-5 shot advantage in the third. It felt like the Bruins should have had more overtime shots as it felt like they had some good offensive zone time.
- The Bruins’ new first line of Craig Smith, Bergeron, and Brad Marchand combined for eight shots on the net. The second-line on Pasternak, David Krejci, and Nick Ritchie combined for eight. Ritchie had four, while Pasta had three.
- Flyers’ defensemen Ivan Provorov finished with a game-high 25:57 of time-on-ice on 32 shifts and had two assists, on both regulation goals. Still, despite his play, the Flyers’ defensive zone coverage leads a lot to be desired.
