Bruins Lose to Flyers, 3-2, in Overtime

3 Stars of the Game

Travis Sanheim, Brian Elliott, and Patrice Bergeron were the three stars announced following the game by the league. Here are Causeway Crowd’s stars.

1. Dan Vladar

Despite suffering the loss in between the pipes, Vladar once again gave his team a chance to win the game with his play. Of the 29 saves, he robbed Travis Konecny and Sanheim in the second period with saves seconds apart. With the Bruins trailing 1-0 in the first period, Philadelphia nearly doubled their lead, but Vladar stoned Sanheim and Scott Laughton with two pad saves. His best save was in the second period when Justin Braun on a breakaway keeping the game tied.

2. Patrice Bergeron

Bergy led the Bruins in shots on the net, won 74-percent of his faceoffs, and redirected Pastrnak’s pass on the power play for a goal. Bergeron, Marchand, and Smith seems like a combination to keep together for a while longer.

3. Nick Ritchie

Ritchie had a couple of chances offensively but was stopped by Elliott. He finished with four shots on the net and four hits. He narrowly missed two deflections on the Bruins’ second power play at the doorstep. Like the first-line, the second-line is starting to get some chemistry and Ritchie has looked good in the last couple of games.

With the series shifting to Philadelphia tonight, the Bruins will look to somehow, someway, get two points in the standings before heading to Washington Thursday night.
