Game Thoughts:
The Flyers have had 3 days off. The Flyers need to snap out of a funk. The Flyers need this game more. The Bruins will win this game. Boston is just simply a well-oiled machine, and it showed this weekend with impressive wins over New York and Montreal. Philly does not match up well with this team.
Prediction: Bruins 4, Flyers 2
