Boston Bruins’ Patrice Bergeron celebrates his goal against the Vancouver Cancuks during the second period in Game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final hockey playoff in Vancouver, British Columbia June 15, 2011.)
Christian Post Report – Eastern Conference heavyweights collide as the Boston Bruins meet the Philadelphia Flyers at TD Garden in the National Hockey League. The game can be watched online through live stream (details below).
In what is a very intriguing matchup, these two teams are known for their rich histories and physical play.
Currently, the Bruins are eighth in the East, eight points behind the Washington Captials and holding a slim two-point lead over the Florida Panthers.
They recently lost to the Calgary Flames 4-3 but earned an important point after the match ended in a shootout.
However, they have been less than impressive when playing at TD Garden, only winning one in their last five home games.
Patrice Bergeron has been their most consistent player so far, with a total of 45 points in 62 total games played. Loui Eriksson is a far second with 36 points, with already 21 assists to his tally.
They are facing a Flyers squad who are also looking to regain some form after dropping three of their last five matches.
Their most recent win came against the St. Louis Blues where they were trailing for most of the math until three goals in a span of 10 minutes sealed their 3-1 victory at the Wells Fargo Center.
Jakub Voracek leads the team in points with 65 so far, with Claude Giroux close behind with 60.
The Bruins have dominated their head-to-head matchups in recent times, winning their last five meetings.
A 3-1 thrashing was their latest result, with David Pastrank scoring twice in the game and helped the Bruins take a 3-0 lead before Giroux’s consolation goal in the 55th minute of the match.
If the season ended today, Boston would have the last playoff spot, while the Flyers would miss out completely so a win would go a long way as the season heads to the final stretch.
