Thursday night seemed like a replay of Tuesday night’s game against Winnipeg. The Bruins held a 2-1 lead heading into the third period. While Bruce Cassidy humbly gave credit to the Flyers, recognizing their now six-game winning streak, he described the 3-2 overtime loss as “self-inflicted.”
The play that was referenced first, was the Giroux goal.
McAvoy recovers the puck on the boards at the right blue line and heads towards the slot, where he shoots and misses the net. The play goes the other way and the Flyers only have Chara to beat, where there was no chance he was halting Giroux on the way to the net.
