BOSTON (AP) — Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron had two goals apiece for Boston as the Bruins, who hadn’t led by two goals in any of their first four games this season, scored five times in a row to pull away and beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-1 on Saturday night.
“That’s why he’s one of the best players in the league, and has been for the past 15 years,” Marchand said about Bergeron, who was elevated to captain when Zdeno Chara signed with the Washington Capitals. “He brings it every night.”
Charlie Coyle and new Bruins teammate Craig Smith each had a goal and an assist in the second period to break open a 1-1 tie.
