As they attempt to round into playoff form, the Boston Bruins know they’ll receive every team’s best during the final few weeks.
On Saturday, the Bruins nearly had the Philadelphia Flyers on the ropes after seemingly taking their best shots in the first 40 minutes.
Jim Montgomery’s squad pushed back both on the scoreboard and the physicality. They countered a Ryan Poheling 2-on-1 marker off a David Pastrnak turnover with a Morgan Geekie blast in the first.
They also responded to Joel Farabee’s second-period tip with Charlie Coyle’s equalizer for his first of two of the evening.
