The Philadelphia Flyers were already in for a significant couple of games against the Boston Bruins in this early-season series. With the relatively easy competition of a Pittsburgh Penguins team that just laid there and took a beating, and a Buffalo Sabres team, that, well, are the Buffalo Sabres, the Flyers had it pretty easy in their first four games of the season.
Now heading to Boston, this would have normally been a glimpse into what Philadelphia can look like against a stronger opponent.
Well, that was before forward Morgan Frost and Philippe Myers left Tuesday night’s game with injuries.
