For the second straight night, the Philadelphia Flyers dressed a clearly-deficient lineup compared to the club they were facing.
And for the second straight night, the Flyers were blown out in preseason action.
In fairness to the Flyers, this one wasn’t a blowout for most of the contest; in fact, the score was tied through 45 minutes of play. Then, the lineup disparity and the fatigue of playing in back-to-back games (with travel) caught up with them, as the Boston Bruins piled on four third period goals en route to a 5-1 victory.
The outcome, of course, matters little. The Flyers will almost certainly dress far better lineups in front of their home crowd on Thursday and Saturday in their final preseason games. What matters much more, however, is the status of presumptive No. 1 goalie — and 2025-26 team MVP — Dan Vladar.
