Overview

• Bobby Brink converted the lone attempt of the tiebreaker to secure a 3-2 Flyers win at TD Garden.
• Dan Vladař turned aside key chances and then denied Casey Mittelstadt, David Pastrnak, and Pavel Zacha in the shootout.
• In regulation, Noah Cates and Rodrigo Ābols scored for Philadelphia, with Sean Kuraly and Morgan Geekie replying for Boston.
• Jeremy Swayman made 20 saves for the Bruins, but his second-period puck-handling error led to Cates’ goal before he settled in late.
• Coach Rick Tocchet praised the Foerster–Cates–Brink unit and team energy, while Boston’s Marco Sturm lauded structure but urged more pace from younger players as the Oct. 6 cutdown nears.
