The Boston Bruins are third in the NHL in goals scored and tops on the power play, along with an improving defense. Boston comes off a loss at the Rangers blowing a late lead, so the team is an angry bounce-back mode. Boston has one of the league's best road records at 12-4-3, and is 11-5 when playing on one day of rest. Goalie Tukka Rask is 6-0-1 with a 2.10 GAA in his last seven against the Flyers. The Bruins are also 39-16 against the Metropolitan Division. They face a Philadelphia team that has plenty of holes - #28th in goals scored and on the power play, plus #16 in goals allowed. Rookie defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere is out with a lower-body injury and Philly is among the worst in the NHL with a 78.7 penalty-kill percentage. The Bruins are 17-5 in the last 22 meetings, 20-8-2 at Philadelphia. Take Boston.
