Fraser Minten has a goal and two assists as Bruins roll past winless Flyers 5-1
Fraser Minten led the Boston Bruins to a convincing 5-1 victory over the struggling Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Aside from his goal and two assists, Pavel Zacha scored his maiden goal of the season, while Mason Lohrei, Marat Khusnutdinov, and Casey Mittelstadt also found the back of the net for Boston, who now boast a second straight win.
Jeremy Swayman, who started for the fifth time in the Bruins' first six games, was solid in goal, facing a mere three shots in the first 30 minutes and finishing with 14 saves. His effort was not enough to secure a shutout, however, as Porter Martone scored a power-play goal just six minutes into the final period.
Dan Vladar made 27 saves for the Flyers, who remain winless in the Eastern Conference. Top defenseman Charlie McAvoy served the final of his six-game suspension at the start of the season following a slashing incident during last spring's playoffs. The Bruins, who bounced back after a tough loss at Ottawa on Thursday, dominated the Flyers from the outset, leading 1-0 by the end of the first period.
