Philly Leader

The Flyers, with a 2-1-0 record in the preseason, will face the Boston Bruins at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday evening. The game starts at 7:00 p.m. EDT and will be televised on NBCSP+ or NHL Network, depending on your location.

Here are five things to watch for during the game:

1. A new combo with Michkov: Matvei Michkov has been practicing and playing with Morgan Frost and Owen Tippett. However, for this game, Michkov will skate on a line with Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny. This trio could potentially dominate.

2. Another look at Luchanko: Eighteen-year-old Jett Luchanko will play his third game of the preseason. He had a quiet night offensively in Thursday's win over the Islanders but played in various situations. On Saturday, he is expected to play alongside Joel Farabee and Bobby Brink.

3. Big follow-up for Farabee?: Joel Farabee had a four-point performance in the preseason opener against the Washington Capitals. He will also see time on Saturday as part of the second power play unit along with Luchanko, Couturier, Egor Zamula, and Anthony Richard.

4. On the 'Hunt': Rookie Hunter McDonald aims to make his NHL debut this season. He will pair up with veteran Rasmus Ristolainen for this game based on morning skate configurations.

5. A tall order for Fedotov: Goaltender Ivan Fedotov will make his second start of the preseason following Samuel Ersson's 37-save shutout on Thursday. Fedotov previously split time in a game against Washington, stopping 10 of 12 shots during his two periods of play.
