Philly Leader

The Philadelphia Flyers, led by coach John Tortorella, will face the Boston Bruins under Jim Montgomery on Tuesday evening. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. EDT at TD Garden and will be broadcasted on NBCSP and 97.5 The Fanatic with an online simulcast on Flyers Radio 24/7.

This matchup marks the first of three games between these teams this season. They will meet again on Saturday at Wells Fargo Center, and the series will conclude in Boston on December 7.

The Flyers enter the game after a weekend split, having defeated the Minnesota Wild 7-5 and lost to the Montreal Canadiens 4-3. In contrast, the Bruins are coming off a victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime, which ended their three-game losing streak.

Key points for Tuesday's game include Owen Tippett's recent offensive surge for the Flyers, contributing five points in his last three games. Additionally, Ryan Poehling has been effective with four assists through nine games.

With Cam York sidelined due to injury, Travis Sanheim and Rasmus Ristolainen have stepped up as a defensive pairing for Philadelphia. Their performances over the past weekend were crucial for both offense and defense.

Emil Andrae is expected to continue playing following his season debut against Montreal. Jamie Drysdale is another player who could significantly impact if he can contribute offensively against Boston.

Shift management remains an area of focus for Philadelphia as they work to improve puck possession and minimize closely spaced goals against them.

For Boston, David Pastrnak poses a constant threat with six goals this season. Newcomers Mark Kastelic and Cole Koepke have also made notable contributions early in their Bruins tenure.
