Boston Bruins at Philadelphia Flyers
· National Hockey LeagueJoonas Korpisalo makes 20 saves as Bruins shut out Flyers 3-0
Matthew Poitras, Justin Brazeau and Brad Marchand scored for Boston, who won for just the second time in its last six games.
Korpisalo was especially active in the second period, making several athletic saves to keep the Flyers off the scoreboard and end Philadelphia's two-game winning streak.
Poitras opened the scoring for the Bruins midway through the first period when he backhanded his first goal of the season from a tough angle on the side of the net past Aleksei Kolosov.
Kolosov made 20 saves in relief of Sam Ersson, who left with an undisclosed injury in the first period.
Brazeau extended the lead to 2-0 at 11:23 of the second when he snapped a shot from the right circle past Kolosov.
Marchand, who assisted on Brazeau's tally, added an empty-net goal to cap the scoring.
Flyers: Morgan Frost was thought to be a guy the Flyers would want to pair with rookie sensation Matvei Michkov to create offense this season. It hasn't worked out and Frost isn't even playing on the same line. Frost hasn't scored a goal this season and had two chances Saturday that went awry. One hit the post and another was stopped on a sprawling save by Korpisalo.
Flyers: Off until Tuesday when they begins a three-game road trip in Carolina.
