Farabee, Atkinson and Brassard share a line. The Flyers went 2-4-2 against the Bruins last season - allowing 3.88 goals per game - but Atkinson, Yandle, Jones and Derick Brassard are among the new players brought in to help lead them back to the playoffs. Jones spent the last six seasons with the San Jose Sharks and led them to the 2016 Stanley Cup Final. Jones stopped 37 shots in his first start of the season after signing a $2 million, one-year deal to serve as Carter Hart’s backup. The Flyers’ PA announcer had just said “last minute of play in the second period” when Brad Marchand knocked in his third goal of the season. Taylor Hall was all alone when he beat Martin Jones top shelf to cut it to 2-1. The Bruins scored twice in the third to tie it 3-all. It wasn't a lot of quantity but high quality.” We needed some saves there when we broke down. Clearly, he wasn't tonight,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. “He's not going to be perfect every night. Scott Laughton banged in the easy rebound. Keith Yandle banged a long outlet pass off the boards, James van Riemsdyk hustled down for the rebound and his shot knocked off Swayman. The Flyers stretched the lead to 3-1 only 2 minutes into the third on the sweetest goal of the game. Farabee, who signed a $30 million, six-year contract extension in the offseason, has a goal in all three games this season. “I wanted to pass but obviously I decided to shoot and good things happen when I shoot,” Atkinson said.įarabee pounced on loose puck in the crease and knocked it off Swayman’s stick for a 2-1 lead. The 76ers opened in New Orleans but were on the minds of Flyers’ fans when a rousing ”(Expletive) Ben Simmons!” started and reached a crescendo right as Karson Kuhlman scored in the first period.Ītkinson earlier snagged the puck at center ice and beat Swayman on a breakaway for a 1-0 lead.
In Boston, the Red Sox lost to Houston in Game 5 of the ALCS. No matter the outcome, each team was a distant second for overall interest in their respective city for the night. Travis Konecny beat Jeremy Swayman from the slot that made it 5-3 and had the crowd chanting “Let’s Go Flyers!” Sean Couturier knocked in an empty-netter, making it the second straight game the Flyers scored six goals.

Atkinson, acquired in a deal with Columbus, had the crowd going wild on his hustle-and-tumble goal only 58 seconds into the third for a 4-3 lead. The Flyers have won two straight since dropping the season opener and a revamped roster has paid early dividends. “It was just a good vibe.”Ītkinson scored two goals, including the go-ahead score that sent him tumbling into the boards, in the Flyers’ 6-3 victory over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night. “All the boys were howling," Atkinson said.
