The Philadelphia Flyers come from two down to beat the Boston Bruins

“You can’t fill guys’ spots”. The video review showed the puck did not cross the goal line. Finishing the night with two helpers, Krejci extended his point-streak to an impressive six games (otherwise known as a season-long point-streak), and has now put up a league-leading 11 points through six games. Their 66.7 percent success rate is tied with three other teams for the third-worst in the NHL, allowing a league-high four power play goals to the opposition.

The Flyers were trailing by two goals heading into the third period in Boston last night, due to two very weak goals given up by Flyers goaltender Steve Mason.

Zac Rinaldo won’t be suspended for delivering an illegal check against the Flyers on Wednesday night.

It was 2-2 at the time of Rinaldo’s hit, just before the first period ended.

Couturier needed help getting off the ice and couldn’t return to the game. Before the game, Boston bench boss Claude Julien pointed out to the media that Rinaldo had been keeping his usual on-ice transgressions to a minimum thus far this season.

“A little more emotion, yeah”, said Rinaldo, who has no points and 10 penalty minutes in five games this season.

Flyers coach Dave Hakstol was fuming about the hit. “No place for it”, he said. “I think what the team expects from their goaltenders”.

“Yes and no”, he said.

“It’s unfortunate that [Couturier]’s hurt”, said Rinaldo.

The Flyers won’t meet Rinaldo and the Bruins again until January 13 at the Wells Fargo Center.

Rinaldo said he that had his “emotions going” in the game and that he thought he delivered a clean check.

The loss was the Bruins’ fourth at home this season (0-3-1), with Rask taking the defeat in all four home contests. Neuvirth comes into this game with shutouts in both of his starts this season, and has stopped all but three of the 83 shots thrown his way this season (a. 964 save percentage).

Backup goalie Michal Neuvirth was also injured against Boston and was removed after the first period. While Patrice Bergeron scored a goal, his stick inadvertently hit Neuvirth in the mask.

BUFFALO, New York (AP) – Evander Kane tied it with 4:29 left with his first goal for Buffalo, and Matt Moulson and Tyler Ennis scored in the shootout to beat Toronto. Rinaldo followed the puck to Couturier who quickly tipped the puck away from himself before the contact was made with 1.3 seconds remaining in the first period.

“I’ve got no comment about the call or anything like that”, Rinaldo said after the game. “We didn’t get off to a good start but we were able to regain it after the second”. Boston took a two-goal lead into the third period and appeared to have the game under control after a shaky opening 20 minutes.

Vrbata was pointless through six games but skated alongside the superstar Sedin twins for the first time this season.
