At 16:31, Philly went back on the power play when Michkov was tripped by Charlie McAvoy. They couldn’t score, but Egor Zamula, with the second unit on the ice, fired a challenging shot through a Tyson Foerster screen and into the net.

In the third period, the Flyers incurred three penalties and lost leading scorer Konecny ​​to a possible injury.

On the second shift of the third period, Bobby Brink had an excellent chance to score from the slot.

Frederic (2nd of the game, 5th of the season) cut the deficit to 3-2 when he scored after a broken play at 5:18. Philly’s fourth line was on the ice along with defensive pairing Egor Zamula and Nick Seeler. The assists went to Charlie Coyle and Kastelic.

At 6:06 of the third period, a Konecny ​​interference penalty gave the Bruins their fourth power play of the game. Konecny ​​ascended the tunnel after being hit by McAvoy high above. Brink served the penalty. Brad Marchand was robbed at close range and had a chance to tie the game. Philly handled the rest of the killing.

A tripping penalty by Garnet Hathaway gave Boston its fifth power play at 10:33 of the final stanza. A deflection from Elias Lindholm almost tied the game with two shots on goal during the man advantage.

Marchand (11th of the season) made the final score 3-3 at 14:38. The third-line forwards couldn’t get a backcheck in time after Boston countered a Sanheim miss. The only assist went to Justin Brazeau.

Power play number six for Boston came at 18:03 when Couturier called a penalty on Pastrnak. The game went into overtime. In the third period, Boston’s shots on goal were 12-6 (Bruins 30-25 from regulation shots, 13 from power play shots).

87 of the first 90 seconds of overtime were played in a 4-on-4 system. In the 3-on-3 game, Pavel Zacha (7th) won the game for the Bruins after a set-up by David Pastrnak.

Aleksei Kolosov (27 saves on 31 shots) had a few mishaps with throw-ins and dump-ins in a losing situation, but saved his scoring chances excellently. Jeremy Swayman secured the win with 23 stops on 26 shots.

TURNING POINT

The Flyers were in the driver’s seat early in the third period. Unfortunately for Philly, penalty problems arose. The Bruins gained momentum as the period progressed and scored two goals to force overtime.

POSTGAME 5 (“5 Things” Revisited)

1. Farabee seeks redemption: In 16:33 minutes of ice time over 25 shifts, Farabee had three shots on goal. This also included a breakaway in overtime. Unfortunately, he remained frustrated on offense.

2. Tippett and Michkov find chemistry: The line with Michkov, Tippett and Frost had the best scoring opportunities in the first period (Michkov’s 5-on-5 goal) and the second period (Frost’s shot attempt was blocked). In the third period, Michkov received a pass from Ristolainen and fired a shot wide of the net.

3. Personnel deployment – ​​Strong trust in Couturier’s line: The high volume of special teams and Konecny’s departure in the third period affected the line rotation. Couturier (two shots on goal, four shot attempts, four giveaways, one minor penalty, one credited goal, 11-for-19 on faceoffs) led the Flyers with 17:29 of ice time in 27 shifts.

4. Flyer Special Teams: The Flyers went 1 for 2 on the power play. They were 5-6 in penalties, but the problem was the sheer amount of outnumbered players.

5. Keep track of Pastrnak: The Flyers blocked four of Pastrnak’s nine shot attempts in the game. Ultimately, Boston’s leading scorer assisted on Zacha’s game-winning goal. Pastrnak finished the season series against the Flyers with two points (0g, 2a) in three games.
