One Massive Takeaway From The Boston Bruins Gutsy Win Over The Philadelphia Flyers

The Boston Bruins nearly lost this game after entering the third period down by two as the Flyers held a 3-1 lead going into the last 20 minutes, and there is one big reason for this.

The Bruins power play would have been to blame if the team wasn't able to win today's game vs the Philadelphia Flyers as they went 1-for-6 today.

When Joe Sacco originally took over for the Bruins after firing Jim Montgomery the Bruins power play and penalty kill were improving, but now it's starting to go backwards.

The Bruins went 1-for-2 on the penalty kill, and the power play was worse as it went 1-for-6, if the Bruins did not win this game the only reason would be due to how garbage their power play is.

If the Bruins want a serious chance at going for a deep playoff run this year like they intended to in the off-season when they made some big signings, they need to figure out how to get their power play going.

They are finally finding the back of the net more consistently, and Jeremy Swayman is starting to find his game, now the Bruins special teams need to find a way to produce.

Thankfully Marchand, and Frederic came through big in the third period with a goal each, and Pavel Zacha saved the day by burying the overtime winner for the Bruins from David Pastrnak.
