The Boston Bruins geared up for their fourth preseason game, and second game in a row against the Philadelphia Flyers.
This time, things did not go how the Boston Bruins wanted, and it was quite surprising, especially considering the Bruins had a NHL heavy lineup, against a rookie stacked Flyers lineup.
Here are three takeaways from tonight's game.
Bruins already having a tough time scoring goals
Many believed the Bruins were going to light up the Flyers when looking at both teams rosters, but that wasn't the case.
The Bruins ended up dressing 14 veteran players, and only scored 2 goals against a rookie team.
If this is a glimpse of how the season is going to go, it's going to be another long one for the Boston Bruins.
- The Bruins dressed 14 veterans. Scoring goals may be a challenge this season.
David Pastrnak made his return to the ice tonight since it was made public that he has tendinitis.
Watching him play, it's clear that it's not slowing him down at all. Pastrnak was throwing the body, and making plays like normal, he even ended up picking up an assist on Sean Kuraly's goal.
- Knee tendonitis is not slowing down David Pastrnak.
One player that there was a lot of question marks around entering the season was defenseman Hampus Lindholm.
Lindholm suffered a season ending injury last season, and many believed he may be rusty entering the year, but that wasn't the case.
In just his second preseason game, Lindholm is looking really good right now, and that's promising for the Boston Bruins.
- Hampus Lindholm looks healthy and ready to go.
If the Bruins do want to be a competitive team once again, Lindholm is going to play a massive role in it.
