Korpisalo makes 20 saves as the Bruins shut out the Flyers

It was his first goal since November 27, 2023, in part due to season-ending shoulder surgery in February.

“It felt good to see one go into the net,” he said. “Of course it wasn’t nice. Just put pucks in the net and good things happen.”

Brazeau made it 2-0 at 11:23 of the second period when he skated through the slot and fired a pass from Marchand past Kolosov.

“The 5-on-5 goals we scored are the type of 5-on-5 goals we need to score when it's at the goal line, we're outnumbered and we find someone to is in the right position or we destroy the net,” Montgomery said.

Marchand finished with an unanswered goal at 16:21 of the third period to make the final score 3-0.

It's the third straight game in which the Flyers have had 21 or fewer shots on goal. Part of that could be focusing on playing better in the defensive zone.

“We have to play well in front of our goalies,” Flyers coach John Tortorella said. “If you play well in front of your goalies, I think you have more puck. As far as shots go, I think we have chances to shoot and not. Like I said the other day, it's an epidemic.” shooting the puck far away. … Defense has to be a priority for us in the situation we're in and hopefully it comes down to where we're at as a team to get something guys going.

NOTES: The win was Montgomery's 117th as Bruins coach, tying Lynn Patrick for 10th all-time. … Korpisalo's last shutout was on April 10, 2023 at the Los Angeles Kings.
