The last time the Boston Bruins visited the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, they dropped Game 6 in a colossal Eastern Conference Semis collapse against the Flyers. Tonight, they will look to rid themselves of the bitter taste that has lingered for the past 201 days since that dreadful seventh game.
It will be the first meeting of the season between Boston and Philadelphia, and the hope is that the B's can use the energy surrounding this matchup to snap their current skid. Having accumulated a record of just 1-3-1 in their last 5 games and slipping down the Eastern Conference ladder, a win against the first-place Flyers would do great measures for getting this team back on the right track.
They won't have Marc Savard just yet, but Savvy has said that he feels ready to move forward and is very close to returning to game action according to reports. That theory can be supported by the team's most recent transaction, clearing Matt Hunwick and his $1.45 million cap hit in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche. Boston needed to clear $1.4 million to make room for Savard, so the move seems synonymous with the impending return of the star centerman. Either way, Boston will look to kick it back into their early-season gear tonight against the team that so devastatingly ended their magical run six months ago.
