Casey Mittelstadt scored the only goal for the Bruins, while Jeremy Swayman made 20 saves on 22 shots. … \u201cI thought we had a lot of positives for our group. Sometimes you don\u2019t get the results,\u201d said Swayman, who has allowed three goals or fewer in each of his last nine starts. \u201cOur team shouldn\u2019t be hanging their heads. A lot of great things came out of tonight\u2019s game and that\u2019s what we should be focused on.\u201d … This is the third and final meeting this season between Philadelphia and Boston. The Bruins defeated the Flyers 6-3 on Jan. 29 before Philadelphia returned the favor with a 3-1 home victory on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n
