Boston Bruins defeated the winless Philadelphia Flyers 5-1 on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, according to the Associated Press. Fraser Minten contributed a goal and two assists, while Pavel Zacha netted his first goal of the season.
The Bruins opened the scoring 12:21 into the first period when Zacha received a backhand pass from David Pastrnak and fired a wrist shot that deflected off Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar’s pad. Minten added a second‑period assist to Mason Lohrei’s goal, which came 2:48 before the period’s end. In the third period, Mintin set up Marat Khusnutdinov for a goal just under two minutes after the period began, and later assisted Casey Mittelstadt’s tally.
Boston’s other scorers were Mason Lohrei, Marat Khusnutdinov and Casey Mittelstadt, each adding a goal. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman faced only three shots in the first 30 minutes, finishing with 14 saves before conceding a power‑play goal to Porter Martone at 6:32 of the final period. Swayman recorded his 136th win, tying Andy Moog for eighth on the Bruins’ all‑time list.
Flyers netminder Dan Vladar made 27 saves despite the team being outshot 19‑3 in the opening half and 22‑8 after two periods. The Flyers, now 0‑4‑2, remain the Eastern Conference’s only winless team. Michael Bunting appeared in his second game after signing as a free agent this week.
Next up, the Flyers host the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night, while the Bruins travel to San Jose to face the Sharks on Tuesday, beginning a four‑game road trip.
