Grzelcyk injured in Boston s 3-2 loss to Flyers on Saturday afternoon by Eric Russo @erusso22 / BostonBruins.com
PHILADELPHIA - Patrice Bergeron and Jake DeBrusk scored but the Bruins dropped their road trip finale against the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-2, on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center. Jeremy Swayman made his third straight start and stopped 20 shots in the loss, the first of his NHL career. I liked their effort, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said of his club, who surrendered the winner to Sean Couturier at 6:59 of the third. Obviously, [the Flyers] have a lot to play for - every team does this time of year that s still in the mix. That certainly has something to do with it. We had a few breakdowns that they converted on. We didn t give up a whole lot. The goals they scored, can t fault Swayman.
