The Boston Bruins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 5-1 in a preseason game on Tuesday at TD Garden. Coach Marco Sturm fielded a veteran-heavy lineup that included David Pastrnak, Jeremy Swayman, Pavel Zacha, and Morgan Geekie. Mikey Eyssimont scored two goals, while Geekie, Brian Halonen, and Elias Lindholm added single tallies for Boston.

Winger JJ Peterka made his Bruins debut after being acquired via trade from Utah during the offseason. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman stopped 20 of 21 shots in his first preseason start of the fall, while Sturm adjusted his forward combinations by pairing Peterka with Pastrnak and Lindholm in the third period.
