The Philadelphia Flyers secured a 2-0 shutout victory against the Boston Bruins on Thursday night in their penultimate preseason game. Matvei Michkov scored the opening goal in his preseason debut while skating alongside Travis Konecny and Christian Dvorak. Early in the third period, prospect Cole Knuble doubled the lead by scoring off an assist set up by Jett Luchanko.
