Flyers-Bruins: Preseason Game 5 Preview

After claiming their first win of the preseason in the final home game, the Flyers hit the road for the first of two more games in the states before heading to Europe ahead of the start of the 2019-20 season.

The first of those two games is on Monday night, as the Flyers face the Boston Bruins at 7 p.m.

The Bruins got the better of the Flyers in a 3-1 win on Thursday night. Following that game, the Flyers made the decision to make additional roster cuts ahead of schedule so more veterans could get into games to prepare for the season.

With 34 players left on the roster, the Flyers are going to have plenty of veterans in the lineup on Monday night. Here are the Flyers lines for Monday:

Forwards
25 James van Riemsdyk	14 Sean Couturier	11 Travis Konecny
82 Connor Bunnaman	13 Kevin Hayes	23 Oskar Lindblom
81 Carsen Twarynski	21 Scott Laughton	44 Chris Stewart
10 Andy Andreoff	50 German Rubtsov	62 Nicolas Aube-Kubel
Defensemen
53 Shayne Gostisbehere	61 Justin Braun
6 Travis Sanheim	5 Phil Myers
55 Sam Morin	59 Mark Friedman
Goalies
37 Brian Elliott	79 Carter Hart

The Bruins will have more veterans in the lineup for their first home game of the preseason. Two-thirds of the Bruins top line will play with Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak in action. Zdeno Chara is also expected to play. Tuukka Rask will get the start in goal.

Here is the Bruins lineup for Monday night:

Forwards
63 Brad Marchand	13 Charlie Coyle	88 David Pastrnak
74 Jake DeBrusk	46 David Krejci	18 Brett Ritchie
43 Danton Heinen	82 Trent Frederic	14 Chris Wagner
94 Jakub Lauko	52 Sean Kuraly	42 David Backes
Defensemen
33 Zdeno Chara	75 Connor Clifton
58 Urho Vaakanainen	6 Alex Petrovic
67 Jakub Zboril	56 Josiah Didier
Goalies
40 Tuukka Rask	80 Dan Vladar

Boston’s only win of the preseason came against the Flyers. They have also lost to New Jersey and Chicago in overtime.

The Flyers also announced that forward Morgan Frost will be out for five-to-seven days with a groin strain. The injury likely ends his preseason, and is now a matter of if his first two games in the preseason are enough to make the Flyers roster. Frost was not scheduled to play Monday night, but was expected to play Thursday before news of the lingering injury was announced.
