Bobby Brink had a goal and an assist, as well as another goal in the shootout, to lift the Flyers to a preseason shootout win over the Bruins on Friday night.

The Flyers conclude the road portion of the preseason schedule on Friday night against the Boston Bruins at 7 p.m.

David Pastrnak scored a hat trick to reach the 60-goal mark, as the Bruins recorded their 63rd win of the season to set an NHL record in a 5-3 result over the Flyers on Sunday night at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers face the Boston Bruins on Sunday evening, as Boston goes for a single-season, NHL-record 63rd win of the season.

The Bruins continued rolling, improving their NHL-leading record to 34-5-4 with a 6-0 decision over the Flyers on Monday afternoon.

The Flyers have won seven of their last eight games since the holiday break and get a test in the NHL's leading team, the Boston Bruins, on Monday afternoon.

One day, you could be where the Flyers were to start the season, seven wins in the first 12 games. The next though, you can be where the Flyers are right now, mired in a five-game losing streak that is halfway to a mark that has become an identifier of where the franchise currently is.

The Bruins' talent became too much to overcome, as the Flyers dropped their fifth straight game, 4-1, to the Bruins on Thursday night.

The Flyers enter Thursday's game in a four-game losing streak though, and now get the test of facing the NHL's best team in the standings. The Boston Bruins come in with a 14-2-0 record and wins in four straight games.

Thursday's 3-2 Flyers loss to the Bruins was one final game in a calendar year that has been as frustrating and disappointing as ever. Another loss in regulation brought the team’s current losing streak to six, and put a fitting conclusion to a 365-day period to forget.
