PHILADELPHIA -- David Krejci and Brad Marchand each scored two goals as the Bruins took out their frustration from one of the great collapses in postseason history with a 7-3 win over Philadelphia Saturday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
For the second straight season, the Bruins lead the Flyers in the second round. The Bruins went ahead 3-0 a year ago before the Flyers became the third NHL team to rally with four straight victories to win a best-of-seven series.
Patrice Bergeron had three assists, Krejci two and Marchand one. The Bruins chased goalie Brian Boucher by taking a 5-1 lead in the second period.
New round, same problem for the Flyers. Philadelphia used two goalies in three of its seven first-round games against Buffalo. "Too many easy goals, too many easy plays," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "We weren't strong enough right in front of our goaltender."-- AP
