Preview: Game 12: Flyers vs. Bruins

Playing each other for the second time in the last five days, the Philadelphia Flyers (4-6-1) will take on the Boston Bruins (4-6-1) at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday afternoon. The Flyers, winners of back-to-back games and three of their last four, prevailed in Boston by a 2-0 score on Tuesday.

The Flyers are expected to dress the same line combinations on Saturday that they featured in Boston on Tuesday and in Thursday's 2-1 home win over the St. Louis Blues. Defensemen Travis Sanheim and Nick Seeler both took maintenance days off from practice on Friday but both are expected to play in the game. The Flyers blocked 28 shots in Tuesday's game and 24 on Thursday.
