A big takeaway from the Bruins' shutout loss to the Flyers

BOSTON – The Boston Bruins continued to struggle offensively against a Philadelphia Flyers team that allowed 40 goals in Tuesday night's game at TD Garden.

The Bruins had plenty of ice time in the offensive zone but failed to contain Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson, who made 22 saves for his first shutout of the season as Boston fell 2-0.

The power play used to be a deadly weapon, but lately it's more of a blackout.

Boston had four power play opportunities, including a five-on-three for 1:37, but only managed two shots on Ersson. The Bruins had good puck movement and held the puck for most of the man advantage, but allowed shots on multiple occasions.

Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery tried to ignite the offense by mixing up the forward lines late in the second period to start the third period.

Brad Marchand joined David Pastrnak on the top row with Elias Lindholm, and Pavel Zacha dropped to the second row to join Charlie Coyle. Montgomery also moved Mark Kastelic from the fourth row to skate with Coyle and Zacha, while Morgan Geekie took Kastelic's spot.

The new combinations didn't help much, as the Bruins only managed two shots on goal in the 16th minute of the third period.

If Joonas Korpisalo hadn't taken care of the Bruins' whistle, the game could have gotten out of hand early.

Korpisalo, starting only his third game of the season, made excellent saves in the first seven minutes to keep the game goalless. His only mistake came in midfield when Tyson Foerster beat him by five and scored the first goal of the game.

The Bruins' backup goaltender made 17 saves in his second loss of the season.

Boston will look to get back on the winning list when it travels to Carolina to take on the Hurricanes on Thursday night. Puck drop from Lenovo Center is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action after an hour of pregame coverage on NESN.
