The Flyers didn't have a good trip to Boston for their sixth preseason game. They lost, 4-1, Tuesday night to the Bruins at TD Garden and key defenseman Nick Seeler left the game banged up. Boston's final two goals were empty-netters.

But 36 saves is still 36 saves, and Samuel Ersson looked cool and confident in a preseason shutout. The 24-year-old goalie is still one of the top two or three most important players on the roster, especially considering how much he struggled in the second half last season.

The Philadelphia Flyers had the closest thing to an NHL game so far during preseason against the Boston Bruins, but two empty-net goals put the game out of reach for them as they fell in a 4-1 defeat.
