The Philadelphia Flyers clinched a pivotal 3-2 victory against the Boston Bruins, bolstering their playoff aspirations. Flyers captain Sean Couturier, returning from injury, and his line with Noah Cates and Olle Lycksell, were instrumental, drawing a penalty that set up one of Travis Konecny's two goals, including his 30th of the year. Tyson Foerster scored the decisive goal with 1:29 remaining in the third period. The Bruins twice equalized in the final period, but the Flyers, backed by Samuel Ersson's 18 saves, held on for the win. This victory marks the Flyers' 12th over top-10 clubs, significantly enhancing their playoff prospects.

Sean Couturier played on an intriguing line and the Flyers picked up their 12th win over top-10 teams. https://t.co/4MKCLAmUAw
That shot on the game winning goal by Tyson Foerster yesterday was a thing of beauty. High top right corner, perfect placement. Foerster will only get better, but my gosh the Flyers haven't had a pure goal scorer like that in some time https://t.co/nHAXOkzRtC

Way to bring it home @EJHradek_NHL Massive 2 pts for the #Flyers over the big bad Bruins. Another 30 goal season for Konecny @NHLNetwork
Tyson Foerster's (@tfoerster8) goal stands as the game winner for the @NHLFlyers! 🟠⚫️ https://t.co/ETEaondiLg
The Flyers knock off the Maple Leafs and Bruins in four days. Taking down two teams they haven’t beaten since 2021. #LetsGoFlyers
In a wild finish...the #NHLBruins fall 3-2 to the Flyers in Philly. Bruins seemed to wake up too late. Brazeau and Heinen the goal scorers. @wbz
The Bruins come back to tie it twice in the third. But Ullmark, despite a couple of solid stops, will want a couple of shots back even after a period full of turnovers. Bruins fall to desperate Flyers to begin this six-game road trip.
The Flyers beat the Boston Bruins 3-2!
Heckuva win there for the Flyers
Huge win for the Flyers, concluding a monster week for the team. 2-0-1 against Toronto, Carolina and Boston. Looking very good right now that the playoffs with be returning to South Philly.
🔶 FLYERS WIN 🔶 A wicked finish in South Philly. #BOSvsPHI | @WellsFargo https://t.co/SxwdMH1Xpv
Tyson Foerster (18) leans into one and it’s a massive goal late in the game. 3-2 PHI. #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers
🚨 3-2! 🚨 @tfoerster8 goes top-shelf with 1:29 remaining! #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/g1qHgOZg1O
Foerster rips one top corner off the rush. 3-2 Flyers with 1:29 to go.
BOS answered right back. 56 seconds to be exact, 2-2 with less than 4 minutes left. #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers
Boston ties it again. 3:48 remaining. #BOSvsPHI
Bruins tie it. WOW. 3:48 left
I'd say Travis Konecny is over the rust/injury that had kept him off the scoresheet since his return to action. 2- 1 Flyers, and TK gets his 30th of the year.
🚨 2-1! 🚨 TK nets the go-ahead goal, his second of the day, with 4:44 remaining! #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/gLMOfqF8iT
BOS finally gets ones. Justin Brazeau and it's 1-1 with 9:41 remaining. #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers

Finish strong. #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/3DZYaATZT1
Sean Couturier's line with Noah Cates and Olle Lycksell has been really good. Has played in the offensive zone and drew the penalty to set up Travis Konecny's power play goal.
Up 1 with 1 remaining. #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/JAnWjYBNhu
🚨 TK POWER PLAY GOAL 1-0 FLYERS https://t.co/BqTypmgI7S
Travis Konecny with a humongous Power Play goal, and the Wells is rocking 1-0 Flyers
Travis Konecny breaks the ice on the Flyers' power play. Flyers have a 1-0 lead on Bruins late in second period.
🚨 1-0! 🚨 TK connects with a @pecoconnect PPG at 18:15. #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/7dGML0zdkb
And the Flyers capitalize. Konecny sets up the entry, goes to the net, and benefits from a Foerster whiffed shot attempt that ends up serving as a perfect pass right to TK. Flyers with the lead.
Another good shift by the Cates-Couturier-Lycksell line spent largely in the offensive zone leads to Cates drawing a high-sticking penalty.
Good shift by Coots’ line.
Back at it again. The second period is a go! #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/Lyrq73CvIt
Choppy first period on the whole, which probably suits the Flyers just fine. Pastrnak probably should have scored on that one-timer he flubbed, but Foerster also rang one off the post for the Flyers. On the whole, though, just a lot of tight checking on both sides. 0-0.
A scoreless opening frame comes to a close. #BOSvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/3Hqs49XIEj
Good shift by Olle Lycksell there. Wins the puck back with a tenacious check, then parks himself in front of the set for a screen/deflection opportunity. He might be on the "fourth" line, but Couturier and Cates obviously don't lack for skill.
Coots is a fan favorite in Philly. Today proves it Coooooooooooooots will rebound, and come back even better
BOS/PHI just underway on @Sportsnet 1. Sean Couturier back in lineup for Flyers

Deleted last tweet to avoid confusion. Samuel Ersson just came out to bench. I would expect him in net today vs. Bruins (1 p.m. ET/@NBCSPhilly). He does this before his starts. Felix Sandstrom did come out to the bench, but briefly. https://t.co/VPWSgwN1NZ
Felix Sandstrom was out here on the bench for his pregame routine, so looks like he could be in net today for Flyers vs. Bruins (1 p.m. ET/@NBCSPhilly). We'll see come warmups. This is the first game of a back-to-back set for Flyers.
The Flyers host the Bruins at 1pm today. I expect Samuel Ersson to start in goal, and Sean Couturier to re-enter the lineup #Flyers
