Flyers Seek Preseason Improvement Against Bruins in Upcoming Matchup

PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Philadelphia Flyers will take the ice against the Boston Bruins in their second preseason game at 5:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. The game can be streamed on PhiladelphiaFlyers.com and will also be broadcast on 97.5 The Fanatic.

Head coach Rick Tocchet leads the Flyers, who are looking to bounce back after a tough preseason start. Key players such as team captain Sean Couturier, Bobby Clarke Trophy winner Travis Konecny, and newcomer Christian Dvorak are set to showcase their skills in front of the home crowd.

Among the storylines for this matchup, forward Trevor Zegras will make his preseason home debut. Tocchet expressed excitement about Zegras joining the veteran lineup, alongside youngsters Matvei Michkov and Owen Tippett.

The team will also feature a strong defensive pair, as Tocchet has noted that Cam York and Travis Sanheim have been instrumental in training camp. Samuel Ersson is expected to start in goal, with rookie Carson Bjarnason dressed as backup for the matchup.

Two rookie forwards, Jett Luchanko and Alex Bump, will aim to impress Tocchet after being given extended looks during training. Rodrigo Abols has emerged as a contender for a roster spot, especially with Karsen Dorwart out with an injury.

As the Flyers prepare to face the Bruins, they seek a solid performance to gain momentum before upcoming games. Tocchet emphasized the importance of building a competitive team, saying, “We need to see who can really step up in these preseason opportunities.”

The Flyers aim to turn around what has been a challenging preseason, and every player on the roster is ready to contribute. The game against Boston represents a critical opportunity to establish their presence in the 2025-26 season.
