KEY GAME INFORMATION
PHILADELPHIA: LAST SEASON: 42-30-10, 94 points. Finished 3rd in Metropolitan Division. Sixth in Eastern Conference. Lost to New York Rangers in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Craig Berube, 2nd season with Flyers (42-27-10); 2nd overall in NHL.
ADDED: C R.J. Umberger, LW Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, D Michael Del Zotto
LOST: LW Scott Hartnell, RW Steve Downie, LW Tye McGinn, C Kris Newbury, D Erik Gustafsson, D Bruno Gervais
PLAYER TO WATCH: Flyers center Claude Giroux. Back earlier than expected from an unspecified lower-body injury, Giroux needs to be in top form if the Flyers expect to play deep into the postseason. Giroux was selected last season as a Hart Trophy finalist, the league's MVP award. He matched a career high with 28 goals and finished third in the NHL scoring race (86 points).
OUTLOOK: The Flyers need Steve Mason to play again like a true No. 1 goalie and for Giroux to play like an MVP candidate for the Flyers to have a shot at ending their Stanley Cup drought. The Flyers are 0 for the Cup since they won consecutive Cups in 1974 and 1975 and seemed poised to build a dynasty. Only the Toronto Maple Leafs (1966-67) have suffered longer than any other team that was won at least one Stanley Cup.
BOSTON: LAST SEASON: 54-19-9, 117 points, most in the NHL. Lost to Montreal Canadiens in second round of playoffs.
COACH: Claude Julien, eighth season in Boston (310-165-65); 12th overall in NHL.
ADDED: F Simon Gagne, G Niklas Svedberg.
LOST: F Jarome Iginla, F Shawn Thornton, G Chad Johnson.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Defenseman Zdeno Chara is 37, and it's not clear how long his 6-foot-9 body can hold up. He played in 77 games, but had the least time on the ice (in a non-lockout season) since his arrival in Boston in 2006, and his fewest points and penalty minutes as a Bruin, too. He finished the season with a broken finger. Still, he was a finalist for the Norris Trophy, which he won in 2009.
OUTLOOK: After winning the Stanley Cup in 2011 and returning to the finals two seasons later, the Bruins posted the NHL's best record last season but were knocked out of the playoffs by the rival Canadiens in seven games in the second round. The Bruins return essentially the same team, including Selke Trophy winner Patrice Bergeron and Vezina winner Tuukka Rask, who led the league with seven shutouts, finished second with a .930 save percentage and was fourth with a 2.03 goals-against average.

*Flyers-Bruins Preview* =======================

By JUSTIN EINHORN STATS Senior Editor

Philadelphia (28-25-12) at Boston (31-22-10), 1:00 p.m. EDT

Since being stunned by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals, the Boston Bruins have had their number.

Now Boston would like to play a role in keeping the Flyers out of the playoffs altogether and boost its own chances of qualifying by completing a season sweep Saturday at TD Garden.

The Bruins (31-22-10) enter the final five weeks of the regular season clinging to a two-point lead over Florida for the East's final wild-card spot.

"We have to get points and get ourselves going and really try to separate ourselves from the bottom pack and gain some ground there," goaltender Tuukka Rask told the team's official website.

Philadelphia (28-25-12) is within four points of Boston but trails in the first tiebreaker - four fewer regulation wins - and has lost the second one, having lost the season series with a 2-1 defeat Oct. 8 and 3-1 on Jan. 10.

The Flyers have dropped the past five meetings but are excited by the chance to gain ground on the Bruins.

"If we can grab those two points from them, that's two more points that they can't get, so it's in our favor," winger Wayne Simmonds said. "We have to be really prepared for that game and start right from the drop of the puck."

The Bruins own a 16-3-1 record against the Flyers, including a 2011 playoff sweep en route to the Stanley Cup, since blowing a 3-0 series lead - and a 3-0 lead in Game 7 - against Philadelphia in 2010.

Still, the Flyers are very much looking forward to getting another shot at them.

"They are fun games to be a part of, but this is a time of year where playing hockey is extra fun just because there is so much on the line," goaltender Steve Mason said. "Especially for us right now when every game is a must-win."

Both clubs are 2-0-1 in their last three games, with the losses coming to Calgary. Philadelphia followed its overtime defeat with a 3-1 win over St. Louis on Thursday, the same night Boston fell to the Flames 4-3 in a shootout.

The Bruins have lost all seven of their shootouts since the beginning of December. They've converted a league-worst 13.0 percent of their shots in tiebreakers (6 of 46), scoring once in the last 26 attempts.

"It's such an emotional difference between winning and losing in a shootout, and this season we haven't been really good at them," Rask said.

It's hard to blame Rask, who stopped Calgary's first six attempts before giving up back-to-back goals. He allowed one in a 12-round shootout loss to Edmonton on Feb. 18.

"Tuukka has been really good in the shootout giving us a chance to win, but at the end of the day it's up to us to make sure it doesn't even get there with the opportunities we're creating," winger Milan Lucic said. "We have to do a better job of bearing down."

Rask has started all five games between these clubs since the beginning of last season and won them all, posting a 1.57 goals-against average.

Mason left the last meeting with a knee injury and eventually needed surgery, but he's been solid in four games since returning with a 1.96 GAA. He is 7-1-2 with a 1.45 GAA in his last 12, but only two of those games came away from home.

He's won only once in 15 road starts, and Philadelphia has one of the league's worst road records since Christmas at 3-8-3.

The Flyers have killed a dreadful 70.4 percent of opponents' power plays on the road. Boston is also struggling in that department, with its last eight opponents going 8 for 24.
