WEDNESDAY NIGHT RIVALRY: FLYERS-BRUINS - WEDNESDAY AT 8 P.M. ET ON NBCSN

The Boston Bruins welcome the Philadelphia Flyers to TD Garden tomorrow night as they look to continue their strong play after a slow start to the 2015 campaign. The Bruins are coming off of back-to-back wins in Colorado and Arizona, which included a three-point effort by Patrice Bergeron in Boston's 5-3 win over the Coyotes. The Flyers have also won two straight games, both shutout victories by goaltender Michal Neuvirth, who stopped 30 shots in a 3-0 win over the defending-champion Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday Night Rivalry last week. The Bruins won the last six matchups between the two teams dating back to the 2013-14 season, and the Flyers have not won in Boston since 2011.

Mike 'Doc' Emrick (play-by-play), Eddie Olczyk (analyst) and Pierre McGuire ('Inside-the-Glass' analyst) will have the call from TD Garden in Boston, Mass.
