The Boston Bruins take on the Philadelphia Flyers tonight as they begin the last week of the pre season following a 3-2 loss on Saturday night.

Both teams have now made their first round of roster cuts after the Bruins cut 19 players two days ago while the Flyers made a much cut by only sending 8 players down to the AHL.

The Bruins will also get their first look at Flyers top goaltender prospect Alexei Kolosov who is set to make his pre season debut tonight after finally taking care of his contract issues.

As the pre season narrows down, the Bruins now have some big decisions to make regarding goaltenders which did they did not see coming this summer since everyone thought Jeremy Swayman would be signed by now.

On those lines, Brandon Bussi and Korpisalo have each had a whole game between the pipes. Korpisalo had a .925 save percentage on Saturday against the Flyers while Bussi had a .875 save percentage in his full game on Thursday. The B's may go on trend and give Michael DiPietro the whole 60 minutes as he's the only one who hasn't geared up for a whole game yet - we'll have to wait and see. -Berube


Also Elias Lindholm will not be in the lineup tonight but he has begun practice with a regular jersey meaning fans will likely get to see hi in a pre season game in this final week.

While we still won't see Elias Lindholm tonight, it's encouraging he has returned to practice. In the meantime, Don Sweeney said Lindholm being out gives the Bruins more of a chance to evaluate Tyler Johnson.
