BOSTON - The Bruins will be showcasing some star power on Saturday afternoon against the Philadelphia Flyers as the club's top two centers, Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, make their exhibition debuts. Pavel Zacha and Jake DeBrusk will flank Bergeron, while Taylor Hall and David Pastrnak will skate alongside Krejci, as Boston takes the ice for its third game of the preseason.
"We are looking to see a little more; we will have more vets, the Krejci and Bergeron lines will be going," said coach Jim Montgomery. "Four veteran [defenseman] are playing so we are expecting to see a little more pace to our game, executing transition from offense to defense a lot better. I would like to see our power play just really put a lot of pressure on the other team, keep them on their heels, have some pace and execution."
