Pastrnak has 17 points (11 goals, six assists) in a seven-game point streak against the Flyers, and 42 points (26 goals, 16 assists) in 29 games against them. The forward said he's had a special connection with Philadelphia, where Boston made him the No. 25 pick of the 2014 NHL Draft.
"This is where my dream started," he said. "This is where everything started for me and was kind of my first step to the career that I'm having right now."
Foerster scored from the slot to make it 5-1 at 15:23, and made it 5-2 at 11:24 of the third period when his shot from the slot went off the stick of Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk.
"It obviously feels good to score, but I'd give away those goals for a win any time," Foerster said.
Coyle scored for the 6-2 final at 14:45 of the third.
