BOSTON --Marc McLaughlin and John Beecher each scored twice for the Boston Bruins in a 4-0 shutout against the Philadelphia Flyers at TD Garden on Saturday.
Patrice Bergeron had an assist in his preseason debut after he signed a one-year contract on Aug. 9. Linus Ullmark made 21 saves for Boston. Felix Sandstrom made two saves in the first period for the Flyers before he was repalced by Troy Grosenick (19 saves) to start the second. McLaughlin gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 7:09 of the first period, tipping a point shot from Jack Ahcan. He scored his second poking in a loose puck at the side of the net to make it 2-0 at 11:55 of the third. Beecher scored at 15:23 of the third to make it 3-0 before adding a short-handed, empty-net goal at 17:12 for the 4-0 final. Bruins forward Fabian Lysell played 5:29 before leaving in the first period with an injury after he was checked into the boards.
