Samuel Ersson made 23 saves en route to his first shutout of the season as the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the host Boston Bruins 2-0 on Tuesday.

Tyson Foerster scored the winning goal in the second period, and Joel Farabee added a last-minute empty-netter.

The Flyers have won two of their last three games since a six-game losing streak (0-5-1).

Emil Andrae had the first assist on Foerster’s opening goal. It was the 22-year-old Swedish defenseman’s first career point in his sixth NHL game, his second this season.

Joonas Korpisalo made 17 saves for the Bruins, who made just one of their last four saves (0-3-1). That span includes a pair of shutout losses.

Prior to Tuesday, the Bruins had earned at least a point in 20 consecutive home games against the Flyers since March 17, 2012.

The Bruins had a 24-19 shooting advantage but finished 0-for-4 on the power play. Only three of their shots came in the third period.

Foerster broke the scoreless deadlock with 5:32 left in the second. Andrae slid a pass from the half wall through traffic and straight to Foerster between the circles, where a right from the wrist beat Korpisalo.

The Bruins had an excellent scoring opportunity before the game was six minutes old, but were unable to convert at 1:37 of five-on-three time.

At the other end, Korpisalo made a big save on Garnet Hathaway, who scored a two-on-one break with Scott Laughton from the penalty area.

One of Ersson’s best saves of the opening period came with 5:21 to go when a sharp passing sequence set up Elias Lindholm with a straight shot at the left post.

Ersson didn’t see a shot on goal on either of Boston’s final two power plays, including attempts in both the second and third frames.

In the opening minutes of the third attempt, 19-year-old Flyers star Matvei Michkov attempted a lacrosse-style goal but was thwarted by Korpisalo, while Ersson pounced on a loose puck that Brad Marchand threw from behind the goal line during a short break. -convenient order.
