game.”

to go into the half with a 6-1 lead.

Cosmo stopped 15 of 16 shots through two quarters.
The third quarter was a showdown
between Brandon Miller and Anthony Cosmo in net, with each stopping all shots
that came their way. Miller turned
away 12 while Cosmo saved eight.
The Wings would score three goals in the final period of play, but it was
not enough to overtake Boston.

saves. Philadelphia’S one shining
star continued his great netminding with nine stops on 11 shots. Boston came out on top with the final score
8-4.
