10/1 Postgame: TORTORELLA | Philadelphia FlyersHear from Flyers Head Coach John Tortorella following a 4-1 loss to the Bruins.
Samu Tuomaala - Practicing in non-contact jerseyTuomaala (undisclosed) practiced in a non-contact jersey Wednesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ImpactTuomaala sustained an undisclosed injury during the 2024 Rookie Series in September, and he still appears to be limited by the issue with just over a week remaining until Opening Night. He logged 15 goals and 43 points over 69 regular-season appearances with AHL Lehigh Valley last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in the AHL this season.

David Pastrnak - Two helpers TuesdayPastrnak picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason win over the Flyers.
ImpactWhile Boston's roster is undergoing a lot of changes this season, Pastrnak remains the heart of the offense, and he was the only Bruin to record multiple points Tuesday. The 28-year-old has scored at least 40 goals in each of his last four full seasons and delivered at least 110 points in each of the last two campaigns, and if he gels quickly with new center Elias Lindholm, there's little reason to think Pastrnak won't approach that kind of production again in 2024-25.

Brandon Bussi - Not busy in Tuesday's preseason winBussi turned aside 13 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason win over the Flyers.
ImpactA second-period wrister from Travis Konecny was the only puck to beat Bussi on the night. The 26-year-old netminder is getting a long look in camp due to Jeremy Swayman's contract dispute, and while Bussi has yet to make his NHL debut, he's making a solid case to open the season as the Bruins' No. 2 goalie behind Joonas Korpisalo if Swayman remains unsigned when the games begin to count next week.

Samuel Ersson - Tough loss against BostonErsson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Bruins.
ImpactThe 24-year-old netminder battled to a 1-1 tie through two periods, but Ersson gave up a power-play tally to Tyler Johnson midway through the third, and Boston then piled on two empty-netters after he left the crease. Ersson has a roller-coaster 2023-24 campaign once he took over as the Flyers' starter, winning a career-high 23 games but posting a 2.82 GAA and .890 save percentage. While he heads into the current season at the top of the depth chart, he could face a stiff challenge from Ivan Fedotov if the towering Russian adapts quickly to the speed of the NHL.
