PHILADELPHIA — Miles Wood put on a show against his favorite player.
Wood scored twice, Keith Kinkaid stopped 35 shots and the New Jersey Devils beat the slumping Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 on Saturday night.
Wood wore Claude Giroux’s No. 28 in prep school and college. The star Flyers center went without a point while the Devils rookie recorded the first multigoal game of his career.
“That’s why I play,” he said. “It’s always fun to be in these types of games.”
Wood also was involved in a first-period fight with Wayne Simmonds in the typically physical game between the rivals.
