The Nashville Predators opened their two game road trip with a 1-0 win against the Philadelphia Flyers, spoiling the Flyer’s 50th anniversary of their first ever home game. After four straight games played in the City of Brotherly Love between these two teams headed to overtime, Nashville pulled out a regulation victory.
The game began with both teams struggling to hold possession, although the Flyers controlled the puck more early on. There were 10 shots on goal through the first half of an extremely fast-paced first period, and many of those scoring chances came off of breakaways.
