The Philadelphia Flyers’ four-game series against the New Jersey Devils began with a comeback effort sparked by Claude Giroux, and a shootout victory for Brian Elliott. However, the results didn’t fall the Flyers’ way tonight.
First Period
This game began with big Flyers-Devils vibes; i.e. nothing happened. However, things then got very exciting when we went to video review over a high-sticking penalty. It was determined that Sean Couturier was, in fact, bleeding as the result of a high-stick and the Flyers were given a four-minute power play. It’s unclear why it took as long as it did to reach that conclusion.
