Brian Elliott would pick right back up where he left off against the Golden Knights with a pair of grade-A stops in the first few minutes, including this gem on Andrew Shaw.
The Flyers nearly struck first, but Kevin Hayes was ruled offsides to nullify the great setup from Joel Farabee. The rookie would have to wait a little longer to register his first NHL point.
But hold everything, folks, the Flyers would get another and this wasn’t up for discussion. A quick 2-on-1 developed at center and Travis Konecny fed Oskar Lindblom beautifully to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead with 6:55 left in the first.
