There weren’t many changes made from the Flyers last game. The only thing we did was put Brian Elliott in net since Carter Hart faced the Minnesota Wild the day before. Sooner or later, however, the team’s goaltending rotation will be harder to predict.
A goal 50 seconds in from Connor McDavid put the Oilers up early. McDavid skated in and around the net. From behind, he managed to send a pass to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins at the point. After playing catch with Oscar Klefbom, Nugent-Hopkins skated towards the middle of the ice and found McDavid in front who spun to grab the pass and one-timed it past Elliott.
