In the first Flyers game with fans in almost an entire year, they didn’t give the Penguins’ faithful much to be happy about at the start. They had two power plays at the beginning of the game, but failed to convert. They did outshoot the Penguins 12-5 in the period, but ended up losing the possession battle as they struggled towards the final minutes, including a penalty sending the Penguins to the power play.
The second Flyers power play looked much better than the first, and the switch to put Shayne Gostisbehere on the first power play unit is clearly the way to go for this team moving forward.
