After starting slow in each of the games on the Western Canada road trip, a strong start was going to be key for the ... oh hey they scored already. For the first time since the Devils game the Flyers started strong as the top line of Claude Giroux, Travis Konecny, and Sean Couturier combined on a beautiful passing play that resulted in a Couturier goal. The newly reunited top line has looked strong, and here they put the puck in the back of the net.
Unfortunately, Roope Hintz decided it was a good time to take a man’s soul shortly thereafter.
