The Flyers closed out the first month of the season in a positive way, with their third straight victory, this time over the Nashville Predators. A lousy opening period that saw the Flyers outshot 10-3 would turn out not to be a sign to things to come, with Trevor Zegras stepping up in a big way, scoring twice and assisting on another tally.
