Needing to regroup following a gut-wrenching 5-3 loss to the New York Islanders in their last contest, the Philadelphia Flyers continued on their three-game road trip by taking on the Florida Panthers at the BB&T Center. This marked the third and final meeting between these two Eastern Conference squads, with both looking for the season series win and a crucial two points. Carter Hart received the start for Philadelphia in this tilt and opposed Sergei Bobrovsky.
Unlike their loss in New York, the Flyers had an excellent start to this one, earning the game’s first four shots on goal as they took it to Florida in the attacking zone.
