Overview

  • Sean Couturier scored twice, including the go-ahead goal with 4:10 remaining off a Trevor Zegras setup.
  • Bobby Brink and Christian Dvorak added empty-netters after Florida erased a two-goal deficit on tallies by Sam Reinhart and Sam Bennett.
  • Dan Vladar stopped 24 of 26 shots for his first victory with Philadelphia.
  • The Flyers improved to 1-1-1, while the two-time defending champions took their first loss in four games.
  • Philadelphia went 0-for-5 on the power play but showed cleaner puck movement, and the night included a standing-ovation tribute to late Hall of Famer Bernie Parent with his No. 1 on the ice.
