Overview
- Sean Couturier delivered a four-point night, scoring the go-ahead goal with 4:10 left after opening the scoring sequence that led to Tyson Foerster’s first of the year.
- Trevor Zegras created the decisive play with a behind-the-net move under pressure, feeding Couturier for the winner in his first marquee moment as a Flyer.
- Dan Vladar earned his first win with Philadelphia by turning aside 24 of 26 shots, providing early stability in net through two strong starts against Florida.
- Special teams were a mixed bag as the Flyers went 0-for-5 on the power play despite sustained pressure, conceded a Sam Reinhart shorthanded goal, and later yielded a Sam Bennett power-play equalizer against Florida’s perfect penalty kill.
- Matvei Michkov’s usage remained limited, with sparse third-period shifts and under 15 minutes of ice time as Rick Tocchet shortened the bench late.
