Flyers Ride Zegras and Vladar to Back-to-Back Road Wins

Trevor Zegras’ surge is powering an 8-5-1 start built on timely goaltending.

Overview

  • Philadelphia closed its trip with a 3-1 win in Nashville as Travis Konecny posted a goal and an assist, Matvei Michkov and Noah Cates scored, and Dan Vladar stopped 23 shots.
  • Vladar improved to 5-0-1 in his career against the Predators, and the Flyers limited Nashville to three shots in the third period to seal the result.
  • Two nights earlier, the Flyers edged Montreal 5-4 in a shootout with Zegras recording two assists in regulation and the lone shootout tally, while Nikita Grebenkin netted his first NHL goal.
  • NHL Public Relations noted Philadelphia’s three goals in the first eight minutes in Montreal marked the club’s earliest three-goal start since Nov. 2, 2011.
  • Zegras leads the team with 15 points in 13 games and has boosted both the power play and shootout results, with Philadelphia now 3-0 in shootouts this season.
