Flyers Triumph Over Canadiens in Shootout

Sean Couturier and Sam Ersson Shine in Victory, Jamie Drysdale Makes Impressive Debut

Flyers secure victory over Montreal Canadiens in shootout, 3-2, ending their home stand on a high note.
Sean Couturier scored on the Flyers’ first attempt in the shootout, and then Sam Ersson turned aside Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Jesse Ylonen to give the Flyers the victory.
Jamie Drysdale, newly acquired from the Ducks, nabbed his first point as a Flyer in his first game on the team, with a power play assist on Morgan Frost’s game-tying goal.
Despite an early deficit, the Flyers largely controlled the pace of play in the first period, outshooting Montreal 10-2.
After faltering early, Ersson redeemed himself by saving the next 17 shots the Canadiens put on net, plus their three attempts in the shootout.
