Leo Carlsson Leads Ducks to 5-4 Win Over Flyers

The victory halts Anaheim's five-game losing streak.

Overview

  • Anaheim rallied from a two-goal deficit as Leo Carlsson scored and set up the game-winning power-play goal to secure a 5-4 victory over Philadelphia.
  • Goalie Lukas Dostal made 28 saves and his performance helped snap the Ducks' five-game slide.
  • Matvei Michkov scored twice for the Flyers and extended his point streak to five games, including a 5-on-3 wrister that opened Philadelphia's early lead.
  • Other Anaheim scorers included A.J. Greer, Judd Caulfield, Tristan Luneau, and Beckett Sennecke, while Tyson Foerster also scored for Philadelphia and the Flyers' three-game win streak ended.
  • The game carried an offseason subplot as Philadelphia signed Carlsson to a five-year, $80 million offer sheet in July that Anaheim matched, and Carlsson now leads the Ducks in scoring with 13 points as Anaheim begins a three-game homestand.
