- Rookie Easton Cowan netted his first NHL goal 33 seconds into the third period, prompting Flyers starter Dan Vladar to be pulled after allowing four goals on 19 shots in favor of Aleksei Kolosov.
- Defenseman Chris Tanev left on a stretcher after a third-period collision with Matvei Michkov, with medical staff stabilizing his head and neck before transport.
