Overview
- Matvei Michkov scored twice, including a power-play rebound that survived a goalie-interference review, to drive the Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night.
- Trevor Zegras set up each goal with three assists while Joseph Woll stopped 24 shots to record his first win with Philadelphia.
- Noel Acciari redirected an Oliver Bonk shot for his first goal as a Flyer and provided the insurance goal late in the third period.
- Colorado managed goals from Martin Necas and rookie T.J. Hughes but again struggled with a slow, disjointed start despite solid goaltending from Mackenzie Blackwood.
- The Flyers head to Buffalo next and will test whether Michkov’s scoring, improved power play execution, and recent depth contributions mark a sustained turnaround or a short-term lift.
