Overview
- Philadelphia overturned an early 1-0 deficit with goals from Noah Cates, Carl Grundstrom, Travis Konecny, Bobby Brink, Owen Tippett (short-handed empty-netter) and Christian Dvorak, as Trevor Zegras and Matvei Michkov each logged two assists.
- Dan Vladar made 32 saves on 35 shots as the Flyers moved to 20-11-7 and continued their Western swing with a back-to-back in Calgary on Wednesday.
- In his first game back at Rogers Arena since leaving in April, Rick Tocchet was recognized on the video board and received loud boos mixed with some cheers.
- After a sluggish start, the Flyers tightened the neutral zone and leaned into Tocchet’s recent push for more net-front play, which included elevating Christian Dvorak to a power-play net-front role before the game.
- Vancouver dropped to 16-20-3 during a difficult campaign that has included significant injuries and the Dec. 12 trade of former captain Quinn Hughes to Minnesota.
