Overview
- In his first meeting with Anaheim, Trevor Zegras scored twice in the opening period from the right circle to pace Philadelphia to victory.
- Zegras leads the Flyers with 41 points in 41 games, strengthening his case as the club’s primary offensive driver this season.
- Cutter Gauthier logged his 20th goal for the Ducks and was booed throughout a charged night shaped by the teams’ recent trades and lingering animosity.
- Bobby Brink left and did not return following a hit by Jansen Harkins that drew no penalty, while Noah Cates fought Harkins and received instigator and game-misconduct penalties.
- Jamie Drysdale was helped off after a blindside interference hit by Ross Johnston that brought out a stretcher; Johnston received a five-minute major and a game misconduct, and a league source told Kevin Kurz no supplemental discipline is expected.
