Zegras Nets Two Against Former Team as Flyers Top Ducks 5-2

League sources say Ross Johnston will not face further discipline after his hit that injured Jamie Drysdale.

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.
