Overview
- Trevor Zegras scored twice in the first period from nearly the same spot at the bottom of the right circle, powering Philadelphia past Anaheim in his first game against his former team.
- Philadelphia controlled play throughout with a 39–18 shots-on-goal edge and a large expected-goals advantage, adding goals from Cam York, Travis Sanheim and an empty-netter by Nikita Grebenkin.
- Bobby Brink exited early after a head hit by Jansen Harkins; Noah Cates fought Harkins and received an instigator, five for fighting and a game misconduct, and the Flyers later confirmed Brink would not return.
- Jamie Drysdale left after a blindside interference hit by Ross Johnston that brought out the stretcher before he was helped off; Johnston was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct and faces potential supplemental discipline.
- Cutter Gauthier was loudly booed yet opened the scoring on the power play, while Zegras continued a point‑per‑game season pace (41 points in 41 games) and punctuated the rivalry-charged night with an expletive-laced postgame celebration.
