What Happened
Philadelphia opened the scoring just over two minutes in when Michael Bunting chipped the puck up the boards to Christian Dvorak, collected the loose puck after Luke Schenn broke up the play and beat Leevi Merilainen. Travis Konecny made it 2-0 at 3:05 of the second, deflecting a Matvei Michkov feed at the top of the crease. Jonathan Lekkerimaki answered with a Vancouver power-play goal midway through the third period, but the Canucks could not find an equalizer. Joseph Woll stopped 18 of 19 shots for the Flyers.
