1st Period Notes:
– Just over 3 minutes into the first, Travis Konecny rips a shot home off a beauty cross ice pass from Gostisibehere. Flyers are buzzing early.
– Filppula scores at 8:30 of the first. Received a nice chip pass from below the goal line from Raffl.
– Provorov jams home a rebound in the crease after Konecny dances are multiple Devils players at the hash marks and puts a shot on net. Konecny has looked fantastic of late and the same is true of this game.
– Kinkaid is injured on the Provorov goal and leaves the ice. Appleby comes on to relieve him and also to make his NHL debut. He faces the first 3 shots of his NHL career in rapid succession as he allows to rebounds off a Wayne Simmonds shot before covering up. Flyers continue to own this first period.
– Raffl bumps into Appleby behind the Devils net and Moore takes issue with it. They drop the gloves and trade a few punches before Moore hits the ice.
– Laughton is called for a trip with 2:24 left in the 1st. Devils PP.
– Palmieri is called for a boarding penalty with 45 seconds remaining in the period. Flyers get their man back and will start the 2nd on a PP.
– Period ends 3-0.

2nd Period Notes:
– NJD kill the penalty and it’s back to even strength. Manning is called for a Roughing penalty against Noesen, probably should’ve been a call for each side.
– Philadelphia kills the PP but Laughton is called right after for a High Stick. Bratt scores on the PP as his scores goes off the pad of Neuvirth. He almost had that one.
– Palmieri is called for delay of game after he fires the puck over the glass behind the Flyers bench. The Flyers get decent pressure but can’t find the back of the net.
– Hall is called for a high stick just a minute after Palmieri’s penalty ended. Flyers still can’t find twine though and the game goes back to even strength.
– Appleby has been phenomenal since he entered this game. Philadelphia has had plenty of quality chances since then but he’s been up to the task.
– Zajac is called for roughing with 31 seconds left in the period. The Flyers will start the period on the PP.
