First Period
We learned not long before gametime that Charlie McAvoy would be out with an upper-body injury... so, instead of returning from injury In a more favorable - and traditional - spot in the lineup, Kevan Miller became Boston’s first-pair right side defenseman with very little notice. (Yeah, he probably knew earlier, but WE didn’t.)
Fortunately, the early going was quite fast, lending itself well to the skating skill of Miller and Matt Grzelcyk - and, with the McAvoy injury, Steve Kampfer stayed in the lineup as well. All of them move well and could help manage and counter the Flyers’ attack.
