It was a sloppy start for the Jackets, which you’d have expected after having close to a week off. They passed an early penalty kill test around five minutes into the period, thanks in large part to a very good Sergei Bobrovsky who did his part in keeping the Jackets in the game early.
However, it was the Flyers who struck first on a tip-in by Travis Konecny right in front. Right place, right time, bad luck for Blue Jackets.
But, it wasn’t 1-0 for long, as Anthony Duclair scored the goal of the year to tie it.
