In a rematch of last week’s season opening Flyers victory in Vancouver, the Canucks came into South Philadelphia and returned the favor in a shutout of the Orange and Black. Spoiling the night for the Flyers was goalie Kevin Lankinen, whose 26 save shutout quieted a crowd ready for a Michkov explosion. But, to be very honest, it’s not like the Flyers were incredibly deserving in this one – the Canucks thoroughly outplayed the Flyers in the first half of the game and the Flyers put on a clinic in missing the net in the second half of it.
