Couturier leads the way as Flyers top Maple Leafs in shootout, avoid playoff elimination

Sam Morin, hello.

PUCK DROP

The Flyers had the better of the early chances with a Scott Laughton deflection and then a James van Riemsdyk shot off the post behind Frederik Andersen. JVR had three goals in two games against his former team coming into tonight’s action.

But even with a strong start for the Flyers, it would be the visitors to record the first goal of the night. Connor Brown was the beneficiary of some great work from Tyler Ennis as the Maple Leafs took a 1-0 lead just 5:03 in.
