Uncalled penalties and sloppy play in all zones held the Flyers back tonight. Despite keeping the shots in their favor (33-25), they fell 6-2 to the Anaheim Ducks in their most discouraging effort of the season.
Here’s Radko Gudas with a good representation of how the game went tonight.
The first period kicked into motion with a face-off violation penalty by Anaheim at 1:57, sending the Flyers on the first power play of the game early on. John Gibson had a huge save up close on a textbook Wayne Simmonds redirection, but aside from that chance, the effort as a whole looked fairly underwhelming.
