A hooking penalty on Travis Sanheim just 46 seconds in gave the Golden Knights a great opportunity to take control of the game early. However, they failed to capitalize despite moving the puck very well and getting some good looks.
The Flyers got on the board with their very first shot of the game, thanks to a point shot from Justin Braun that Vegas goalie Robin Lehner appeared to have misplayed. The goal definitely came as a shock after Vegas had dominated the game and control of the puck up to that point.
Justin Braun wrists one home from the blue line to get the Flyers going early on in the first!
