After the collapse against the Bruins Wednesday night, it certainly seemed like the Flyers came out looking hungry in the first period. Both teams traded chances in the opening minutes until Boston’s Brandon Carlo took a holding penalty, granting the Flyers their first of several man advantages.
While the powerplay lagged, Boston’s perfection line seemed dangerous quickly, and a Scott Laughton slash granted the Bruins a powerplay midway through the first.
