If you stayed up to watch the Philadelphia Flyers take on the Sharks on opening night, you were treated with the best of all rewards: a visit to Wayne’s World. Wayne Simmonds posted a hat trick, lifting the Flyers to a 5-3 victory and putting them at the top of the Metropolitan Division. Playoffs, baby.
While there were some rough patches (that start of the first period, yikes), the team was able to, per tradition, lean on their powerplay to get the W. The Flyers were 3 for 5 on PP chances, hardly missing a beat from past years.
