First Period
Much of the opening minutes in this one featured a typical game vs. a Ken Hitchcock coached team. Tight checking and not a lot of high quality scoring chances dominated the start tonight, although the Flyers contributed to this with a touch of over passing. Wayne Simmonds had a chance to dart to the net or simply skate in and take a shot, but chose to pass to Jakub Voracek. Later, around the halfway mark of the period, Travis Konecny had a seemingly good chance on a cross ice one timer, but attempted a pass to the net front that was knocked down.
