1st Period:
The Flyers started the all-important game three trading high quality chances with the Penguins. Brian Elliott stopped a point blank chance from Justin Schultz, and then Matt Murray made a fantastic stop on Nolan Patrick who had burned the Pens defense for a partial breakaway. Then Travis Konecny laid a big hit and after receiving a puck to the face, the physicality of this series began to appear.
Moments later, Jori Lehtera created a fantastic scoring chance darting up the middle and finding a streaking Travis Sanheim who was stopped by the right pad of Murray.
