Hoping to avoid a four game losing streak coming in, the Philadelphia Flyers traveled to St. Louis to face the Blues in their second last game of the year.
Brian Elliott received the start from Interim Head Coach Scott Gordon and opposed Jordan Binnington in-net. Binnington entered the contest with a 1.85 Goals-Against Average and a .928 save percentage. The Flyers needed to put on a better two way performance than they did in their last contest if they wanted snap this losing skid.
The first period was, in a word, eventful.
