Flyers win 4-1. Connor McDavid held to no shots and just one attempt.
Flyers beat the Oilers by a 4-1 final score, and earned every bit of it. They were the better team tonight by a significant margin.
Sean Walker nets his first goal as a Flyers. Get this it was a short-handed tally 3-1 Flyers
Sean Walker just scored a shorthanded goal against the Oilers. His first with the Flyers. What else is going to happen tonight?
Walker scores first shorty of his career. 3-1, #Flyers.
McDavid turns the puck over at one end; Sean Walker goes high blocker for a SHG at the other. 3-1 Flyers.
Couturier deflects the puck away from McDavid, and then on the ensuing shorthanded rush... Sean Walker (?) scores. What an in-game flip there. 3-1 Flyers.
Brink got stopped at both posts on that sequence by Campbell. Banging on the door for his first goal of the season -- and his NHL career.
Hyman scores on a backhander in front. The Oilers are on the board. It's 2-1 Flyers. Hyman was on with McDavid and Draisaitl. Kane starts the next shift with RNH and Foegele.
And there's the first Edmonton goal. Hyman with a gorgeous backhand form in close. Andrae -- who is getting some shifts with Walker now that Staal is out -- was a bit late getting to him. 2-1 now.
1-0 Flyers. Farabee finishes off a 2-on-2 rush with Brink. Kulak wants interference on that play, but it wasn't called.
Joel Farabee, or Philly Joel gets the Flyers on the board first Bobby Brink with the 🍎 1-0 Flyers
Pretty sloppy period for both teams -- until Farabee scores a gorgeous goal on a give-and-go with Brink. 1-0.
Bobby Brink and Joel Farabee play a nifty two-man game as Flyers strike first. Farabee finishes it as Flyers lead Oilers 1-0.
Fantastic give and go between Brink and Farabee, with the latter putting it into a wide open net. 1-0 Flyers.
