The Philadelphia Flyers took an early lead against the Nashville Predators with a goal by Morgan Frost, assisted by Bobby Brink and Owen Tippett, just 1:31 into the game. Frost's goal marked a strong start for the Flyers, who have a season record of 15-1-0 when scoring first. The Flyers led the shots 13-9 after the first period, despite Nashville leading in shot attempts. The Flyers' power play, which was 10 for 100 before the game, struggled and conceded a shorthanded goal to the Predators, tying the game at 1-1. Sean Couturier scored a power play goal, with Frost assisting, to regain the lead for the Flyers, but the Predators tied it again at 2-2 by the second intermission, with the Flyers leading shots 26-18. The Predators, dealing with a game misconduct penalty, eventually won the game 4-2. In another game, Travis Sanheim provided his 19th and 20th assists of the season in a Flyers comeback against the Detroit Red Wings, where they tied the game at 5-5 after being down 5-1. The Predators faced the Dallas Stars and led 2-0 after two periods, but the Stars, failing to score on their power play, made a historic comeback with two goals in the final 15 seconds for a 3-2 win, a feat never before seen in NHL regular season history.

Flyers get their all-important first goal from Morgan Frost. The puck went off his skate, over the net and off the back of Nashville netminder Juuse Saros. Frost couldn't help but smile about the fortuitous bounce. Flyers are 15-1-0 when they score first.
From behind net, Frost lifted the puck high in the air and it bounced off Saros’ back and in. #Flyers
Well that was quick. Morgan Frost scores off an odd bounce (he basically just popped the puck up in the air while behind the net), and it's 1-0. When it's going your way in hockey, it's REALLY going your way. And it is right now for the Flyers.
