Gorgeous glove save by Ersson on Carlsson on a Ducks PP keeps it 3-1.
Ducks catch a break after a Carlsson turnover at his own blue line resulted in a 3-on-1 for the Flyers. Tippett shot high. Now Anaheim heads to the power play after Zamula sailed the puck out of play from his own zone. #FlyTogether
3-1 Flyers after 40 minutes.
Ducks make it 3-1 on the power play and than a couple not so good penalties by Frost and York, but Flyers' PK fights them off.
3-1 as Ducks’ Carlsson cashes in on PP. Flyers’ lead sliced.
Ducks get one back on the power play and it’s the first career power play goal for Leo Carlsson. He rips one past Ersson his off-wing. #FlyTogether
.@NHLFlyers lead Ducks, 2-0, after 1. @CamAtkinson89 has a G and A. Shots: 17-15, Philly.
Flyers have 2-0 lead on Ducks at first intermission. Samuel Ersson was very good, kind of allowed the Flyers to get settled in.
Flyers up 2-0 after 20 minutes. They had a slow first four minutes or so, but after Couturier's goal, they really took over. Clearly the better team so far. Goals from Couturier and Atkinson, and Ersson has been very sharp (15 saves).
McTavish is tripped up in the offensive zone by Couturier, Ducks to the power play. Big chance to create some momentum. #FlyTogether
The Flyers have two goals just 12:31 minutes into tonight's game. They lead Ducks 2-0. The Flyers had one goal over the past two games. The veterans Sean Couturier and Cam Atkinson got the goals tonight around the blue paint.
Atkinson with a redirect of a Sanheim wrister off what looked like it might of been his hand, and it's 2-0. Flyers dominating.
2-0 Flyers. Atkinson tips a shot from the point. #FlyTogether
Ducks scrambling a little bit on the PK. Flyers had the puck in the net but it was long after the whistle was gone. #FlyTogether
1-0 Flyers. Sean Couturier gives Philly the lead after a rebound pops right to him. #FlyTogether
First good chance comes for the Ducks with McTavish all alone in the slot after a nice pass from Strome. Ersson makes the save. #FlyTogether
