Flyers win their season opener. Nice.
#Flyers have a 2-1 lead after two.
Second period comes to a merciful end for the #CBJ ... who were bailed out by Merzlikins and lost Werenski to an apparent right knee injury on a hit by Hathaway that was ruled a kneeing penalty. Jackets trail Flyers 2-1 with a period to go.
No scoring in the 2nd period so the Flyers lead #CBJ 2-1 after 40 minutes. Philadelphia now up in shots on goal, 27-24.
Flyers still lead Blue Jackets, 2-1, at second intermission. Carter Hart has 23 saves.
Hathaway penalty aside, strong second period for Flyers, who outshoot Jackets 14-9. Still 2-1 lead after two. Flyers still without a power play, are 2-for-2 on the PK.
Two periods down at Nationwide, #CBJ still in a 2-1 hole after a scoreless second period, but the mood has been dampened considerably by the injury to Zach Werenski.
Flyers still up 2-1 after 40 minutes of play. They dominated the bulk of that period, but there was a pushback from Columbus after the Werenski injury.
#Flyers lead 2-1 after two
#Flyers Hathaway appeared to knee Werenski along the end boards. Officials reviewing this now at 14:22 of the second.
Still 2-1 here in Nationwide as we've passed the midway point, but the Flyers have had the better of things in the second. #CBJ
#CBJ to the PP after Couturier sent off for tripping near the mid-point in the 2nd, Flyers up 2-1.
The Flyers are well conditioned. Love their start to both periods this far
