Cam York scored the opening goal for the Philadelphia Flyers, giving them an early lead against the New York Rangers after Travis Konecny made K'Andre Miller look stupid on a rush up the right side of the ice. The goal, which came just 3:21 into the game, was a result of Konecny's strong shift and subsequent assist to York. Despite the Flyers not touching the puck for the first three minutes, and Kaapo Kakko's saved backhand attempt for the Rangers, Philadelphia secured a 1-0 lead. Konecny displayed plenty of emotion after the assist, indicating the Flyers' positive start and fight in the game. However, the score was tied 1-1 after 20 minutes, showcasing that despite the Flyers' early lead and York's significant development this season, the game was evenly matched.
Score tied 1-1 after 20 minutes. As I said on @PHLY_Flyers this week and in my column after Tuesday's game, I don't need to see the Flyers win these remaining games. Just want to see them finish in a non-embarrassing way. That period was decidedly not-embarrassing.
