First Period


The opening period saw the Flyers take an early lead with a goal that set the tone for their performance. The Panthers struggled to find their rhythm, with only a few shots on goal and no points scored. Despite winning more faceoffs than their opponents, they couldn't capitalize on these opportunities.


Second Period


In the second period, Sam Reinhart emerged as a key player for Florida. He contributed significantly by scoring one of his team's two goals and assisting another. His efforts helped keep the Cats competitive against Philadelphia's strong defense. The period ended with both teams adding one point each to their tally.

Third Period


The final period was decisive as Philadelphia surged ahead with three additional goals, including two empty-netters that sealed their victory. The Panthers managed another goal but were unable to close the gap further despite several powerplay opportunities and solid shorthanded play from players like Aaron Ekblad who showed resilience throughout.


Sam Reinhart's performance stood out among his teammates; he was instrumental in both of Florida's goals and earned recognition as one of the game's stars alongside Sean Couturier from Philadelphia who played an exceptional match contributing significantly to his team's success.
