Game Highlights


The Flyers took control early on, scoring two goals in the first period and maintaining their momentum with one more in the second and three additional goals in the third.

Anaheim Ducks' Struggle

Despite attempting 22 shots on goal, they were unable to convert any into points due to Ersson's outstanding goaltending for Philadelphia. The Ducks also faced difficulties staying disciplined; they incurred eleven penalties totaling thirty penalty minutes which hindered their ability to maintain consistent pressure.
