First Period

Second Period

In the second period, Rodrigo Abols broke through for the Flyers with an assist from Emil Andrae. This goal gave them a slight edge heading into what would be a pivotal final period. Despite several powerplay opportunities for both teams, neither could capitalize on these chances during this segment.

Third Period

The third period was where things truly heated up for Philadelphia. Nikita Grebenkin led an offensive surge that saw him score and assist on another goal by Carl Grundstrom. Matvei Michkov also contributed significantly with his own goal during this explosive stretch.
