First Period


The opening period saw both teams locked in a defensive battle, with neither side managing to find the back of the net. The Flyers displayed strong defensive play, effectively blocking shots and maintaining pressure on the Golden Knights' offense. Despite being outshot by Vegas, Philadelphia's goaltender Samuel Ersson made crucial saves to keep his team in contention.


Second Period


As the second period unfolded, it was evident that special teams would play a significant role. The Golden Knights capitalized on one of their seven powerplay opportunities when Tomas Hertl scored midway through this segment. However, despite facing multiple penalties themselves, including seven minor infractions throughout the game, Philadelphia's penalty kill unit remained steadfast.
