Dominant first period ends tied

The Philadelphia Flyers got off to a fast start on Tuesday, playing with loads of energy. Early on, Matvei Michkov had a breakaway chance early, on his 21st birthday. The Flyers’ star went to the left of Sharks netminder Alex Nedeljkovic, who was able to come up with the stop.

That was just 1:30 into the game.

Philly came out with pace and intensity, the kind of start head coach Rick Tocchet has been looking for all season.

Later in the first, it looked like Ty Murchison had his welcome to the league moment, taking a nice hit from Ryan Reaves. Murchison got right up and gave it back to Reaves.

The Flyers had all of the momentum in the game, firing off 10 shots before the Sharks could even get one.

Will Smith made a nice play to set up John Klingberg, who found Collin Graf with a cross-crease pass, and capitalized on the Sharks’ first shot of the game, giving them the 1-0 lead.

Not long after, the Flyers had a chance on the power play, but could not get anything going. The Sharks killed off the penalty with Trevor Zegras’ late rebound shot being the only real chance.

However, Philadelphia’s next rush would even the score.

Travis Konecny (17) flipped the puck up. A fortunate bounce off Zegras (17) gave Christian Dvorak (7) the separation he needed to bury the breakaway goal.

Konecny’s secondary assist on the goal marked the 500th point of his career.

That goal gave Philly the momentum right back.

The Flyers absolutely dominated the first period, outshooting the Sharks 16-3.

Flyers score three unanswered

At the end of the first, Adam Gaudette got called for a hook on Rodrigo Abols. So, the Flyers started the second period with the 5-on-4 advantage.

As in the first power-play chance, they could not score. But it did not take long for Philadelphia to grow its lead.

It was Carl Grundstrom (1), scoring his first goal as a Flyer against the team that traded him.

Grudnstrom got a piece of the Nick Seeler (4) shot, deflecting it past Nedeljkovic.

With about eight minutes to go in the second, Murchison got crushed by Reaves, again, but again got up and kept pushing back.

It looked like the Grundstrom goal would be the only score in the second, but with 10.9 seconds left, Noah Cates (7) added some cushion.

Bobby Brink (6) found Cates right after the zone entry, and with space, the Flyers center found the back of the net.

The Flyers took their 3-1 lead into the second intermission and did not look back.

No, the Flyers did not beat Nedeljkovic after the Cates goal in the second, but the pressure kept coming. Philly looked solid all game. After the San Jose goal in the first, Philly grabbed hold of the game.

The Sharks had a late chance with a power play, but the Flyers did kill it off with relative ease. It’s worth noting that Rick Tocchet trusted Murchison on the penalty kill in the situation.

Travis Konecny (8) scored on the empty net, and that was the nail in the coffin for the Sharks.

The Flyers would hold on for the 4-1 win vs. the Sharks.

What’s next for the Flyers

The Flyers continue their homestand on Thursday when they host the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
