The Philadelphia Flyers came away with a big win, taking down the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Monday night.

For 40 minutes, it felt like it would be a very low-event game. The third period took a turn and became an explosive period, with both teams combining for six total goals.

In recent games, the Flyers have backed in, playing some of their worst hockey in the final 20 minutes, letting opponents back into the game, and, in most cases, losing. That was not the case on Monday.

The Flyers entered the third period with a slim one-goal lead. It could have ended very differently for the Flyers. They got the result they wanted, not the result they feared, because they did not back down. Philadelphia kept its foot on the gas and played its best, most aggressive period of the game in the third, sealing the win.

One thing head coach Rick Tocchet has been preaching all season is aggression in front of the net. Well, four of the Flyers’ five goals came from net-front opportunities.

The Flyers’ scoring heatmap from Natural Stat Trick is the perfect example. Getting to the net works.

Speaking of aggressive, have a night, Owen Tippett. The Flyers forward had one of his best games of the season. Tippett tallied 10 shots on goal vs. the Canucks on Monday. Of course, he capped off his fantastic night with a mesmerizing goal, using his speed to break past the Canucks defense for a breakaway goal. Per Natural Stat Trick, Tippett had three high danger chances.

He was impactful on both sides of the puck.

Tippett was not the only Flyer to have a standout game. The fourth line had its best overall game. The trio of Nikita Grebenkin, Rodrigo Abols, and Carl Grundstrom combined for five points. Grebenkin had a goal and a primary assist, Grundstrom contributed a score, and Abols earned two helpers.

What a night for the fourth line, which very clearly had its best game of the season.

Dan Vladar did his part in the Flyers’ win, too.

Vladar returned after being unavailable for the game in New York and stood tall in goal. He had a shutout going until the final seven minutes, when Max Sasson finally broke through for the Canucks.

The Czech netminder turned in a 23-save night. What was more impressive were his 17 stops in the first 40 minutes. After not playing for six days, it’s not always easy to stay sharp in a low-event game. He was not very busy. Despite that, Vladar held his own and denied every Canuck attempt in the first 40 minutes. Vladar was brilliant on Monday.

Before we wrap this up, I want to mention Denver Barkey as well. The 20-year-old, once again, did not look out of place. Just two games into his NHL career, Barkey really looks like he can stick with this team. He is a pesky player who plays hard. Barkey always finds himself around the puck, and once again on Monday, put himself in great scoring positions. It would not surprise me to see him get his first NHL goal, sooner rather than later.

The Flyers play next on Tuesday when they take on the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center.
