In their final game of a six-game homestand, and the first of a home-and-home, the Philadelphia Flyers put on a show in the first 20 minutes against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Winger Trevor Zegras had his name all over the first period scoresheet, providing a pair of points in the process.
Blind Pass to Brink
Just about seven minutes after killing off a tripping penalty against Matvei Michkov, the Flyers began to put up a barrage of shots against Hurricanes netminder Pyotr Kochetkov, making only his fifth start of the season.
Halfway through the first period, Travis Sanheim stole the puck away from Sebastian Aho in the Flyers end, sending a kick-pass to Zegras who bolted towards the neutral zone. Zegras skated into the Carolina end, leaving the puck behind him for Bobby Brink who took a shot from the slot, over the shoulder of Kochetkov, giving the Flyers a 1-0 lead.
