The Philadelphia Flyers routed the Anaheim Ducks 6-0 at home, snapping a four-game losing streak. Travis Konecny shone with four assists, and Samuel Ersson stopped all 22 shots for his second shutout of the season. Philadelphia’s balanced attack saw five players, including former Duck Jamie Drysdale, notch both a goal and an assist.
Early Goals Set the Tone
The Flyers built momentum early, scoring twice in the first period. Morgan Frost redirected a Konecny shot for the opening goal, followed by Drysdale’s power-play strike from another Konecny feed. These goals energized the Flyers and put Anaheim on the back foot.
In the second period, Konecny continued his playmaking dominance, setting up Owen Tippett’s one-timer during a 2-on-1 rush. The goal extended Philadelphia’s lead to 3-0 and underscored Konecny’s pivotal role in driving the team’s offense throughout the game.
Flyers Seal Win with Dominant Third Period
The Flyers added three goals in the final frame. Rookie Matvei Michkov buried a rebound for his 13th goal of the season, while Garnet Hathaway and Ryan Poehling combined for two quick goals, further securing the victory.
Ersson’s stellar goaltending marked his seventh career shutout. Meanwhile, Anaheim’s offensive woes continued as they were outscored 15-4 during their three-game skid. Cutter Gauthier, facing his former team, managed only three shots and a minus-1 rating for the Ducks.
