Saturday’s game against Vancouver had all the makings of a game the Flyers would typically lose. They trailed 2-0 at the end of the first and were going to have to climb back into the game to start the season with a second-straight win.
Even when they did get the game evened up, there was still a final period to play out. But they managed to win the period and claim their second victory of the season. Now the team hits the road for the first time, and gets a major test early in the season. The defending three-time Eastern Conference champions await as the Flyers face the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.
Game time is at 7 p.m.
Team Leaders
Travis Konecny is off to a hot start this season. After scoring a pair of goals in the opener, he scored the game-winning goal on Saturday. He also added an assist on Saturday to post another multi-point game.

Carter Hart rebounded after allowing a pair of first-period goals to get his second win of the season, making 28 saves. He’ll get the call again as the Flyers take on the Lightning on Tuesday.
