In an intense derby, the Penguins took an early lead thanks to Mark Jankowski (6th). With two similar goals in their first two majority games, the Flyers turned the game around in the first third. James van Riemsdyk (16) and Nolan Patrick (20), who had missed the entire previous season due to migraine problems, each deflected a shot from defender Erik Gustafsson.
Pittsburgh also responded on the power game through Sidney Crosby (24th) following a Carter Hart error. The superstar caught a failed goalie attempt from the air and fired into the empty goal. The Flyers’ renewed lead by Joel Farabee (39th), who also booked three assists, was offset by the guests with Brandon Tanev (44th).
But Raffl finally put Philadelphia on the road to victory after Scott Laugthon’s submission. Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes made it all clear with a double strike in 20 seconds (53rd).
