► FOLLOW ALONG
• That’s period. Shots are 12-11 for the visitors. Flyers up, 16-15, in shot attempts. Silovs was the best player on either side.
• Fairly thorough kill, capped by Dewar nearly poking one past Vladar at the far end.
• Fourth line brings the bang, but Acciari ends it going off for a hold … that’s the wrong call. Dude skated into his left arm that was holding the stick along the end boards.
• Nothing on that. One nice sequence.
• A lot better from PP1. They’re not putting the puck to the middle, but they did get people there. Works all the same.
• Soderblom gets stuck in the face by Drysdale. He’ll sit. Right in front of the ref, too.
• The intensity’s super-high. The visitors are matching it.
• Silovs’ first ugly rebound. He’s making the first save, though. Looks sharp in that regard.
• Five turnovers at the blue line already.
• Geno shoots on a two-on-one with Sid. Right call. Not much to the shot.
• Tippett gets a good chance on Silovs, tries to Rusty it around him, but Silovs sticks that left toe way out there. Solovyov can’t get beaten like that.
• Early shot for Chinakhov, then a tip. That’s ideal.
• Good wrister off the rush for Karlsson. Vladar didn’t have an easy time gloving it.
• Obvious already the Flyers’ plan will be to just put the puck on Silovs, crash, screen, all that.
• Back-to-back icings isn’t awesome, but they’ve been misfires, not panic.
• Faceoff: Sid vs. Glendening, 7:41 p.m.
