The Philadelphia Flyers secured a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils, building a three-goal lead with goals from Bobby Brink, Joel Farabee, and Garnet Hathaway. Scott Laughton contributed with a goal and an assist, helping the Flyers break a two-game losing streak and achieve their fourth consecutive home win. Travis Konecny and Rasmus Ristolainen each added two assists, while Samuel Ersson made 31 saves in goal. The Devils managed to score twice but were unable to equalize, with Dougie Hamilton and Timo Meier finding the net. An empty-net goal from Laughton sealed the win for the Flyers.
Brink opened the scoring with a power-play goal late in the first period, quickly followed by Farabee's goal just 28 seconds later. Hathaway's goal extended the lead to three in the second period before Hamilton and Meier scored for New Jersey, who were missing captain Nico Hischier due to injury. The teams will face off again in New Jersey on Wednesday night.
