PHILADELPHIA – The Flyers surrendered two first period goals to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday and then rallied back with two strikes in the middle frame and a game winner in third period from Travis Konecny with just over six minutes left on the clock for a 3-2 win.
“Everyone’s just playing hard,” Konecny said. “Everyone’s moving their feet. It’s really attractive and you kind of latch on to guys when they’re playing that way and you just kind of jump over the boards, you do what the last guy did and you just build off each other.”
Carter Hart made 28 saves in the Flyers win.
Vancouver took the early lad off goals from Kyle Burroughs and Conor Garland.
“Really frustrated,” Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau said. “Quite frankly, we’re 0-for-5 on the power pay and they’re 1-for-5 and they score a short-handed goal. There’s the difference in the game.”
Tony DeAngelo and Scott Laughton scored to get the Flyers even at 2-2.
“It’s not as hard as you think,” Konecny said. “If you just time when it’s coming down, as soon as you touch it, the puck dies. I just knew I had the goalie. I knew right away he thought he was going to be able to cover it, so I had him. But it’s just one of those lucky plays for me.”
Thatcher Demko made 28 saves in the loss.
