VANCOUVER, British Columbia — For the third game in a row, speed forced sloppiness out of the Philadelphia Flyers, and they fell, 6-2, for their third-straight loss.
Through the first, Canucks beat the Flyers to loose pucks, intercepted their passes, and turned the Flyers rebounds the other way. While the Canucks’ execution wasn’t pristine, they still managed to control the pace of the first period.
Even so, the first period was an improvement over the Flyers’ last first period, against the Seattle Kraken. While they had little offensive zone time, they at least were getting shots on goal. After Anthony Beauvillier capitalized on a Travis Sanheim giveaway to score, Scott Laughton tied it on the Flyers’ eighth shot on goal.
