PHILADELPHIA — With offensively gifted, viral-goal-scoring Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras sitting on the visiting bench on Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center, center Morgan Frost issued a reminder that the Flyers boast some skill of their own.
Frost’s between-the-legs goal at the side of the net highlighted the Flyers 5-2 victory over the Ducks, a resounding rebound against one of the league’s worst team’s after suffering a 6-0 drubbing by one of its best in the Boston Bruins the day before. Winger James van Riemsdyk, known for his slick stickhandling with the puck at the front of the net, watched on in appreciation as Frost scored his ninth of the season.
The Flyers never trailed against the lowly Ducks, thanks to a hat trick from forward Kevin Hayes (one power play, one even strength, one empty net), plus goals from defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (shorthanded) and Frost. They dominated the Ducks in the first period, outshooting them, 17-4. Through 60 minutes, the Flyers outshot the Ducks, 39-27.
