Bobby Brink, Joel Farabee and Garnet Hathaway scored to help the Philadelphia Flyers build a three-goal lead and they held on to beat the New Jersey Devils 4-2.
NEWARK—The New Jersey Devils looked slightly different against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday afternoon. With an illness circulating the room, there was some doubt as to who would be in the lineup.
Cates had two assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
Bobby Brink and Travis Konecny scored in the third period, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the New Jersey Devils 3-1.
There was a lot of uncertainty on Monday at the Flyers morning skate. Ahead of the team’s game Monday against the New Jersey Devils at the Wells Fargo Center (7 p.m., NBCSP), coach John Tortorella didn’t have any lineup news aside from saying Sam Ersson will get the start.
On a day when the teams were blocking pucks left and right — they combined for 32 on net — the Flyers beat the New Jersey Devils, 3-1, Saturday. Travis Konecny scored an empty-netter with 3 seconds remaining.
The Flyers held the Devils to a season-low 14 shots. New Jersey’s previous low was 16 shots against Edmonton in a 3-0 win back on Nov. 4. It was also a season low for shots allowed by the Flyers this season. Their previous low was 17 vs. Toronto.
The nine dogs were found in a box in a Lower Merion park. With help from the PSPCA and John Tortorella's "Hockey and Hounds" initiative, six have been adopted so far.
The Devils finally got on the board with 1:13 to play in the period. Ersson got a piece of Dougie Hamilton’s shot but the puck hopped in the air and fell back into the net as Travis Sanheim tried to swipe the puck away with his stick.
New Jersey scored four times in the second period and Jake Allen made 24 saves as the Devils defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 5-0 on Wednesday.
Tickets for next season will increase by an average of $5 per game, according to Comcast Spectacor CEO Dan Hilferty.
