Good goaltending, solid defensive play and timely goal scoring - winning ingredients for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Matched up against their bitter rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Flyers came away with a 2-1 victory to take Rivalry Night on NHL on NBCSN.

Let’s discuss:


  • Could the once lowly Philadelphia Flyers be gaining momentum in the Eastern Conference? That’s three straight victories. Better yet? They’ve allowed a combined three goals in their last three games.
  • Ray Emery, who was at the center of controversy for a goalie fight he instigated on Nov. 1, was sensational for the Flyers on Wednesday. He made 30 saves for the win.
  • Brayden Schenn scored twice for Philadelphia. His second of the night counted as the game-winner. Nothing pretty about it. Standing in front of the net, controlled the puck up after it hit the post and he buries it into the open net.
  • This passing play from Evgeni Malkin and finished off by Sidney Crosby was just nice. Worth another look.
  • The Penguins have been held to one goal in each of their last three games. It’s no surprise that they have lost three straight, as well.
