Flyers Top Canucks 3-2 in Shootout

The Philadelphia Flyers secured their first win of the 2024-25 NHL season with a 3-2 shootout victory over the Vancouver Canucks, thanks to Morgan Frost's decisive goal. Regulation goals were scored by Tyson Foerster and Cam York for the Flyers, while Teddy Blueger and Nils Hoglander found the net for Vancouver. Despite being outplayed for much of the game, the Flyers managed to pull off the win with strong performances from goalie Samuel Ersson, who made 24 saves, and a solid penalty kill that thwarted all five of Vancouver's power plays. The Canucks, who lost their second consecutive game in extra time, faced difficulties in maintaining their lead, especially after defenseman Tyler Myers left the game due to injury. Rookie Matvei Michkov made his NHL debut for the Flyers, showcasing skill despite not scoring. The Flyers will next face the Calgary Flames, while the Canucks prepare for a road challenge against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
