Flyers Blank Sharks 4-0 on New Year's Eve

The Philadelphia Flyers secured a decisive 4-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks, marking the Sharks' eighth consecutive loss. Nick Seeler, Ryan Poehling, Travis Konecny, and Egor Zamula contributed goals for the Flyers, with Konecny scoring on a power play that ended a 0-for-16 drought. Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson recorded 15 saves before leaving the game due to an undisclosed injury, with Aleksei Kolosov stepping in to preserve the shutout by stopping all seven shots he faced in the third period. The Flyers dominated the game, outshooting the Sharks 34-22 and maintaining an impenetrable defense, which limited San Jose's scoring opportunities. Both teams featured top rookie players, with Matvei Michkov leading all rookies in points, while Sharks' Macklin Celebrini struggled to make an impact. The Flyers, now 17-17-4, look to build on this momentum in their next matchup against the Golden Knights.
