Flyers Rebound with Strong Victory Over Canucks

The Philadelphia Flyers showcased their resilience by securing a strong 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, rebounding from a tough loss just days prior. Standout performances came from the fourth line, with Nikita Grebenkin and Carl Grundstrom each scoring, while Rodrigo Abols assisted on both goals.

Matvei Michkov, who had been under scrutiny for his goal drought, scored an empty-netter late in the game, marking a significant moment in his young career. Goaltender Dan Vladar made 23 saves, helping the Flyers dominate in shots with 39 compared to Vancouver's 24.

The Flyers had a solid showing in the first period, with 14 shots but no goals. They broke the deadlock in the second period when Grebenkin deflected Emil Andrae's shot into the net, followed by Grundstrom's goal early in the third.

Christian Dvorak added to the lead with a mid-air swat that was initially disallowed but later confirmed. Although Max Sasson and Drew O'Connor scored for Vancouver, Owen Tippett's late goal and Michkov's empty-netter solidified the Flyers' victory, improving their record to 2-1-4 in their last seven games, as reported by Broad Street Hockey and Deadspin.
