The Flyers earned some much-needed breathing room in the Metropolitan Division. Owen Tippett's early goal started the puck rolling.over the Toronto Maple Leafs, the third game of their seven-game gauntlet, was a different game than the one these two teams had just five days ago to kickstart the stretch.
“I think in our locker room, we kind of approach every game the same and Coots does so many good things,” center Frost added. “So I felt a lot of guys did a good job stepping up for him today and he’s still our leader and we all love him.” “In the second there, a lot of Grade A chances that he had to face. I think in the third he’s facing a lot as well and he just came up big at a lot of times,” Sanheim said. “We expect that now. That’s kind of his job and he’s doing a great job at it.”
It also didn’t hurt that the Flyers went back to their old ways of blocking shots. The team blocked 36, led by Egor Zamula’s seven, compared to eight by the Leafs. In the second period, Cam York made a goal-saving block on a shot by Max Domi after a cross-crease pass by Matthews.The first shift of any period is meant to set the tone. Get the puck deep and either get a whistle that sets up the next line’s start in the offensive zone or score.
“My linemates have been making some good space for me and trying to shoot the puck a little bit more,” Frost said. “I think that’s always been a thing with me. I don’t have a very hard shot but you’re never going to score if you don’t put it on net. So just trying to throw more pucks to the net and when you’re playing with guys like Tip and TK sometimes it can be easy to just want to pass to them the whole game and find them.
