The Philadelphia Flyers secured a 3-1 victory against the New Jersey Devils in a defensive battle. Matvei Michkov and Bobby Brink scored for the Flyers, extending their season-best point streak to five games. Samuel Ersson made 12 saves for the Flyers, while Jake Allen stopped 15 shots for the Devils.
NEWARK, N.J. — The Flyers won a defensive grind over the Devils, 3-1, Saturday afternoon at the Prudential Center.
"You just don't want to give up odd-man rushes," Tortorella said."You don't want to overexert and lose your patience. You need to stay on your toes, but also keep your patience. I think it's a huge part of what we're trying to do as a team because that's the way we have to play. We just can't get into run and guns with other teams.
Aside from the start, the Flyers helped Ersson, who came in playing very well. He entered 5-1-0 with a 1.77 goals-against average, .931 save percentage and one shutout since the holiday break.
