Tippett, a new face on the unit, helped it survive. That gave the Flyers momentum, and they started to control the pace as Tippett generated multiple opportunities off the rush.
Tippett wasn’t able to turn any of those breakaways into points, but, when the Flyers went on the power play, he capitalized, scoring his sixth power-play goal of the season and his first of the night.That set the tone for the Flyers’ dominant second period. Farabee scored on a rebound four minutes in. Tippett then scored again off a feed from Kevin Hayes.
