Reflecting on key moments from the match: "Between the pipes -- Kolosov: The Belarusian rookie had a just OK performance in a game where the Flyers needed nearly flawless goaltending to win." Additionally: "Big chance for Ryan Poehling: In their second game starting together...Poehling played a season-high 18:22 on 24 shifts."

The team's lineup saw various players like Tyson Foerster paired alongside Noah Cates and Bobby Brink; other lines included Owen Tippett with Ryan Poehling and Travis Konecny as well as Scott Laughton accompanied by Morgan Frost among others.
