The Flyers managed to secure a point in Salt Lake City on Tuesday as they continue to adapt their lineup while waiting for Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier. Several moments stood out during the game.
Bobby Brink showed promise in the first period by winning a puck along the left side and making his way toward the net. The Flyers hope such plays from Brink will become more frequent.
Emil Andrae had a notable performance, particularly in the first period with four shots on goal. One of these shots was highlighted for its sneakiness, coming close into his body with minimal load-up, potentially surprising goalies under certain conditions.
Erik Johnson maintained stability within the Flyers' lineup. In two instances, he broke up dangerous scoring opportunities. In one play, he anticipated an opponent's move early and ensured control by directing traffic and effectively blocking a passing lane. Later, he disrupted another centering pass before it could develop fully.
Additionally, during Utah’s third-period power play, Nick Schmaltz positioned himself for a high-danger chance. However, Noah Cates intervened subtly with a stick flick that redirected the puck away from Schmaltz without needing a significant check.
