The Flyers struck first in a blazing fast first period that ended with some rough play. Danny Briere was the goal scorer, but the play really belonged to Scott Hartnell who flipped a no look, backhanded pass on the power play to Briere who knocked it into to open net.
The period ended with a big scrum around the Flyers net that will end up giving the Flyers a power play to start the second period. Dustin Byfuglien will be the guy headed to the box.
