Postgame RAV4 (RAV4 Things Revisited)

1. Noah Cates

The Flyers’ center, who leads the team in scoring since the Olympic break, asserted himself in a major way as Philly bounced back quickly from a Chicago goal and started to pull away.

2. Puck possession and management

Chicago is a team that often struggles with turnovers in dangerous areas of the ice. The Flyers took full advantage to build a two-goal lead before the game was three minutes old.

3. Bear down on scoring chances

Philly converted each of their first two opportunities into goals and nearly scored again  Overall, the first period was sloppy for both teams but the Flyers emerged from it well set up for the game. They remained opportunistic in the middle stanza — getting to the middle of the ice and attacking the net.

4. Contain Bedard

The Blackhawks’ leading scorer  wired home his 30th goal to briefly narrow Philly’s edge. Through two periods, he had three shots on goal.
