Zegras tied it 1-1 on the power play at 5:18. His one-timer from the right face-off circle went past Skinner’s glove.<\/p>\n
The Flyers, who had the League’s worst power play during the regular season (15.7 percent), were 0-for-8 with the man-advantage to that point of the series.<\/p>\n
“Kind of struggled a little bit the first couple of games,” Zegras said. “Thought we had some good looks, but obviously just didn’t capitalize. So nice seeing one go in on the power play.”<\/p>\n
Philadelphia was on the power play after all 10 skaters on the ice were sent to the penalty box following a scrum that began with Rust and Flyers forward Travis Konecny<\/a>\u00a0falling to the ice behind the Pittsburgh net. The Flyers got a power play when Rust was assessed a double-minor for roughing.<\/p>\n “It took forever to get back playing hockey,” Skinner said. “Everyone was just sitting around for what felt like forever. I don’t remember waiting that long for a puck drop maybe ever. Obviously, circumstances had it that the refs had to take some time. It just took a while. And then it was able to benefit them. … And then momentum shifts. They score a goal.”<\/p>\n Ristolainen put the Flyers ahead 2-1 at 9:06 with a shot from the right face-off circle between Skinner’s pads.<\/p>\n Seeler then made it 3-1 at 11:18 when he scored from the point off a D-to-D pass from Juulsen.<\/p>\n “‘Juuls’ made a great play over to me,” Seeler said. “We had a great screen in front and I’m thankful it went in.”<\/p>\n
