Dvorak Assists Flyers as They Outlast Canucks 3-1 in Battle of Struggling Squads
Rick Tocchet’s return to Vancouver ended with the Flyers converting 1 of 2 power-play chances and Joseph Woll making 18 saves.
On Monday, the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 at Rogers Arena, with former Canucks coach Rick Tocchet returning to Vancouver for the victory.
Struggling after six consecutive losses, the Canucks were heavily outplayed through two periods as Philadelphia's faster pace, crisp passing, and easy zone exits overwhelmed the home team.
Michael Bunting and Travis Konecny scored for the Flyers, while goalie Joseph Woll stopped 18 shots; Jonathan Lekkerimaki scored the lone goal for the Canucks on a third-period power play.
Vancouver pressed for an equalizer late with a 6-on-4 power play, but Travis Sanheim sealed the win with an empty-net goal with 58 seconds remaining.
The Canucks host the New York Rangers on Friday, while the Flyers visit the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.
