TURNING POINT
The game seemed to be headed for overtime until Brink went hard to the net and was rewarded by the game-winning goal.
POSTGAME 5
1) The Laughton line took the game's first shift. The Flyers won the draw and went right to the attack with the game's first three shots on goal. St. Louis had three of the next four. The Flyers went on the first power play at 4:42.
2) Michkov was skipped on several shift rotations in the first period after he was caught too low on a puck support opportunity. He returned to the ice with 5:58 remaining in the first period. With 2:45 left, after three failed clears, the Laughton line took an icing. Seeler came up with a clutch block to relieve pressure. Throughout that entire span, St. Louis was unable to generate a shot on net. First period shots were 7-6 Blues.
3) At 2:34 of the second period, Johnson was penalized for interference. The Flyers killed it off without allowing a shot on goal. At 4:55, Oskar Sundvist was called for an offensive zone tripping minor. Right after that penalty expired at 7:53, Couturier was sent off for tripping.
4) After all the special teams, the Fyers started to find some rhythm in the latter portion of the second period. Frost nearly scored on a between-the-legs shot from a tight angle near the right post. Binnington did a good job of sealing off the short side. Second period shots on goal were 10-7 Flyers (16-14 Flyers through 40 minutes). Ersson's shutout streak was up to 126 minutes, 32 seconds.
5) The Flyers to their third power play at 5:20 of the third period. Michkov had a very strong shift. Philly was still unable to cash in.
