PHILADELPHIA – Cale Makar hit for a double in the middle frame on Monday night to give the visiting Colorado Avalanche a 2-0 lead over the Flyers, headed to the third period.
“He got two, I’m not sure about the third one that was disallowed,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. “He got into some good areas on some nice plays from some other players on our team, [Nathan MacKinnon] fed across on the one right into the slot. Just picked the right spots, I felt like tonight, to get up in the rush and join, especially on the entries into the [offensive] zone. In the [offensive] zone play he was pretty active. He found himself in the slot two or three times, all alone, and he didn’t make any mistakes on those.”
The Avs’ Casey Mittelstadt extended the lead to 3-0 in the third before the Flyers tried to mount a rally, eventually losing, 3-2.
“I felt like we were offensively rolling,” Makar said. “When the forwards are moving around it’s fun for us as [defensemen]. We can kind of move up top and create space. So yeah, I thought we were working out well.”
Justus Annunen made 24 saves in the Colorado win.
The Flyers waited until after the midway point of the third period to get on the board.
Owen Tippett scored to make it 3-1, and and Tyson Foerster scored just under two minutes later to trim the deficit to 3-2. That was close as the Flyers would get in the loss.
“We put ourselves in a chance to win the game and that’s all you can ask,” the Flyers’ Travis Konecny said. “It didn’t play out the way we wanted it to maybe the first half of the game, but we stuck with it. We’ve been doing the right things and starting to get the results. Tonight we didn’t get it.”
Aleksei Kolosov made 26 saves in the loss.
