Vancouver Canucks at Philadelphia Flyers
· National Hockey LeagueLankinen stops 26 shots as Vancouver blanks Philadelphia 3-0
Nils Hoglander, Brock Boeser and Kyle Sherwood scored for the Canucks, who spoiled Philadelphia's home opener and the first NHL home game for top Flyers' prospects Matvei Michkov and Jett Luchanko.
The Canucks controlled play for most of the game and took advantage Philadelphia's defensive breakdowns for a pair of goals.
Samuel Ersson made 29 saves for Philadelphia, which lost its fourth consecutive game (0-3-1) after winning its season opener against the Canucks in Vancouver.
Flyers: In another milestone game, Philadelphia captain Sean Couturier played in his 800th career game. However, the veteran center was demoted to the fourth line and on the left wing by coach John Tortorella before the game. Once the Flyers fell behind 3-0, Couturier was shifted back to center, but he couldn’t spark the team's offense.
Philadelphia is also off until Tuesday night when it hosts Washington in the first of back-to-back games against the Capitals.
