Flyers outlast Canucks for 3-1 victory

The Philadelphia Flyers secured a 3-1 victory over the struggling Vancouver Canucks on Monday, overcoming a late rally by the Canucks. Michael Bunting, Travis Konecny, and Travis Sanheim scored for the Flyers, while Christian Dvorak added two assists. Joseph Woll made 18 saves for Philadelphia, who had suffered a 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames in Calgary the previous night.

Vancouver responded with a power-play goal from Jonathan Lekkerimaki midway through the third period, but couldn't secure the equalizer. Leevi Merilainen made 14 stops for Vancouver as they lost their sixth game in a row. Bunting opened the scoring just over two minutes into the game on Monday, setting up Dvorak for the goal. The Flyers capitalized on a power-play opportunity in the second period, with Matvei Michkov setting up Konecny for his second goal of the season.

Just 25 seconds into the third period, Trevor Zegras assisted on Tyson Foerster's goal. The Canucks challenged for an offside zone entry after a video review, but the goal was called back. With Bunting serving a two-minute penalty for elbowing, Lekkerimaki scored for Vancouver at the 12:44 mark of the third period. Despite Vancouver's extended 6-on-4 advantage, Sanheim scored an empty-net goal with 58.3 seconds left on the clock.
