Jake Voracek extended his points streak to seven games on a great feed from Claude Giroux. Chris VandeVelde was quickly taken off the top line to get Wayne Simmonds better chances.

The Florida Panthers had the first pick of the 2014 NHL Draft in Philadelphia in June. That pick, defenseman Aaron Ekblad, was on the ice for the Flyers first game of November in Florida. Ekblad and the rest of the Panthers defense contributed to thwarting every attempt the Flyers made to score. The Flyers didn't […]
There were no penalties called in the first period. In the second, nine were called between the two teams.
