Effort That led to a Goal - Jake Voracek circled the net, walked out the other side and dug his first attempt back out of Brendan Smith's' skate to get the puck to Sean Couturier in the goal mouth. Couturier's tip-in put the Flyers up in the third period against the Red Wings for as long as it lasted.
Rush - Pierre-Edouard Bellemare forced a turnover, Michal Del Zotto quickly wheeled the puck up to Raffl, hustled into the play, and despite considerable interference from Mikko Koivu, redirected a Raffl feed with his skate for a goal. Quintessential statement of Del Zotto's value to this team. Flyers got out of the second period against the Wild tied.
Response - By Del Zotto. Six minutes earlier, he had been beaten by Koivu into the slot on the goal that put Minnesota up 2-1.
Second Best Response - By Michael Raffl to Friday's benching. The following night, he started the forecheck that led to Brandon Manning's goal, fed Del Zotto's, and drew the trip that resulted in Braden Schenn's overtime winner.
Pass - Between the legs by Wayne Simmonds from behind the net to Brayden Schenn for the third-period winner against Minnesota.
Use of Patience - Schenn didn't just fire the puck into Devan Dubnyk, made the goalie commit and went around him.
Save - Mason, across the goalmouth with the left skate on Eric Staal with four seconds remaining to preserve the win over the Wild. Missed this one? WATCH IT BELOW…
