Sam Ersson kept the game within reach early, as the Flyers tied things up in the third and defeated the Vancouver Canucks in a shootout in Friday night's season opener.
The Flyers open things up on Friday night at Wells Fargo Center going against the Vancouver Canucks. After last season, it's already refreshing for the Flyers to be facing a team from the Western Conference that they haven't seen in quite some time. It also marks the first chance for this new group of players to make their mark on the team and start the season off on a positive note.
