- On Saturday, the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in a shootout at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with Kirill Marchenko scoring the decisive backhand in the third round.
- Despite extended five-on-four time, the Flyers couldn't score on the power play, with Natural Stat Trick logging 13 attempts and five shots on goal during almost eight minutes.
