"The storyline of the game, for those who missed it, ended up being Easton Cowan's first NHL goal. He took a pass from John Tavares and put a pretty shot far side over the shoulder of Flyers goaltender Daniel Vladar to extend the team's lead to 4-1 in the first minute of the third period. Other goals in the game came from Auston Matthews, who opened the scoring, Jake McCabe, Nick Robertson, and Calle Jarnkrok on the empty net."
"Veteran defenceman Chris Tanev was involved in what appeared to be a pretty innocent looking collision with Flyers forward Matvei Michkov, but absorbed some hard contact on the back of his helmet and had to be removed from the game on a stretcher. Tanev had just returned from a similar injury involving his head, after he took New Jersey Devils forward Dawson Mercer's shoulder to the jaw when the Leafs faced the Devils a couple of weeks ago."
Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 5-2, earning two points to start November. Easton Cowan scored his first NHL goal after receiving a pass from John Tavares and beating goaltender Daniel Vladar far side to make it 4-1 early in the third period. Auston Matthews opened the scoring, and Jake McCabe, Nick Robertson and Calle Jarnkrok added goals, the latter on an empty net. Veteran defenceman Chris Tanev sustained a head impact in a collision with Matvei Michkov and was removed from the game on a stretcher. Tanev had recently returned from a similar head injury two weeks earlier. The team will host the Pittsburgh Penguins next.
