A hard hit on Flyers wing Owen Tippett by Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon in the first period might have gotten the Flyers off their game somewhat. No penalty was called on the play, which resulted in the Flyers trying to exact revenge throughout the first half of the game action.

The Philadelphia Flyers wrapped up a home-and-home set against the New Jersey Devils with a split. After a 4-2 home win on Monday, the Fyers sustained a 5-0 loss at Prudential Center on Wednesday evening.

Ondrej Palat, Luke Hughes, Nathan Bastian and Dawson Mercer scored for New Jersey in a 13-minute span as the Devils won for the third time in four games. Jack Hughes scored early in the third, his 20th goal of the season.
