The Philadelphia and Anaheim matchup turned into a double revenge game, with former Duck Trevor Zegras outscoring former Flyer Cutter Gauthier 2-1, all in the first period.

Utah announced that centre Logan Cooley is going to miss eight weeks with the leg injury he suffered after crashing into the post against Vancouver last week.
