Thanks to a nice Tim Thomas check in the crease, the Flyers have put the first goal on the board in this year’s Winter Classic.
Danny Syvret scored the goal at 4:42 in the second period. Thomas had landed a solid check to a Flyers’ forward as Syvret let go of the wrister, leaving Thomas out of position as he lunged forward for the two-handed hit.
Jeff Carter and Scott Hartnell earned the assists.
