“Flyers Soar to Victory Over Rangers in a Thrilling MSG Showdown, Fueling Hopes for a New Era Under Coach Shaw!”
Shaw wanted the Flyers to make the first period “as least chaotic as possible” for Kolosov.
“I’m hoping our guys can play smart in the first five, 10 minutes,” Shaw said pregame. “Minimize the shots and the quality of them so that he can sort of work his way into the game.”
The Flyers did not help Kolosov ease back into things. He had to face a penalty shot just 1:15 minutes into the action and then faced a shorthanded breakaway from Vincent Trocheck. The Rangers’ center buried his opportunity to hand the Flyers a 1-0 deficit at first intermission. Kolosov faced 12 shots in the opening stanza.
