Morgan Frost played a crucial role in the shootout, securing a 3-2 win for the Philadelphia Flyers against the Vancouver Canucks in their season opener.

Contributions also came from Tyson Forester and Cam York, while Samuel Ersson made 24 saves for the Flyers.

Teddy Blueger and Nils Hoglander scored for the Canucks, and Kevin Lankinen made 30 saves in his debut with Vancouver.

Despite leading into the third period, the Canucks lost in overtime for the second game in a row.

Travis Konecny and Jake DeBrusk added goals in the shootout, and Philadelphia successfully defended against five Vancouver power plays.

On the Canucks side, defenseman Tyler Myers left the game early due to an injury after a collision with Joel Farabee.

For the Flyers, top prospect Matvei Michkov made a strong impression in his NHL debut, attempting an elaborate between-the-legs shot.

A critical moment occurred when Cam York leveled the game at 2-2 with a shot that seemed to have crossed the line at first glance.

Looking ahead, the Flyers will play against Calgary on Saturday, while the Canucks begin a road trip with a game in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
