SOG: 40 (PHI) – 27 (BOS) The line combinations earlier Saturday had some folks a bit giddy as Matvei Michkov was on the top line alongside Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny. The idea of two offensively-oriented wingers bookending the defensively-minded Couturier had some drooling at the possibilities. However the line didn’t quite find that instant synergy early on (an expected goals for percentage of just 21.45 after twenty minutes), with two shifts seeing them defend rather than attack. That chemistry started to form a little more as the game went on, with Konecny having two great chances, the first on a sweet feed from Michkov who was playing on his off wing.
