Morgan Frost, who was a healthy scratch last game, opened up the scoring for the Flyers. Frost’s 6th goal of the season was created by his forecheck and his presence in-front of the net.
“I want to be in the lineup obviously,” Frost said postgame. “I think I should be in the lineup and that’s it’s kind of a wake up call whenever you get pulled out like that.”
Frost’s big return to the lineup continued on the Flyers second goal. Frost’s shot created the rebound that Sean Couturier banked home off the back of Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom. His second point of the game.
