SAN JOSE, Calif. — On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Flyers secured a convincing 4-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks, with Travis Konecny leading the charge by netting his team-high 17th goal of the season.

In addition to Konecny, the Flyers saw contributions from Nick Seeler, Ryan Poehling, and Egor Zamula, each finding the back of the net.

Samuel Ersson was pivotal in goal, making 15 saves, and earned the shutout before being replaced by Aleksei Kolosov at the start of the third period due to an injury. Kolosov stepped up with seven additional saves.

The Flyers built their momentum in the second period with two quick goals from Poehling and Konecny, establishing a comfortable 3-0 lead as they headed into the final frame.

The matchup also showcased two of the league’s standout rookies: Matvei Michkov from the Flyers, who leads all rookies with 29 points, and Macklin Celebrini from the Sharks, this year’s first overall draft pick, who trails Michkov by just two points. Celebrini attempted to make an impact with six shots on goal and even came close with a shot that hit the post, while Michkov recorded two shots in the game.

**Key Takeaways:**

**Flyers:** The victory marks the second in a seasonal six-game road trip for the Flyers, who are currently 2-2. Unlike their previous game, where they relinquished a multi-goal lead to lose 5-4 against the Kings, this time they successfully maintained their advantage.

**Sharks:** The Sharks find themselves on an unfortunate eight-game losing streak, just one loss away from equaling their nine-game opening stretch of the season. Celebrini expressed his frustration with the current circumstances, stating that he is less interested in the rivalry with Michkov and more focused on breaking the losing pattern.

**Key Moment:**

With a narrow 1-0 lead, the Flyers surged forward in the second period, scoring two rapid goals. Following Poehling’s strike at 12:09, Flyers’ captain Sean Couturier drew a tripping penalty that allowed Philadelphia to capitalize on a power play opportunity within eight seconds. Owen Tippett found Konecny for a precise one-timer, ending a 0-for-16 power play slump.

**Key Stat:**

The Flyers currently lead the NHL in blocked shots, and in this match, they recorded 20 blocks while limiting the Sharks to just 22 shots on goal.

**Looking Ahead:**

Both teams will be back in action on Thursday, with the Flyers set to face the Golden Knights and the Sharks preparing to host the Lightning.
