from Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun,
“You don’t want to go down 0-3,” Flyers forward Brayden Schenn said. “That’s no secret. If we win one, we are right back in it.
“It’s not going to help us at all to get frustrated and worry about having only one goal against them in two games.”
Braden Holtby has been nearly perfect in the Capitals net, stopping 60 of 61 shots on goal. Steve Mason has not been close to that for the Flyers and has allowed six goals on 54 shots through two games, including a 101-footer to Jason Chimera in Game 2.
There was no hesitation for Flyers coach Dave Hakstol and his staff in sticking with Mason.
“Easy decision,” Hakstol said. “Absolutely. He is a huge part of why we are playing in the playoffs.”
