TREVOR ZEGRAS

Zegras Creates, Flyers Fall in Overtime

Center sets up a play and logs team-leading forward minutes among his peers in a 3-2 OT loss

Trevor Zegras assisted on Philadelphia's only even-strength helper and finished with one point in a 3-2 overtime loss to Carolina. He skated 22:53, which ranked third among team skaters and first among Flyers forwards, and he took 22 shifts. At even strength he had the lone assist (one point) and one shot attempt; he had four shot attempts on the power play with no power-play points. Zegras was plus-one, with one giveaway and no takeaways, hits or blocked shots. Season numbers in the box score show this outing slightly above his 18.8 minutes per game average — playing 22:53 — and adding to his totals to sit at one assist and one point through three games. It was a game with a clear playmaking footprint but modest finishing output as Philadelphia dropped the extra point in overtime.
