Trevor Zegras ignites Flyers fans with 1st career playoff goal

The Philadelphia Flyers are taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are always an intense affair. However, this series in particular has become quite nasty. The emotion behind the intensity may have been a major driving force behind the reaction to Trevor Zegras’s first career playoff goal on Wednesday night.

The Flyers and Penguins had engaged in a massive line brawl prior to his goal. On the ensuing power play, Zegras ripped a shot past Penguins goaltender Stuart Skinner. This goal tied the game at the time, and it sent Xfinity Mobile Arena into an absolute frenzy.

TREVOR ZEGRAS!

His first career goal in the #StanleyCup Playoffs ties this game 1-1!

Zegras joined the Flyers through a trade last summer with the Anaheim Ducks. The former first-round pick had shown promise with the Ducks, but injuries had hindered his development in Anaheim. As a result, he was given a fresh start in Philadelphia.

This is a developing story. Updates to come.
