Despite the Flyers losing by a 3-2 final score in Game 5, this prospect stepped up for them.
The Philadelphia Flyers lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins by a 3-2 final score in Game 5. With this, the Flyers' lead in the series has been cut to 3-2.
While the Flyers lost Game 5, prospect Alex Bump certainly took advantage of being put back into the lineup for Philadelphia. In what was his first career playoff game, Bump scored a goal at the 3:29 mark of the second period. This was 12 seconds after Connor Dewar scored to give Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead.
Although the Flyers were unable to pick up a win in Game 5, it was certainly encouraging to see an exciting prospect like Bump score a goal. With this, it would not be surprising if he gets another chance in the Flyers' lineup for Game 6.
In 17 regular-season games this season with the Flyers, Bump had five goals, four assists, nine points, and a plus-3 rating. With this, he showed promise during this regular season with Philadelphia and is now already continuing to do so during the playoffs.
