News broke just before last night’s game against the Devils that Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn would miss the game and likely several more after it, due to a foot injury he suffered on Wednesday night’s opener against Boston.

It’s rare that a team clearly loses a face off and then scores a goal within three seconds of losing that face off, but that’s exactly what happened here for the Flyers on their first goal of Saturday night. Manny Malhotra won the face off back, where Nathan Beaulieu went to retrieve it. He did…
