Matt Read potted the only goal in the Philadelphia Flyers' 4-1 Game 2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. Read's marker was his third of the postseason, and it came at 2:53 of the first period. After that, the Flyers' offense went cold, getting thoroughly outplayed by the Ilya Kovalchuk-less Devils. Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds had the assists. Simmonds also had 12 penalty minutes and Maxime Talbot had 10.

Matt Read got into the Flyers' rookie scoring act with two goals, including the game winner, in Game 3's 8-4 win over Pittsburgh. He has three points in three games in the team's opening round series in his first taste of NHL postseason action.

The first-year stars have come to play for the Flyers, which bodes very well for the team's future.

Matt Read has collected a mere 12 penalty minutes in 76 games during his rookie season. "Personally, I hate to watch the game," he said. "When you take a penalty, that's two minutes you're not able to get on the ice. I try to limit taking penalties as much as I can. And you want the help the team out, it's hard playing a lot of penalty-kill games. I try to limit as many opportunities as I can, by not getting lazy and putting my stick up in the waist or slashing, little things like that." Read has displayed a solid two-way game this campaign with the Flyers that has seen him score 23 goals and 23 assists, while figuring prominently in the team's penalty kill group and posting a plus-11 rating. He could be a future Lady Byng Trophy candidate if his career continues down that path.
