Impact Cates found Sean Couturier for an empty-net goal to close out the high-scoring contest. This was Cates' fourth appearance in the Flyers' eight games so far, as he's often been a healthy scratch early on. He's played in three straight, so he may be gaining favor with head coach John Tortorella. Cates has added nine hits and one shot on goal, and he's likely to be limited to a bottom-six role. The 25-year-old put up 18 points in 59 regular-season contests last year, though he had 38 points in 82 games the year before.
