Leo Carlsson reminded the Flyers exactly what they passed on. The Ducks winger scored and set up the game-winner in Anaheim's 5-4 victory, a performance that stung Philadelphia hard.
Carlsson was offered to the Flyers before the Ducks drafted him second overall in 2023. They passed. Now he's producing in ways that make that decision look worse by the week. His two-point night, capped by his assist on the decisive goal, showed a player with the skill and hockey sense Philly thought it could live without.
For the Ducks, the win keeps them competitive in a tight Western Conference race. For the Flyers, it's another game that got away, and another reminder that sometimes the prospects you don't take haunt you longer than the ones you do. Carlsson is already doing that.
