Takes Early Penalty in Flyers' Game 1 Victory Over Penguins

Rasmus Ristolainen made an early impact in the Philadelphia Flyers' 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, though not entirely positive. Ristolainen was sent to the penalty box in the first period after hitting Elmer Soderblom well after a whistle had stopped play. Despite the early mistake, the Flyers managed to overcome the Penguins in a tightly contested matchup. Ristolainen's physical presence remains a key factor for the Flyers' defense as they lead the series 1-0.
