""Yeah, I knew some of their guys, like Dvorak and Couturier, they're really good in the dot," Laughton said. "So, you watch a little bit of video, you ask certain guys. I always ask John, Auston, and Roysy [Nic Roy] what they do against guys like that. I think we feed well off each other and try to use each other in those situations.""
""It was definitely an emotional start to the game," Laughton said. "Probably took me a period to get going. A lot of emotions run through you, I don't know if I was expecting them. Standing on the blueline, getting the start was a nice touch. Then it all floods back to you, most of the memories here, all the people that helped you. It was an emotional start, and then once the game gets going, it's game on.""
Scott Laughton returned to Philadelphia for the first time since being traded and produced one of his best performances. He scored a late shorthanded goal in the third period to tie the game and force overtime, and he played over three minutes on the penalty kill as the unit went a perfect three-for-three. He dominated the faceoff circle, winning 19 of 20 draws after studying opponents and seeking teammate advice. The start of the game was emotional, marked by a video tribute and standing ovation that brought back many memories. He also joked about Travis Konecny being 'a big rat.'
