Ahead of the match against the Flyers, coach Craig Berube outlined the emotional weight Scott Laughton will face as he plays against his former team. Laughton's past with Philadelphia adds a personal angle to the game. Berube emphasized the team's frustration after a recent loss to Nashville, highlighting lessons learned and the importance of staying focused. He also praised the Flyers’ persistent style under coach John Tortorella, warning of their effort and competitiveness regardless of their standings. Berube reflected on Laughton’s growth since his early days in the league, noting his early offensive capabilities.
"A lot for him, for sure. He was there for a long time, and there is going to be emotion for him individually when playing against his old team and everything that goes into it."
"They are upset about it, for sure. Coming out of the first period, we were up 2-0 and in good shape. It is a learning experience, in my opinion."
"Their effort, competitiveness, and pressure. They come. They're coming with five guys all over the ice. You have to fight for your ice against them."
"I had him so young. Coming in, we weren't sure what he was going to be. In junior, he put a lot of points up and was an offensive."
