PHILADELPHIA—Sam Ersson made 22 saves for his second shutout of the season and the Philadelphia Flyers beat Anaheim 6–0 on Saturday night in Cutter Gauthier’s first visit to Philadelphia since being traded to the Ducks a year ago.

Drafted fifth overall by Philadelphia in 2022, Gauthier told the Flyers he didn’t want to play for the team, which brought out an energized, sellout crowd that booed or chanted every time he stepped on the ice.
