NEWARK—Brenden Dillon didn’t forget what the Philadelphia Flyers did to the New Jersey Devils earlier this week. He eventually set the tone physically the Devils needed to propel them in the second period,

John Tortorella didn’t have much of an update on Owen Tippett aside from the news that the Flyers’ winger wouldn’t be available Thursday night.

Owen Tippett is going to remember the name Brenden Dillon. The Philadelphia Flyers forward was ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils after being on the receiving end of a huge open-ice hit by Dillon.

The Devils are one of the best teams in the NHL in the second period. It showed Wednesday night as Sam Ersson and the Flyers allowed four goals in the period.

A hard hit on Flyers wing Owen Tippett by Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon in the first period might have gotten the Flyers off their game somewhat. No penalty was called on the play, which resulted in the Flyers trying to exact revenge throughout the first half of the game action.

Dillon notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

The Philadelphia Flyers fell back to .500 (23-23-6) after being shut out by the New Jersey Devils 5-0 Wednesday night in Newark. After a tense but no-score first period, the Devils had a four-goal second period and another goal in the third period.

Boston led, 1-0, after the first period, but couldn’t overcome a miserable second in which the Devils scored four times.

"We are pissed off," Dillon said. "We are frustrated. We are mad we are not winning. We also understand that we are still in a playoff spot. Ultimately, we have to get through this patch, and we will be okay coming out of it."
