Bengals coach Zac Taylor expressed frustration over the game being paused to honor Myles Garrett's NFL single-season sack record, feeling it disrupted their critical final minutes in a game with no postseason implications.
During the first period of the Flyers-Lightning game, a transformer malfunction caused a power outage at Wells Fargo Center, leading to the in-arena lighting, video board, and sound system shutting off. After a discussion with coaches and goalies, play resumed with only the ambient crowd noise. The Flyers went on to win 6-2, despite the unusual conditions, and the power was gradually restored during the game. The incident created a unique and challenging atmosphere for the players, but they ultimately adapted and overcame the unexpected interruption.
