Claude Giroux
The Flyers got the first goal of the game again and Giroux and van Riemsdyk finally got on the board as the Flyers picked up a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Monday’s game provides another chance to right the ship, and there will be two new faces in the lineup trying to provide a spark. 19-year-old Joel Farabee makes his NHL debut and Mikhail Vorobyev joins the lineup as well in a tough test for the Flyers against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Joel Farabee was called up by the Flyers on Sunday along with forward Mikhail Vorobyev, while forward Carsen Twarynski was sent down to the Phantoms. Farabee’s NHL debut will likely come on Monday night when the Flyers host the Vegas Golden Knights.
The 4-1 result to Dallas was something all too familiar from seasons’ past. The Flyers did a lot right in the game — control the puck, get a lot of shots, defended well and limited shots and chances — but came out on the losing end, and the score wasn’t really all that close.
The Dallas Stars entered Saturday’s game in Philadelphia having lost five straight games. They managed just 16 shots on goal in the back-end of a back-to-back after losing in Pittsburgh on Friday. The Flyers still came out on the losing end, 4-1, to drop their fourth straight game.
The Flyers complete their first of 17 back-to-backs this season, as they return to the ice following Tuesday’s 3-1 loss in Calgary to close out a three-game Western Canada road trip against the Edmonton Oilers.
Oskar Lindblom tied the game with 5:02 to play in the third, helping the Flyers force overtime and keep their points streak alive at three games. But Jacob Markstrom and the Canucks got the last laugh in a 3-2 shootout win.
Carter Hart made a sprawling save on Taylor Hall during the Flyers successful kill of the 5-on-3 to preserve a 1-0 lead. He stopped the rest of the 24 shots faced for his first career shutout in a 4-0 win over the Devils on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
It is finally here. The Flyers open the 2019-20 regular season from Prague, Czech Republic as they take on the Chicago Blackhawks. Game time is at 2 p.m.
With the start of another season, our Flyers staff takes a shot at some predictions for both the Flyers and the rest of the league.
