Flyers
When you have a history as rich as the Flyers over 50 years, you recognize the legends of that history. The Flyers have done so for 25 players with enshrinement in the Flyers Hall of Fame, starting with the inaugural class in 1988.
Travis Konecny’s first NHL goal sparked a roaring comeback for the Flyers, who used three power-play goals in the third to rally back against the Sabres before taking the win in a shootout.
Three goals in the third period helped the Flyers even the score and earn one point. They managed to get the second one as well with a shootout win over the Sabres, 4-3, on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
Brendan Gallagher’s deflection gave Montreal the lead with 6:52 to play and that was enough for Carey Price and the Canadiens, who defeated the Flyers, 3-1, on Monday night.
A grueling week of hockey begins for the Flyers, as they begin a stretch of five games in seven days. The first is Monday night, as they take on the Montreal Canadiens.
This edition of Flyers at 50 looks back to one of the memorable tilts of the late 70s between the Flyers and Montreal Canadiens.
Saturday’s game was a much-needed bounce-back game from a host of players as the Flyers handled their first Eastern Conference opponent and picked up their first home win of the season.
The Flyers got two timely goals to even things up, and struck two more times in the second. They would add two goals in the third as well to come away with a 6-3 win over the Hurricanes on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center.
On Saturday, the Flyers get their first look at the East, facing the Carolina Hurricanes, who are off to a similar start at 1-1-2 on the season.
