Flyers
Instead of losing a lead in frustrating fashion, the Flyers looked lifeless in the final 30 minutes, falling for the ninth straight game to the San Jose Sharks, 3-1, on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
The Philadelphia Flyers have been struggling greatly, as they have now blown leads in four of their last six games. Either way something has to change for the Orange and Black.
Back on home ice, the Flyers return, looking to put an end to their now eight-game losing streak against the San Jose Sharks. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
The Flyers entered the third period of Monday’s game in Pittsburgh in an all too familiar spot: up by two goals. The lead was gone just 2:18 into the period. That was only the beginning of the Flyers most disheartening loss of the losing streak, which is now at eight games after a 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
It’s been two and a half weeks since the Flyers last won a game, and for the Flyers to finally snap their losing streak on Monday, they will need to find a way to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
This week, Kevin Durso and Rob Riches are back after a bit of a break for the Podcast. This week, we look at the Flyers struggles of late, the question of the team’s identity and what the immediate future of this team is in the coming days and weeks.
Dave Hakstol tried to put a positive spin on the Flyers seventh straight loss. There’s a lot of losing going on for the Flyers. And until there’s a win, there won’t be any silver lining or positives to look at.
Friday’s game wasn’t the first where the Flyers seemed on their way to snapping their losing streak, but it was a welcome sight for a team that had come so close times before and needed to finish. Ultimately, they didn’t, with the Islanders scoring twice in the third and getting the overtime game-winner from Nick Leddy to hand the Flyers their seventh loss in a row.
The Flyers took a two-goal lead to the third period and let it slip away again, as the Islanders scored two goals in the third period and got a goal from Nick Leddy in overtime to claim a 5-4 win over the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Friday.
The Flyers losing streak hit six games with an overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Wednesday. The two teams face off again in the Flyers annual Black Friday home game. Game time is set for 4 p.m.
