Philadelphia Flyers
Both Joel Farabee and Kevin Hayes each scored two goals and Alex Lyon finished with 28 saves as the Flyers defeated the Avalanche, 6-3, on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center.
It will be a quick turnaround for the Flyers, as it is going to be for most of the final 31 games in the regular season, and the Orange and Black get yet another challenge against a Top-10 team in the league. The Colorado Avalanche await as the Flyers make their return home.
Sidney Crosby fired home the game-winning goal just 55 seconds into overtime to hand the Flyers a 4-3 loss in Pittsburgh on Friday night.
The Flyers secured a 3-0 win 10 days ago against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and now will open up the second-half push to the playoffs by meeting the Penguins again, this time on the road.
With the recent struggles and inconsistencies over the last 10 games, the Philadelphia Flyers are looking for some resurgence in multiple areas of their game.
Today, 28 players on the Flyers Youth Special Hockey team get to suit up regularly for an opportunity they would not have without this program. The team played on Saturday morning in Voorhees against the Woodbridge Warriors Special Hockey organization with Flyers great Bob Kelly behind the bench and Lou Nolan in his familiar role as PA announcer.
The Flyers entered the break with a 3-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins and the guys will break down the victory in the lone game of the week. They also take a look at the All-Star Game festivities from this weekend. Join co-hosts Kyle Collington and Mike Giletto Sr. for another week of Flyers talk.
Travis Konecny had three assists in the Metropolitan Division’s 9-5 loss to the Atlantic Division. The Pacific Division claimed victory in the 3-on-3 tournament with a 5-4 win over the Atlantic in the final at the 2020 NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis.
For years, a key member of the core of the team would represent the Flyers at the All-Star Game — usually Claude Giroux and occasionally Jake Voracek or Wayne Simmonds. At 22, Konecny enters the national spotlight with his first All-Star appearance, perhaps only scratching the surface of his potential.
At the end of a seven-game stretch that featured five of the top six teams in the league as of Wednesday morning’s standings, the Flyers came away with a 5-2-0 record. Against those five teams, they were 4-1-0 with the only loss being a 1-0 defeat to Tampa Bay. So forgive Alain Vigneault if he was in the mood to celebrate this win and going on a break the way it started.
