Philadelphia Flyers
In one month, the trade deadline will arrive and be the last chance the Flyers have at major in-season changes. There could be plenty to come in the next month.
Back from a break, the guys discuss the Flyers recent stretch, Carter Hart’s early success, how Scott Gordon has fared as head coach and some of the recent roster moves by the Flyers.
For all of the reasons that the Flyers have struggled this season, one area that has really been a primary reason for their lack of success has been an ongoing slump for the power play.
Make no mistake about it, Carter Hart has all the makings of an NHL goalie at 20 years old, and the numbers are backing it up.
Carter Hart and Nolan Patrick teamed up to help the Flyers to a third straight win, beating the Montreal Canadiens, 5-2, on Saturday night.
The Flyers have won three of their last four games since snapping an eight-game losing streak last Thursday. They face the Montreal Canadiens, a team locked in a battle for one of the top three spots in the Atlantic Division.
Flyers forward Dale Weise was not on the ice for practice on Friday and has apparently been told to stay home as the Flyers try to work out a trade for the veteran forward.
The Flyers released an injury update on four players during Friday’s practice, while Dale Weise was absent from practice and Anthony Stolarz begins a conditioning assignment.
The Flyers have traded forward Taylor Leier to the Buffalo Sabres for forward Justin Bailey, GM Chuck Fletcher announced on Thursday night.
The Flyers got three goals from Sean Couturier and another excellent night in goal from Carter Hart on their way to back-to-back wins for just the fourth time this season, defeating the Bruins, 4-3.
