The Flyers were probably due for a game and result like this, but a new standard has been set for how the Flyers should approach a game and play and the team didn’t live up to it in front of the home crowd on this night.
The Flyers were 8-11-7 after a 10th straight loss on Dec. 3. They have gone 26-8-3 since to not only move comfortably in the playoff race, but also challenge for the Metropolitan Division title.
The Flyers face the Montreal Canadiens, this time on the road, for the third and final time this season, with each of the first two matches coming earlier this month.
For a change, Flyers GM Ron Hextall can look at the market and see if there are any options that improve the team in the here and now at the trade deadline. Despite the rise in the standings and the flurry of activity from Eastern Conference counterparts, he needs to stay the course.
The Philadelphia Flyers are in search for an elusive fifth-straight win and their first victory over the Ottawa Senators this season in a Saturday afternoon tilt.
This about another tight hockey game where the Flyers managed to stay the course and overcome some adversity to claim two points again in a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Petr Mrazek was excellent in his Flyers debut, while Nolan Patrick, filling in for Wayne Simmonds on the power play, scored the game-winning goal on the man advantage in a 2-1 win for the Flyers over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.
Jake Voracek played hero twice, scoring the tying goal with 1:25 left in regulation and then the game-winning goal at 1:26 of overtime to give the Flyers their third straight win and seventh in the last eight games. Let’s jump right in with our Postgame Review.
After bad news about Brian Elliott, the Philadelphia Flyers blew a late third period lead to the New Jersey Devils in a 5-4 shootout loss.
The Flyers take on the Arizona Coyotes, the team bringing up the rear in the NHL standings, but the Flyers learned the hard way that a night off against this team will do no good. The Flyers lost to Arizona in their first meeting of the season in October in overtime, managing to get to the extra session only because of a frantic rally in the third. Arizona is also coming off a win in Minnesota where they erased a three-goal deficit.
