With three days off between games, the Flyers have had time to let a nine-game losing streak sit and stir up a fan base that can’t make much sense of the direction of this team. The Flyers will look to start to right the ship by hosting the Boston Bruins. Game time is set for 1 p.m.
This season is slipping quickly on the Flyers, and it’s because of efforts like the one shown on Tuesday night against the San Jose Sharks, which sent the Flyers to their ninth straight loss. Here is tonight’s Postgame Review.
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.
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.
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.
If the Flyers current four-game skid entering Tuesday wasn’t bad enough, how about a lackadaisical and lifeless 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks to pile on? That’s what happened at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday, as the Flyers took an early lead that slipped away quickly and never recovered.
Things got ugly quick for the Philadelphia Flyers in a 4-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks leaving fans to wonder if the team can right the ship in time.
