Fresh off another loss that hurt their playoff chances, the Flyers return to the ice in a virtual must-win game against the Edmonton Oilers. The opening face-off is set for 9 p.m.
The Flyers sat Shayne Gostisbehere for three games after a 5-1 drubbing to the Hurricanes in their first game back from the All-Star break. For eight days, Gostisbehere got extra time to work on things in practice and observe games and his mature approach to the situation has things back on track so to speak.
Through two periods, it was too much of the same for the Flyers. The solid defensive play was certainly still present for the Flyers, but the goals still weren’t coming. Finally, one to break the ice in the third put the Flyers on the board, but it would still take overtime for the Flyers to snap a three-game losing streak and earn a crucial two points. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Sharks.
Wayne Simmonds scored on a breakaway at 1:04 of overtime, giving the Flyers a 2-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.
It is now mid-February and the Flyers have been struggling to find not only wins, but goals, and an identity of success for the team along with the struggles.
The Islanders were a motivated team and proved it on Thursday night, handing the Flyers a 3-1 loss to knock them out of a playoff spot at the moment. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Islanders.
Shayne Gostisbehere’s scratching, and Travis Konecny’s two-game benching prior to Monday’s game, left Flyers fans baffled. Dave Hakstol’s response in regards to the lineup is that he is dressing the best 20 players to win hockey games. But is he really? That’s certainly the question on Flyers fans’ minds.
After just one game back in the lineup from his two-game benching, Travis Konecny will miss even more time with a lower-body injury. Konecny is out for four-to-six weeks, as Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced on Tuesday.
