Flyers
This up-tempo brand of hockey lasted all of 20 minutes, though, and the Flyers fell back to their old habits en route to a 3-1 loss on Thursday.
Their offense is about as barren as it gets — having scored just six goals over their last five games — yet somehow occupy the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spot by a single point.
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms played their first home game since the All-Star break on Wednesday night, defeating the Binghamton Senators by a final of 5-0. Five different Phantoms scored goals and helped the team bounce back from their 7-1 loss to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins last Saturday.

The dominance that was the “Legion of Doom” in the late 1990’s for the Flyers was some of the most exciting Flyers hockey in recent memory. On this day, this fabled line was at it again in this tilt against the Montreal Canadiens. Together, they would set a team record with 16 points among them, in a 9-5 drubbing of the Habs.
The Kings came into the game on a four-game winning streak and the Flyers had won four of their last five, so with both teams riding waves of success of late, something had to give eventually in a physical game where space was limited and chances were few and far between. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Kings.
Just 2:35 into the overtime period, though, their luck ran out. Jeff Carter nailed the game-winning goal on a one-timer from Anze Kopitar along the goal line.
