A 2-2 week is in the books for the Flyers that featured a share of highs, lows and in-betweens. Once again, it's time for us to make our selection for Player and Play of the Week.
Our Player of the Week is Rob Zepp. Zepp appeared in all four games for the Flyers this week, starting in three, and was 2-1-0 with a 2.21 GAA and .908 save percentage.
Zepp also splits the Play of the Week honors.
First, his save on Eric Fehr late in the second period against the Washington Capitals certainly gave the Flyers a chance, even though they would lose the game, 1-0. Fehr gets a golden chance in close and Zepp robs him with the pad. Check out the highlight below:
Then on Saturday, in a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres, Zepp channels his inner Dominik Hasek, throwing away the stick to dive across the crease and keep the puck out of the net. The highlight is below:
The Flyers have just two games next week before taking a week off as part of the NHL's All-Star break. They remain on the road to face the New York Islanders on Monday afternoon before hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.
