It's time once again to name Flyerdelphia's Player of the Week and Play of the Week.
Our Player of the Week is Michael Raffl. Raffl scored in both the Flyers win over the Kings on Tuesday and added a second goal on Thursday in Tampa Bay. Despite two losses in the last two games, Raffl registered four shots on Thursday and five shots on Saturday against the Panthers. Before being held off the board on Saturday, Raffl had a streak of goals in three straight games, scoring four goals in that time.
Our Play of the Week goes to Ray Emery. His clutch save against the Kings was just one of the many Emery made to help the Flyers force overtime before Brayden Schenn's game-winning goal.
On this save, Emery loses his stick and is forced to throw his arms up while sitting down in the crease. From his rear end, Emery swats the puck to the corner. Video of the save is below.
Check back next week for our next Player and Play of the Week following three more Flyers games against the Oilers, Panthers and Avalanche – all at home – next week.
