Buffalo entered the game with a 12-0-3 record when scoring first, but the Flyers handed the Sabres their first regulation loss in that category, scoring six unanswered goals, including four in the third period, to get a 6-2 victory to open a five-game road trip.

The Flyers finally made a move on Monday after another slow start to the season and two embarrassing losses in the same week. It was certainly shocking when it was GM Ron Hextall on the way out. A move was necessary, but was this the right one for the Flyers?

Allowing three power-play goals, six goals to even the most potent offense in the Tampa Bay Lightning and making enough fundamental mistakes to create a deficit in the first place don’t look good. But the rally showed some character. It may not be a win but the Flyers need to channel this effort late in the game into better results from here.

The Flyers rallied with four unanswered goals in 6:04 to erase a 5-1 deficit, but fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning in overtime, 6-5, on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.

It’s a game where the scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story. The Flyers 3-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night was much closer than the final score. That said, it was also a game that could be summed up in three words: That’s. So. Flyers.

It was that kind of night for the Flyers, who hit the post five times and had a goal disallowed in a 3-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.

With James van Riemsdyk expected to return to the lineup Thursday night against the New Jersey Devils, the team looks forward to his scoring abilities and what he can bring to a struggling power play.

For the Flyers, it’s a game that should serve as a lesson. They did not play well in the second period, certainly not well enough to put any pressure on the opposing goalie through 40 minutes. The 20-minute push in the third was great, but it was too little, too late on this night.

On nights like these, you see that the Flyers have a work issue. It’s selective, turned on and off like a switch. It’s a big reason the team is as inconsistent as it gets. That’s a team-wide problem from coaching to players that will get them in trouble in the standings fast.

After an embarrassing 8-2 loss in their home opener on Tuesday, the team’s flaws proved to be their downfall once again.

Embarrassing isn’t a good enough word for what the Flyers showed on the ice on Tuesday in an 8-2 mauling from the San Jose Sharks. We break it down further in our Postgame Review of Flyers-Sharks.

Join Kevin Durso and Rob Riches as they break down the first week of the Flyers 2018-19 season.

The Flyers were locked in a close game with the Avalanche until the bitter end, falling in their second game of the season by a score of 5-2 in Denver on Saturday night.

Two goals in the final nine minutes of the first and three in the early stages of the second set the Flyers on their way to a season-opening victory by a score of 5-2 over the Golden Knights on Thursday night.

Some old familiar flaws showed up in the Flyers 4-2 loss to the Rangers, which is certainly concerning in the penultimate preseason tilt. More from the Flyers loss to the Rangers in our Postgame Review.

A pair of quick goals got the Flyers right back into it midway through the period, but just like Monday, the Flyers couldn’t completely recover and fell short, dropping the final preseason game at home to the Rangers, 4-2, on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.
