Kevin Hayes struck for a pair of goals in the third period against his former team, including the game-winner as the Flyers went into the holiday break with their fourth straight win, defeating the Rangers, 5-1, on Monday night at Wells Fargo Center.
After missing out on several chances to end the game in overtime, the Flyers came away victorious in the shootout, taking a 5-4 decision in Ottawa on Saturday night.
The Flyers took full advantage of a team without their top player and captain. In the first period, they scored three goals in a span of 4:01. In the second period, they added three more in a span of 4:07. That was more than enough in a 6-1 win on Thursday night that continued the team’s incredible run of success on home ice.
Flyers forward Joel Farabee has been suspended for three games for a late hit on Winnipeg’s Mathieu Perreault in Sunday’s loss to the Jets.
With four goals in 4:17, a 2-1 deficit turned into a 6-1 shellacking and the Flyers ended a three-game road trip with a 7-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.
Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher announced seven additional roster cuts on Tuesday that bring the roster to 27 with just two games remaining in the preseason and two days left until the team heads to Europe.
Nicolas Aube-Kubel has re-signed with the Flyers on a one-year, two-way deal worth $700,000, GM Chuck Fletcher announced on Tuesday.
The Flyers announced on Tuesday that they have extended qualifying offers to four players — defenseman Ivan Provorov and forwards Travis Konecny, Scott Laughton and Nicolas Aube-Kubel.
That frustration appears to have made its way up to the broadcast booth, or at the very least, has been picked up by the (active) microphones in it. After taking the ice against the Blues on Monday — ultimately a 3-0 loss — NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Jackson and Keith Jones were overheard with some sharp criticisms of the team they’re tasked with watching.
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.
