Ryan Poehling
The Flyers managed a late goal, but could not complete the comeback against the New York Islanders in a 2-1 loss on Wednesday night.
The free-agent period went as expected for the Flyers: mild activity and a few names brought in to round out the roster. Let’s take a closer look at the five free-agent signings.
The Flyers added veteran forward Garnet Hathaway on a two-year deal with a $2.375 million AAV on Saturday.
The Flyers did make one move in the first few hours of free agency. They signed forward Ryan Poehling to a one-year deal worth $1.4 million.
Behind a strong goaltending performance and two first-period goals, the Penguins were able to outlast the Flyers in a 4-2 decision.
The Penguins scored two goals in the first period and two more in the second and the rout was on from there, as the Flyers were handed their ninth straight loss in a 4-1 defeat at Wells Fargo Center.
Like the Flyers, the Montreal Canadiens come into Thursday’s game with losses in six straight games.
