The Philadelphia Flyers have made national headlines in recent days, and not because of their stellar 8-2-0 record over their last 10 games. Against a spectacularly inept Chicago Blackhawks squad, the Flyers were unable to pick up a valuable pair of points as they fell to one of the NHL’s cellar dwellers by a score of 4-1.
Edmonton is averaging 3.5 goals per game at home over the past 10 and have scored 3+ goals in three straight meetings with Tampa. He now has 11 SOG in his last three games and has covered this 2.5 number in four of his last six on the road.
Peter Zezel, Ken Linseman, Dave Poulin, Sami Kapanen, all 250 enforcers in the team’s history; there is a long tradition of Flyer teams having players lower down in the lineup that can contribute in many different ways, whether it be with a scoring touch, defense and penalty kill work, or violence. The fourth line the Flyers have deployed most often this year has been a trio of Zack MacEwen, Patrick Brown, and Nic Deslauriers, and without even looking at the numbers, if you know those names you know what they’ll provide.
The Hawks have never won a regular-season game the Wells Fargo Center and Chicago’s last regular-season win in Philadelphia was on Nov. 9 1996.

They have won five games in a row, and they are 6-1-1 in January. This season, Gustafsson has been a mainstay for the Capitals and has provided some offensive pop with 26 points in 46 games.

The Bruins, on pace to set a National Hockey League record for points in a regular season, scored twice in the first period and from there went on to hand the Flyers a resounding 6-0 defeat at TD Garden, Philadelphia’s most lopsided setback of the season. David Pastrnak, who is on pace for a 60-goal season, opened the Bruins’ scoring with the first of two goals.
The first game of this two-game season series when the Flyers were in California ended as a 4-1 win that completed the sweep of the state and really kicked off the recent hot streak. We bet the Ducks are so mad about it.
Foligno provides hilarious NSFW hot mic moment in Bruins' win vs. Flyers originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston Boston Bruins forward Nick Foligno hasn't been afraid to mix it up all season, and we've seen plenty of evidence of that over the last couple games.
