How Flyers could easily go on another 10-game losing streak

It was just one week ago, the Flyers were tied with Toronto heading into overtime. They had won three of their previous four games, and tried to take the second point in the extra session from the Maple Leafs.

It didn’t seem like a huge deal. Philadelphia gained a point. Onto the Lightning. Well, we...

They were playing them again on Monday night for an oddly slated two-game miniseries with both games at Xfinity Mobile Arena. But after giving up the first goal to a wide-open Nikita Kucherov less than two minutes in, Philadelphia’s Garnet Hathaway’s first of the year tied things up. After that, Ersson should’ve settled down. Sho...
