NHL Rumors: John Tortorella Doesn't Intend to Leave Flyers amid Late-Season Struggles

The Philadelphia Flyers may have lost their playoff spot, but they aren't going to lose head coach John Tortorella, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Tortorella "is not leaving the bench," according to Dreger.

"He still has the fire...no question about that," Dreger wrote.

The Flyers have lost eight consecutive games, most recently a 9-3 Tuesday blowout by the Montreal Canadiens that Tortorella described as the team's "rock bottom."

The skid has left them out of a spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Tortorella signed a four-year contract with the team in 2022, per ESPN.
