Five observations from Flyers’ impressive road trip: Balanced lines, gritty play from Folin, Pickard saves the day

The Flyers’ Claude Giroux (28) Wayne Simmonds (17) and Nolan Patrick (19) celebrate Giroux’s third-period goal Monday against the Arizona Coyotes. Giroux had two goals and an assist in the 5-2 Flyers win.

Late in Monday's game, with Shayne Gostisbehere and Nic Aube-Kubel in scrums, defenseman Christian Folin came charging down the ice to help his teammates. Good for him. The Flyers need their players to show that mentality.

That sequence, and another wild scrum a short time later with Radko Gudas in the middle of things can have a galvanizing effect on a team.
