Five observations from Flyers' sloppy loss to Ducks
Anaheim’s Ondrej Kase scores against Brian Elliott on a penalty shot Tuesday.Some takeways from the Flyers’ setback against visiting Anaheim on Tuesday:
Odd goalie rotation
Paging Michal Neuvirth. Paging Michal Neuvirth.
Neuvirth has the league’s lowest goals-against average (1.36) and highest save percentage (.957). Yet, for some odd reason, he has played in just three of the Flyers’ nine games. Brian Elliott, making his sixth start, struggled mightily Tuesday, and his GAA climbed to 3.33 and his save percentage dropped to .876.
“We could have been a lot better. Starting with me in the net, that’s where it all starts,” Elliott said.
Look for Neuvirth to get the call Thursday in Ottawa.
