This past week, the Flyers have somehow played three games while also having a four-day holiday break. In that stretch, the Flyers went 2-1-0 against three of the worst teams in the Western Conference, with wins over Vancouver and Chicago and a regulation loss against Seattle.
The week started off on the right foot with a pretty dominant 5-2 win over the Canucks, where the new look fourth line of Nikita Grebenkin, Rodrigo Abols, and Carl Grundstrom combined for two goals. The next night, Sam Ersson put in one of his strongest performances of the season in a 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
