As the Flyers approach today’s game, they’re in a position that they really haven’t found themselves in much in the early-going of this season so far. The Flyers are coming off of two straight games in which they, by and large, played reasonably well. Some bad stretches here and there, definitely some things to nitpick, but a pair of decent performances against one of the best teams in hockey despite being without their best player.
And yet, the Flyers managed to blow late leads in both of those games and come away with just one point.
