The Flyers can’t seem to get out of their own way. Even though their record is RECORD, they continue to struggle defensively. They can’t seem to win many neutral zone battles or transition into the opposing team’s zone that well. This trend continued Saturday night in their 6-1 loss. The Flyers just continued to lose puck battles which is now making them lose games. This was the first truly disappointing loss of the season for Philly.
They did change up their lines a tad (see below), but they still failed to generate much offense for the majority of the game.
