Flyers forward Nolan Patrick and Kings forward Nate Thompson vie for the puck during the first period.
LOS ANGELES — Five observations from the Flyers' hard-working 5-2 win Thursday over the Kings, a victory that was a lot more difficult than the final score hints:
Center Nolan Patrick and left winger Oskar Lindblom are blossoming before our eyes.
Patrick had two assists Thursday and has four points over his last two games. Lindblom had a goal and an assist for his first career multi-point game. He set up the winning goal in a 3-2 victory in Anaheim on Tuesday, and he scored the game-winner in Los Angeles.
