In what was one of the most boring games of the season, the Flyers snoozed their way to a sloppy 4-1 loss in Seattle on Sunday night. Messy neutral zone play and little offensive creativity abound, the Flyers couldn’t solve Phillip Grubauer in their first game out of the holiday break.

The basics

First period: No scoring

Second period: 3:48 – Jordan Eberle (Kappo Kakko, Matty Beniers)

Third period: 5:49 – Chandler Stephenson (Eeli Tolvanen), 17:30 – Eeli Tolvanen (Stephenson) (EN), 18:03 – Carl Grundstrom (Rodrigo Abols, Nikita Grebenkin), 18:24 – Tolvanen (EN)

SOG: 32 (PHI) – 20 (SEA)

First period things

The opening 20 minutes had no score, and it was a pretty sluggish start for the Flyers coming out of the holiday break.
