The Philadelphia Flyers lost to the Boston Bruins on Thursday night, 4-1, in a game that looked a lot more like what we expected from this team before the season began.
The Flyers have now lost five straight (4 in regulation, 1 on overtime), and have come up without a victory in seven of nine game to start November, after a 5-2-1 start in October.
Carter Hart has just been ok, rather than other-worldly, and that has been the biggest difference, but the offense has also dried up.
After averaging 3 goals/game in the season’s first month, they’re down a full goal this month, averaging only two tallies per game, and scoring more than two only twice in the last nine games.
