With the end of the regular season approaching, the Flyers, who are sitting in third place in the Metropolitan Division, took their second straight loss to a team mired in the bottom of the NHL.
The end of the regular season is rapidly approaching and, entering Saturday, the Flyers had just eight games left with the teams chasing them having games in hand. So you’d think facing several teams mired in the bottom of the NHL those games would be easy pickings for a Flyers team sitting in third place in the Metropolitan Division.After a 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday, the Flyers lost to the 31st-ranked team in the NHL, the Chicago Blackhawks, 5-1, on Saturday.
The Flyers needed a quick start and didn’t get one. Just 2 minutes into the game, Jarred Tinordi put the puck on net, andmade the easy blocker save. The only issue is he sent it right to Lukas Reichel, and the 21-year-old winger carried it around behind the net before knocking in his own rebound between the post and Ersson’s left skate.
Like the game against the Canadiens on Thursday, the Flyers once again found themselves in a 2-0 hole before the first period ended. Off the rush, rookie phenom Connor Bedard hit Philipp Kurashev with a pass from the top of the right face-off circle to the top of the left circle for the wrister.dropped the gloves with Ryan Donato late in the first period, the Flyers own rookie phenom, Tyson Foerster, scored 17 seconds into the second.
But the feel-good vibes were short-lived. Nick Foligno scored a power-play goal late in the second period as he crept down the slot to make it 3-1 late in the middle frame. In the third period, Egor Zamula’s pass attempt in the neutral zone toon the far side was blocked by Joey Anderson; he broke in all alone on Ersson and scored low glove side. MacKenzie Entwistle put the game out of reach when the Blackhawks broke out 3-on-2.
