In this week’s edition of Flyers Flash, we look at some themes from a disastrous week for the Philadelphia Flyers. We recap their 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders, a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, and a 6-2 blowout defeat by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Flyers Were Lifeless in 6-2 Loss to Blue Jackets
April 7, 2024 by Justin Giampietro
Now on a seven-game losing streak, the Philadelphia Flyers have hit rock bottom. Losing 6-2 to the worst team in terms of points in the Eastern Conference, the Columbus Blue Jackets, a once all-but guaranteed team to make the postseason, has now become one that may not be touching them at all. MoneyPuck’s playoff model has them at a 27 percent chance of making them when they had 90.9 percent odds on Mar. 21.
Flyers’ Adam Ginning Scores First NHL Goal
April 6, 2024 by Matthew Zator
The Philadelphia Flyers did not have a good game overall tonight, but two of their rookies did in Olle Lycksell and Adam Ginning. Both youngsters potted their first goals in the NHL with Lycksell opening the scoring for the Flyers at 14:32 of the second period and Ginning doing it later on at 15:08 of the third. It wasn’t a pretty goal by any means, as it was just a shot that had eyes from the top of the left face-off circle. But they don’t ask how it got into the net, just that it did.

In an otherwise doom and gloom contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Olle Lycksell brought a positive to the table for the Philadelphia Flyers with his first NHL goal. A veteran of 25 games, it took him a little while to get on the board but is nonetheless a part of the NHL goal club.
