Flyers Set Off on Trip to California

Nov 7, 2023

After a hot start to the season the Flyers to a less than 500 record.

In their last three matchups the Flyers have been outscored 11-7, winning one of these three games. On Wednesday night the Flyers hosted the Buffalo Sabres in the first half of a home and home series. Joel Farabee scored on the first shot less than a minute into the game. The Sabres then responded soring on their first shot by Casey Mittelstadt. A scramble in front of the net a few minutes later appeared to have injured Carter Hart, but he stayed in the game after talking to a trainer. After given up his second goal of the game halfway through the period Hart left the game with a mid-body injury and was replaced by Sam Errson. Hart has been out of the lineup since, their is hope that he will be ready to go for either the first or second game of their upcoming four game road trip. Atkinson scored late in the first to tie the game. But in the third period the Sabres blew the game open with three goals in a row to win the contest.

On Friday night the Flyers were in Buffalo to play the Sabres, this time winning by a scored of 5-1. Sam Errson recorded the win for Philadelphia. Scott Laughton and Louie Belpedio both scored their first goal of the second, Belpedio his first of his career. Konecny, Hathaway, and Brink all scored for the Flyers. Sean Couturier sat out his first of two games. Like Hart Couturier is listed as day-to-day with the hope that they will be back shortley.

The Flyers had a quick turn around as they played again on Saturday night in Philadelphia against the LA Kings. The Flyers were shutout for the first time this season as former Flyer Cam Talbot stopped all 24 shots he faced. Cal Peterson played the full sixty minutes for the Flyers as he was called up from Lehigh Valley to play with Sam Errson while Hart is out.

The Flyers are now on to a four game road trip which starts with three in California. Kicking off with the winless Sharks in San Jose Tuesday night. Followed by a Friday and Saturday night show down in SoCal against the Ducks and Kings. The Flyers return to the east coast to play the Hurricanes in Raleigh Wednesday the 15th.
