A Bad Month For The Philadelphia Flyers
from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
When March started, the Flyers had the best points percentage (.694) in the eight-team East Division. They had all their regulars back from COVID-19 protocol, and they were riding a three-game winning streak that included two shutouts, albeit both against Buffalo.
When the month ended, they were playing like the East Division’s worst team. They went 6-10-1 in March, and allowed the most goals (75) in any month in franchise history. They ended the month with a 6-1 loss to those same worst-in-the-NHL Sabres, who snapped an 18-game losing streak.
“Everybody needs to bring their ‘A’ game every night, and it seems we have some guys on and some guys off,” Flyers center Sean Couturier said after the latest defeat. “It’s tough to win that way.
