ELMONT, N.Y. ― Before speaking to the media on Thursday in the bowels of UBS Arena, Flyers coach John Tortorella had just shown clips to his team of the Sean Couturier-Olle Lycksell-Matvei Michkov line doing some similar things to Noah Cates’ line,

PHILADELPHIA — It was an early-season storyline that stuck in John Tortorella’s craw. Desperately searching for chemistry among his forwards, the Flyers coach wasn’t just placing them in the proverbial blender, but it seemed as if he was actively attempting to use every combination mathematically possible.

The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Detroit Red Wings in overtime, 2-1, at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday evening.

Ristolainen was the OT hero after a move and a loose puck just trickled by Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon on a rush and a deke that got away from Owen Tippett in the blue paint. The defenseman was the one to crash in and clean it all up.

Sean Couturier had a goal and an assist, Travis Konecny added three assists and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the New York Islanders 5-3 on Thursday night. Morgan Frost, Garnet Hathaway, Cam York and Noah Cates also scored for Philadelphia. Samuel Ersson made 26 saves as the Flyers won for the third time in four games.

The Devils finally got on the board with 1:13 to play in the period. Ersson got a piece of Dougie Hamilton’s shot but the puck hopped in the air and fell back into the net as Travis Sanheim tried to swipe the puck away with his stick.

The Philadelphia Flyers opened a home-and-home set against the New Jersey Devils with a 4-2 win at Wells Fargo Center on Monday evening.

Bobby Brink, Joel Farabee and Garnet Hathaway scored to help the Philadelphia Flyers build a three-goal lead and they held on to beat the New Jersey Devils 4-2.

The Philadelphia Flyers return to the Wells Fargo Center looking to reclaim their momentum as they prepare to take on their Metropolitan Division rivals, the New Jersey Devils, for the second time in just over a week.

In the sixteenth weekly Metropolitan Division snapshot, the Carolina Hurricanes made a huge trade, five teams won their week, and the New York Islanders are out of the basement. All this and more in this week’s snapshot.

Continuing with the Flyers doppelgänger game You might not have caught this last week when we did this. I started off with some of the Flyers players that are currently on the roster and searched for the player they reminded me the most of from the past.

The Flyers are now 1-7-1 on the second night of a back-to-back game. Tyson Foerster scored the lone goal for the Orange and Black in the first period.
