March Sadness, Flyers fall to 1-8-1 on month in loss to Stars

Just about everything involving this Flyers team has just been demoralizing to watch in the past 3 weeks. Today was for 3 periods, a very hard-fought game against a Dallas team they had no business beating.

Then OT began and it took Dallas all of 9 seconds to put an end to this.

At least TK scored again

Heading into today’s game, Travis Konecny hadn’t put one in the net since February 8th against the Penguins, it’s been one of the main reasons the offense has stalled out the way it has recently. TK was able to light the lamp first for the Flyers just over halfway through the 2nd period. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for Konecny.

Ryan Poehling tied it up late in the same period off of a nice setup from Matvei Michkov who paid the price for it. The 2nd period as a whole was a breath of fresh air as the team scored as many goals in 20 minutes as their previous 3 games combined.

Promising play from Ersson

Ivan Fedotov got the start between the pipes but was pulled after allowing 2 goals on just 3 Dallas shots in the 1st period.

Samuel Ersson took over for the rest of the game and played very well, totaling 15 saves on 16 shots to help push the game into OT. Consistency has been the issue all season long for both Ersson and Fedotov, each has had plenty of quality performances like Ersson did today but neither has been able to build off of it.

With the season a sinking ship, both goalies are fighting to possibly just keep their jobs, so this will be interesting to watch as the clock ticks during the year.

Holy shit, what a save from Emil Andrae!#Flyers pic.twitter.com/6b44XSvll3
