Regular Season Streaks (unless noted)

1974-1984:

September 28, 1974 -- In the second meeting between teams from rival leagues the NHL and WHA, the Flyers defeated the New England Whalers 4-2 in an exhibition match played at Quebec. Dave Schultz scored twice and both goals were assisted by Don Saleski and Orest Kindrachuk. In the prior game, the St. Louis Blues and Houston Aeros met.
November 27, 1979 -- The Flyers won at home 6-2 in the first NHL meeting between the teams. Mike Busniuk scored 41 seconds into the game and the Flyers led the rest of the way. Philly led 3-2 after two periods then Brian Propp (1-1-2) and Reggie Leach (2-0-2) scored in the opening two minutes of the third period. Bill Barber, Bobby Clarke and Ken Linseman each had two assists. Each team had two minors aside.
December 23, 1979 -- Brian Propp scored twice and the Flyers outshot Hartford 40-16 in a 4-2 home win which extended the team's NHL record unbeaten streak to 30 games. Propp, Reggie Leach and Bill Barber each had two points. The Flyers led 2-1 after two periods with a 29-8 shots advantage.
December 26, 1979 --The Flyers extended their NHL record unbeaten streak to 31 games with a 4-4 draw in Springfield, Massachusetts (the Hartford Civic Center was being renovated). Capacity in Springfield was listed at 7,627 but estimates put the crowd well over 8,500 in part due to the popularity of the Flyers. Eyewitnesses claimed that spectators sat in aisles for the entire game. The game was filled with excitement and strong play. Brian Propp led the Flyers' offense with two goals. The Flyers led 4-2 in the third period but the Whalers completed a rally when Brian Hill, who was promoted to the NHL on Christmas Day, scored the only goal of his NHL career. Mark Howe (Hartford) scored twice in his return after he missed the prior three games with back woes.
March 21, 1980 -- Rick MacLeish's breakaway goal with exactly four minutes to play gave the Flyers a 5-5 tie in the first meeting at Hartford. Mike Rogers gave the Whalers a 5-4 lead with 5:50 left. Brian Propp (2-0-2), Ken Linseman (1-2-3) and Paul Holmgren (0-3-3) led Philly. Blaine Stoughton (2-1-3) and Mark Howe (1-2-3) each had three points for Hartford. MacLeish and Propp both reached the 30-goal level.
October 26, 1980 -- The line of Bill Barber (1-3-4), Bobby Clarke (0-3-3) and Reggie Leach (1-2-3) had 10 points and third-string goalie Rick St. Croix, in his first start of the season, made 24 stops in the Flyers' 6-1 home win. Tim Kerr scored his first career NHL goal at the 2:37 mark.
November 8, 1980 -- Phil Myre made 33 saves and Reggie Leach snapped a 4-4 third period tie in Philly's 5-4 road win. Mark Howe had three assists for Hartford. Philly led 2-0 at the 4:40 mark but Hartford scored twice in the opening 3:19 of the third period to make it 4-4.
November 21, 1980 -- The Flyers traded Jack McIlhargey and Norm Barnes to Hartford for the Whalers' 2nd round choice (later traded to Toronto who chose Peter Ihnacak) in the 1982 Entry Draft.
February 8, 1981 -- Paul Holmgren, who termed the team's effort "embassassing," scored with just under five minutes to play in a 6-6 tie at Philly. After a scoreless first period, the teams combined for seven goals and Hartford took a 4-3 lead despite being outshot 31-17 after two periods. Three players scored twice in the second period: Bill Barber (2-0-2) of the Flyers and Hartford's Warren Miller (3-0-3), who later completed a hat trick, and Dave Debol (2-0-2). Reggie Leach (3-0-3) completed a hat trick with two consecutive third period goals to give Philly a 5-4 lead. The Flyers held a 48-30 shots advantage. John Garrett made 42 saves. Phil Myre made 24 stops in his final game with the Flyers but surrendered 5+ goals in five of his last six games. Holmgren said "It's embarrassing the way we were playing... This building is not worth a goal anymore. That is from the previous era. It doesn't seem to have the same aura as before."
March 29, 1981 -- Reid Bailey (1-2-3), Paul Holmgren (2-0-2, 100th NHL goal) and Rick St. Croix (29 saves) led the Flyers to a 4-1 win in Hartford. Bailey scored the only goal in his 56-game (including playoffs) NHL career. Bobby Clarke picked up his 700th assist on a goal by Tim Kerr who missed the prior three games with an elbow injury. Hartford led 1-0 at 0:41. Mike Busniuk fought Pat Boutette and picked up 11 of the Flyers' 19 PIMs.
July 21, 1981 -- The Flyers acquired Fred Arthur, Ray Allison, a 1st round pick (Ron Sutter) and a 3rd round pick (Miroslav Dvorak) in exchange for Rick MacLeish, Blake Wesley, Don Gillen, a 1982 1st rounder (Paul Lawless), a 1982 2nd rounder (Mark Paterson) and a 1982 3rd rounder (Kevin Dineen). Flyers' GM Keith Allen said "This sort of reminds me of the deals we made several years back for MacLeish and Reggie Leach. In those deals we picked up a couple of first-rounders who eventually came into their own and played a big part in our success."
November 12, 1981 -- Paul Holmgren (2-0-2) made his season-debut and scored consecutive PPGs in the second period and Philly won 5-3 at home. Holmgren had shoulder surgery after an injury in a USA-Canada exhibition match for the Canada Cup in August and he missed the Flyers' first 14 regular season games. Hartford's Doug Sulliman scored 0:11 into the second period but Holmgren's pair of goals made it 3-1. Philly outshot Hartford 37-17. Fred Arthur and Garry Howatt fought ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1AX6qzzUJQ ).
March 20, 1982 -- The day after Bob McCammon replaced Pat Quinn as head coach, the Flyers responded with a 5-2 road win. Pelle Lindbergh recorded his first NHL win (started 0-3-2), made 38 saves and went 30-for-30 over the last two periods. Bill Barber's 40th goal of the season came with 5:47 to play gave the Flyers a 3-2 lead while short-handed. The Whalers scored two PPGs and led 2-0 after one period. The Flyers rallied with second period goals by Al Hill (1-2-3) and Ron Flockhart. Three players were ejected (Brian Propp and Frank Bathe of the Flyers) in a bench-clearing brawl at the end of the first period.
March 21, 1982 -- Bill Barber, who returned to being a forward after a brief stint on the blueline, scored the go-ahead goal with 2:25 to play then added an ENG in the Flyers' 5-3 home victory. Philly outshot the Whalers 51-44. Pelle Lindbergh made 41 saves and earned his second career win and on consecutive dates. Greg Millen made 46 saves in defeat. The Flyers started 2-0-0 with new head coach Bob McCammon and finished 4-2-2 under him. Reggie Leach, who was scratched in McCammon's first two games, was late for a practice two days later and then placed on waivers after McCammon decided to go with younger players. "My decision is for the betterment of the hockey team," said McCammon.
August 20, 1982 -- Hartford traded Mark Howe and a 3rd round choice (Derrick Smith) in the 1983 Entry Draft for Ken Linseman, Greg Adams and the Flyers 1st (David Jensen) and 3rd (Leif Karlsson) round picks in the 1983 Draft. The Whalers then sent Linseman and Dan Nachbaur to Edmonton for defenseman Risto Siltanen and the rights to Brent Loney (who never made it to NHL). A stumbling block prior to the deal was Howe's no-trade contract and also the lack of available talent on the Flyers' defense; however, the Whalers were satisfied with the inclusion of Siltanen from the Oilers.
December 11, 1982 -- The Whalers scored four times in a span of 6:10 late in the game and won for the first time in this series (0-8-3), 7-4 in Hartford. Blaine Stoughton (3-1-4), who scored in each period and had the GWG with 4:07 to play, Bob Sullivan (1-2-3) and Ron Francis (0-4-4) led the offense. The line of Ilkka Sinisalo (1-2-3), Ray Allison (1-2-3) and Darryl Sittler (1-1-2), who gave Philly a 4-3 lead with 7:50 left to play, had 8 points. Mark Howe made it 3-1 in his first game against his ex-team. Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk8Py0E_KIk
January 8, 1983 -- Bill Barber returned to the lineup after missing the prior 14 games due to a torn MCL and had five (2-3-5) points in Philly's 8-4 home win. The line of Barber (2-3-5), Darryl Sittler (3-1-4) and Ilkka Sinisalo (2-3-5) set a team-record (since broken) with 14 points. Sittler recorded his 20th NHL hat trick and had three points in the second period when Philly out-scored the Whalers 3-0. Barber also played in an exhibition match January 6 against a touring Soviet all-star team.
January 9, 1983 -- Paul Holmgren (1-3-4) and Brian Propp (2-1-3), who had a team-record (since broken) 13 shots on goal, led the Flyers to an 8-4 home win. Rick St. Croix made 24 saves. The Flyers held a 53-28 shots advantage. Mike Veisor made 45 saves for Hartford. Doug Sulliman (2-1-3) scored twice for Hartford in less than four minutes to make it 2-2. Mark Howe and Bill Barber netted SHGs during the same infraction within 32 seconds to give Philly a 4-2 lead.
October 14, 1983 -- The Flyers got a third round draft pick, used to select John Stevens, as compensation for the unexpected retirement of defenseman Fred Arthur (acquired in July 1981, demoted then retired in October 1982) who refused to be sent to the minor leagues on a conditioning assignment rather to concentrate on a preferred medical career. At the time, Arthur said "I'm not going. It's not just being sent down, it's something I've been thinking about for a while. It's not going in the direction I hoped." Arthur eventually worked at the Victoria Hospital emergency room in London, Ontario.
November 6, 1983 -- Dave Poulin (1-1-2) snapped a 2-2 tie in the third period in a 4-2 home win. Tim Kerr (1-2-3) had three points. Brian Propp (1-1-2) tied the game and then assisted on the GWG. Bob Froese made 21 saves.
December 4, 1983 -- Bob Crawford (2-1-3) was named the game's top star in the Whalers' first win in Philly, 6-5. The Flyers had owned records of 7-0-1 at home and 11-1-3 vs. the Whalers. Ray Neufeld (1-1-2) scored the go-ahead goal 27 seconds after Brian Propp (2-0-2) made it 5-5. Pierre Turgeon (1-2-3) and Ed Staniowski (32 saves) also led Hartford. Bob Froese gave up six goals on 19 shots. Ray Allison (0-3-3) and Ilkka Sinisalo (2-0-2) led the Flyers. Head coach Bob McCammon said "We stunk the place out."
February 25, 1984 -- The Whalers' PP scored on their first four chances, including three in the first period, and went 4-for-6 in a 9-7 home win. Hartford led 3-0 11:26 into the game but the Flyers tied the game 4-4 on goals by Dave Brown (first NHL goal) and Glen Cochrane 61 seconds apart; both later had fighting majors. The Whalers took a 5-4 lead with 19 seconds left in the first period. Hartford outshot Philly 24-17 in the first period but the Flyers held a 41-37 edge in the game. Hartford led 8-6 after two periods. Tim Kerr's 40th goal brought the Flyers to within 8-7 in the final minute of regulation. Five times a goal was scored less than 30 seconds from a previous goal, including three times in the first period. Risto Siltanen (2-1-3), Tony Currie (2-1-3) and Mark Johnson (0-3-3) paced Hartford. Mark Howe (2-1-3), Len Hachborn (0-3-3), Ron Sutter (0-3-3) and Kerr (1-2-3) had three-point efforts for Philly. Pelle Lindbergh, recalled the prior day from a 10-day demotion in the AHL where he was 4-0, surrendered eight goals (the ninth was an ENG). Despite surrendering seven goals, Greg Millen defeated the Flyers for the first time after an 0-11-1 start (he finished 3-18-2 in the regular season). Daryl Stanley gave Randy Pierce, recalled the prior day, a nine-stitch gash over his left eye and other fights included Ray Allison-Doug Sulliman; Dave Brown-Torrie Robertson and Glen Cochrane-Sylvain Turgeon with Hartford's Ed Hospodar tossed as the third-man.
November 15, 1984 -- Bobby Clarke Night ceremonies were highlighted by a six-minute, seventeen-second standing ovation for the legendary player who told the fans "Everyday was Christmas for me. I’d love to do it all over again.” After the emotional display, the Flyers skated to a 3-0 first period lead and won 6-1. Derrick Smith converted a beautiful behind-the-back pass from Murray Craven to open the scoring. Tim Kerr (2-1-3) and Craven (1-2-3) each had three points. Pelle Lindbergh made 26 saves. Among the comments was one by Bruins' GM Harry Sinden who said "Bobby Clarke is the greatest competitor in the history of the game - ever! He was no angel but then again he went into corners where angels feared to tread." Intro to the broadcast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9FdZa2z0uU
November 24, 1984 -- Derrick Smith's goal, deflected into the net by the Whalers' Risto Siltanen, followed a tally by Mark Howe in the third period and the Flyers rallied for a 4-4 OT tie at Hartford.

In a span of 58 seconds midway in the opening period, Dave Poulin and Peter Zezel sandwiched goals around a Rick Tocchet-Torrie Robertson fight. Pelle Eklund made it 3-0, the Flyers third goal in a span of 5:28. This win was the third game of a 12-0-2 unbeaten streak. The Flyers entered this game with a record of 8-13-3.
January 22, 1988 -- Lindsay Carson, who asked to be traded because of a diminishing role, was dealt to the Whalers for Paul Lawless. Carson said, "I think they were selling me short. I never hurt the Flyers in any way. In return, I don't think I got the respect and recognition I deserved. But I'm not bitter about it.... It makes you wonder." He played 27 games for the Whalers that season then part of the following season in the AHL before retiring. The Flyers dealt the disappointing Lawless to Vancouver about six weeks later as part of a trade acquiring Willie Huber.
February 15, 1988 -- Dave Brown scored 3:35 into OT to give Philly a 5-4 home win. Brown fed Derrick Smith from behind the net and then banged home the loose puck. Smith and Ron Sutter both had two points and were +3. The game had 36 penalties, 100 PIMs, five PPGs and 19 PP chances (Hartford was 3-8, Philly was 2-11). Paul Lawless, acquired the prior month, was scratched for the fifth time in ten games and a main reason was he failed to meet coach Mike Keenan's demand that all players have a body fat% of 13 or less (his was 14). The injured Tim Kerr was on the bench helping assistant coaches. In the second period, Rick Tocchet whipped Ulf Samuelsson who later said "I ate one (punch) on the way down."

December 14, 1989 -- Mike Liut made 27 saves and Hartford rallied for a 3-2 win in Philly. After the game, Flyers' head coach Paul Holmgren removed Dave Poulin's captaincy and the "A" from Mark Howe's jersey and replaced them with Ron Sutter and Terry Carkner. Years later, Holmgren admitted he overreacted. The Flyers outshot Hartford 23-10 through two periods but were tied 1-1. Jiri Latal gave Philly a 2-1 lead in the opening minute of the third period. The unlikely pair of Tom Martin (the last of 12 NHL goals) and Mike Tomlak (2nd of 15 career goals) scored for Hartford in the third period. Craig Berube fought Grant Jennings ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUbaa21cOjo ) in the opening minute and later Bob Bodak ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgHQ-rS3sNs) and Tony Horacek fought Ed Kastelic ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjdwv_y8HdE ). Rick Tocchet said after the game "This has to be the most disappointing loss of the season. We had a chance to take over first place, and we came up with an effort like this." The line of Tocchet, Ron Sutter and Murray Craven had 13 of the team's 29 shots and were each a +2. Among the Flyers injured and not playing were Tim Kerr, Ron Hextall, Brian Propp and Kjell Samuelsson.

At the time of the trade, Dineen placed second (to Ron Francis) in games played in the Whalers' franchise history. Craven was in a contract dispute with Flyers' GM Russ Farwell and earlier in the week suffered a neck injury in a Flyers' exhibition match against Team USA. Craven was scratched in two prior games and when his focus was questioned by head coach Paul Holmgren, Craven said "I didn't think he was a psychologist." He said of Farwell "A new General Manager is in and basically moved everybody out from years gone by." Both players scored in their first games with their new teams. Dineen, who suffered from Crohn's Disease, scored an ENG with one second left in the Flyers 3-1 win over Edmonton the following night.
November 27, 1991 -- Pat Verbeek and Andrew Cassals scored twice in the Whalers' 7-3 win at Philly. Ron Hextall suffered a shoulder injury and was out of the lineup for three weeks. Flyers' fans chanted "Paul (Holmgren) must go, Paul must go." Holmgren was fired December 4.

January 24, 1993 -- Ric Nattress' soft shot from the point, after a failed clear by Zarley Zalapski, gave Philly a 5-4 OT win in the Spectrum. Later, a critical Whalers' head coach Paul Holmgren said of Zalapski's play "He keeps telling me he is an All-Star..." Nattress said the shot was like playing pool. The Flyers 6-game losing skid in this series was snapped. Hartford led in the third period until Rod Brind'Amour (2-0-2) and Greg Hawgood scored consecutive PPGs with assists on both coming from Garry Galley (0-3-3) and Mark Recchi (0-2-2). Hawgood's 55-footer tied the game with 2:10 left. Terry Yake (2-1-3) led Hartford's offense. Entering the game, the Flyers had a 17-22-7 record and the Whalers were 13-31-4. Midway in the second period, an announcement that ex-Flyer Tim Kerr had retired from the Whalers/NHL was greeted by a 90-second standing ovation as the on-ice officials purposely delayed the puck drop. Holmgren commented on the reaction to Kerr, who was not in attendance, by saying "Because of the tragedies and all he's been through, I thought it was wonderful. He's a class guy." Kerr, when he learned of the reaction, told the Hartford Courant "We were in Adirondack Sunday. I didn't know until I got home. One of the players' wives called my wife Midge. Wow, that was great. Almost all my memorable moments in hockey were in that building."
February 24, 1993 -- Eric Lindros and Kevin Dineen scored twice in Philly's 5-3 road win. Ex-Flyer Murray Craven gave Hartford a 2-1 lead with his 200th goal but Josef Beranek and Lindros responded quickly to give Philly a 3-2 lead. Philly outshot Hartford 41-27. The Flyers were 0-7-1 in their prior eight visits to Hartford. Whalers' head coach Paul Holmgren said of his team's performance "It's the worst effort we've had in a long, long time and to be honest with you, I'm embarrassed by it." A brawl, which involved both goalies, happened with 2:01 to play (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqdrP5JLudo ). That fight was a result of an earlier incident in which the Whalers' Nick Kypreos left his skates and elbowed Garry Galley's head ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCQZ0S5VAGA ) which ended with Dimitri Yushkevich and Jim McKenzie fighting. Galley missed the following game, his only DNP in the 84-game schedule.

Ryan McGill fought Potvin twice. Beranek fought Pat Verbeek. Said Flyers' head coach Terry Simpson "Tempers were a little frayed." Jason Bowen was elbowed and suffered a bloodied eye which kept him out of the next eight games. Earlier in the week, Hartford's GM/Coach Paul Holmgren relinquished his coaching duties to concentrate on his GM duties and was replaced by Pierre Maguire. Hartford goalie Mario Gosselin (9 saves, 14 shots) suffered a bruised knee and was replaced by Mike Lenarduzzi (11 saves, 12 shots).

As a team we take pride in our goals-against average and our wins and losses. I've never been a big guy on shutouts," said Hextall. John LeClair (2-1-3) and Eric Lindros (1-1-2), who picked up his 100th point of the season on LeClair's first goal, led the offense. Lindros became the fifth Flyer to record 100 points in a season.

As Grimson was escorted to the penalty box, Chase cross-checked Snow to the ice then landed two shots to Snow's head. Both players got roughing minors. Said Chase afterwards, "He's a yapper. He's always stabbing you with his stick. He wants to be a tough guy. I don't take that stuff from defensemen. I don't take it from the tough guys. I'm certainly not going to take it from a goalie. I'm going to knock him on his can." Dale Hawerchuk reaggravated a groin injury and missed all but one game the rest of the regular season. Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ESkhLnuDP4

March 6, 1999 -- Adam Burt was traded to the Flyers for Andrei Kovalenko who had one assist in his 13-game Flyers' career. Said GM Bob Clarke "We were not using Kovalenko and we're going to need defensive depth through the playoff run. We think that Burt is a pretty good player and is going to be a regular on our defense."
March 30, 1999 -- Ron Hextall (0-2-2) tied a team-record for most assists by a goalie and the Flyers scored three PPGs in a 3-3 home tie. Carolina scored twice in the last period.

John LeClair (1-1-2) and Lindros (0-2-2) had two points. John Vanbiesbrouck made 20 saves. Carolina's potential go-ahead goal by Tommy Westlund with 2:50 remaining was waved off when it was ruled he charged into the Flyers' goalie. Hurricanes' head coach Paul Maurice said of the call "Tommy had the right to go after the puck in the crease. He (referee Rocky Trottier) just makes them up as he goes. You can use any explanation that you want tonight because there can't be a logical one. Maybe aliens came down and took over his helmet, I'm not sure. Unbelievable." Gary Roberts said "You hate to say the referee gave them a chance to win the game but that's the way it looked." Roberts, whose 300th NHL goal gave Carolina a 3-2 lead earlier in the third period, was issued a 10-minute misconduct for arguing the call as time expired.

November 30, 2000 -- Arturs Irbe made 25 saves and shutout Philly for the second straight meeting, 2-0 in Raleigh. Sami Kapanen's controversial PPG late in the second period, and less than a minute after he returned to the ice after serving a minor, was allowed despite a kicking motion. Afterwards, he said "I tried to stop the puck with my skate. I was a little surprised myself that they allowed the goal." Earlier, the refs nullified a goal by Carolina's Rod Brind'Amour. Bates Battaglia added an ENG with 12 seconds left. Roman Cechmanek made 25 saves in the loss.
December 23, 2000 -- Dan McGillis scored 3:50 into OT and Roman Cechmanek made 35 saves in the Flyers' 2-1 home win.

Jeff O'Neill gave Carolina 1-0 lead 2:10 into the game and later said of Cechmanek "That kid played well. I thought we had some good chances to score but we just couldn't get it by him."

I saw it when it bounced up, so I just started pushing around, trying to get free and was able to poke it in with one hand on my stick.''

If you want to talk about something negative talk about our power play.'' Flyers' coach Ken Hitchcock responded to a question about the PP "I'm not even going to comment on the power play. You guys know it's struggling now. Why beat it up any more? There is a lack of confidence on the back end and it's been there for a little while.

We certainly didn't want to give up Justin, but we didn't have any choice." Williams said "I was definitely surprised. I didn't expect anything, but I've got nothing but good things to say about my time in Philly." Carolina's GM Jim Rutherford said "He's (Markov) certainly a player that I would've preferred not to trade. But in order to start to make changes, it's not always the players that you want to trade that you're able to trade." The Flyers made the trade due to injuries on the blue-line. "Had we had no injuries or one injury at this stage, we weren't looking for a defenseman," Clarke said.

The Flyers lost their prior game 9-8 vs. Winnipeg which led to Bryzgalov questioning his recent play. Said Jagr "It was big for Bryz, he needed that game after the last game and he was solid today." Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXzoH36Tv48
November 14, 2011 -- Claude Giroux (2-1-3) scored twice in the Flyers' 5-3 win at Carolina. Chris Pronger (0-3-3), Matt Read (1-1-2), Jake Voracek (0-2-2) and Jaromir Jagr (0-2-2) all had multi-point games. Sergei Bobrovsky made 18 saves. Patrick Dwyer (2-0-2) scored two SHGs for Carolina, the first came with under 0.9 left in the first period. Giroux and Wayne Simmonds scored in the opening seven minutes of the second period to give Philly a 4-1 lead. At that point, Cam Ward was lifted (13 saves, 17 shots) for Brian Boucher (10 saves, 11 shots). Dwyer's second SHG, this time on a penalty shot, cut the score to 4-3 early in the third period. It was the second consecutive Flyers' game in which a SHG was scored on a penalty shot (the prior night, Matt Read scored at Florida). The Flyers increased the lead to 5-3 when Read scored on a nice feed from Voracek with under four minutes to play before slamming into the boards. Also that evening, former Flyers and Whalers' player Mark Howe was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoM10R0_jVg
November 21, 2011 -- Alexei Ponikarovsky (2-1-3), Chad LaRose (1-2-3) and Cam Ward (30 saves) led Carolina to a 4-2 win in Philly. The Flyers had won 11 of the prior 12 in this series.

Carolina attempted 91 shots to 41 for the Flyers and that figure included a 42-24 shots advantage. The Flyers set an unofficial team record for blocked shots with 32 (Carolina had just 7). Dan Ellis (8 saves, 12 shots) was replaced by Cam Ward (11 saves, 12 shots) after Mike Knuble made it 4-2 with his first goal since returning to the Flyers ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A2E3JrAzvE ). Defensemen Kurtis Foster and Braydon Coburn had goals with the Flyers up 2-1.

Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TLrhjxoo2E and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1NunFpcp7g
April 20, 2013 -- Wayne Simmonds (2-2-4, +4), who had his first career hat trick and a career high in points, and Matt Read (1-2-3, +4), led the Flyers to a 5-3 road win.

January 22, 2014 -- In a game canceled the prior day due to inclement weather in the Philly area, the Flyers lost 3-2 in a listless performance. Jiri Tlusty scored the GWG with 6:10 to play. Anton Khudobin made 22 saves. The Flyers were outshot 8-3 in the first period and fell behind 2-0 on Nathan Gerbe's goal.

The pair gave the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead. Staal made it 4-1 17 seconds into the second period. The Flyers tied the game 4-4 after three consecutive goals including two ten seconds apart. Scott Hartnell (major, game misconduct $5,000 fine) was ejected for spearing 13:09 into the third period which oddly turned into a Flyers' PP when two Carolina players took minors; however, Skinner's PPG later during the major gave the Canes a 5-4 edge. Wayne Simmonds (2-0-2) scored twice and tied the game 5-5 with 9.5 ticks left in regulation. Philly held a 44-38 shots advantage. Anton Khudobin made 39 saves for Carolina.

Scott Laughton, who scored his first NHL goal, Wayne Simmonds and Jake Voracek, whose PPG 4:54 into the second period made it 3-1, all had a goal and an assist. Though outshot 10-7 in the second period, the Flyers led 5-1. Luke Schenn had 6 blocks and the Flyers doubled the Hurricanes 24-12 in that category. It was the team's first victory wearing the Winter Classic jerseys after a 0-3-1 start. Highlights -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWqJ538rvlI

GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Symphony of Destruction" by Megadeth

DeflatedFootball7 · Apr 8, 2015

A team I'm really tired of seeing and losing too. I know we want a higher pick but I would be okay if Voracek put up ten points.

Stizzle · Apr 8, 2015

Lose, please.

Appleyard · Apr 8, 2015

If they lose this we should not have to have a legitimate worry about finishing the year with a worse pick than 8.

Angry Hockey Dad · Apr 8, 2015

We eem to lose to other basement teams.

Harold Bingo · Apr 9, 2015

Hope Razor gets the start.

Maybe Giroux's got like a dentist appointment or something? Can't make this one.

Tell Voracek the games on Friday.

SolidSnakeUS · Apr 9, 2015

Should be an interesting one.

chupanibre · Apr 9, 2015

I find the hurricanes franchise so bland. Most tedious team in the entire NHL.

Hopefully we lose the next 2, I'll be rooting for a Pens collapse pretty hard!

YEM · Apr 9, 2015

SJ w/ 87 pts
FLA w/87 pts
COLO w/ 86 pts
OHIO w/ 85 pts

If the last game against Ottawa has playoffs implications, my assumption is they will play Mason such as the game against the Islanders.

Gudas is practicing as well.

DrinkFightFlyers · Apr 9, 2015

Someone just tweeted that Gudas is practicing. Is he playing tonight or just getting his legs going?

Hiesenberg · Apr 9, 2015

According to PhilaBright, Berube has the Flyers practicing shot blocking today. Because nothing can go wrong there with 2 games left in a meaningless season.

SolidSnakeUS · Apr 9, 2015

Watch one of them get injured from it...

I hope Gudas plays.

Apparently Bellemare got stung pretty good. Only 2 more games until this clown is out of our lives.

I don't want our goalies to block shots

Halladay · Apr 9, 2015

Today is the 9th, unless Im crazy or missing something.

Anthems · Apr 9, 2015

I love you Flyers. And I'm so happy you beat the Pens x2 and the Isles this month, but now you gotta lose these next two games. We need to solidify the 7th overall pick.

1 year of success in a decade of mediocrity will do that to you.

Beef Invictus · Apr 9, 2015

I dread these games. When is the last time a Carolina-Flyers matchup did not feature one or a combination of:

1) The Flyers Playing Like Total Ass
2) The Canes Playing Like Total Ass
3) Both Teams Playing Like Total Ass
4) Why Are They Playing So Assly
5) Oh God Everyone Is So Ass
