Daily News | Flyers lose another early lead, fall to Rangers 6-3
In 24 games, the Flyers have opened the scoring, including Saturday against the New York Rangers. But after losing, 6-3, they’ve still only won two of them. than when they get on the board first. They’ve been fueled by late pushes in many games, coming out with at least one point.
Multiple power plays gave the Flyers an edge in the second, but the Rangers won the period. K’Andre Miller scored on a breakaway despite tripping and falling. For a few minutes, the Flyers backed off and just watched, coach John Tortorella said, and that lapse of energy was costly. Barclay Goodrow followed with a goal, which offset Scott Laughton’s shorthanded goal.
Since Tortorella went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, the lines were scattered. However, whenever at least two of the three were on the ice together, they helped spark the team. Or, at least, it normally would be bad news for the Flyers’ bottom-10 penalty kill. Instead, it couldn’t have gone any better. Less than 20 seconds in, Laughton and Travis Konecny skated toward Halak with Rangers trailing behind them. Laughton slipped it through the five-hole for his second shorthanded goal of the year. The Flyers effectively killed the power play and created two more scoring chances while shorthanded.
