The Flyers passed a big test on Wednesday. A test that showed that the new look Flyers could hang with the best of the Eastern Conference.
“It’s tough to play against them,” Scott Laughton said. “Thought it was really big for our group and definitely a good confidence boost.”
While it wasn’t a perfect game, another blown 2nd period lead, the Flyers stuck to their game. Something that led to a big final 20-minutes & a big confidence booster. Something that couldn’t seem to happen last season.
“Everyone knows their role and every guy can contribute on any given night,” Cam Atkinson said. “We have to continue to stay the course and stay even keel and get better every single day.”
Martin Jones was impressive in his NHL debut on Wednesday. Giving Carter Hart a much deserved rest after a 1-0-1 start. Tonight, Hart looks to stop the red hot & undefeated Panthers.
