The Philadelphia Flyers take the ice again today at 1:00pm at the Wells Fargo Center. A matchup with the Dallas Stars will end their 4th back-to-back of the season.
Head coach John Tortorella has not been impressed by the Flyers performances in the latter half of their three previous back-to-backs. The Flyers are 0-3-0 in the second game of back-to-backs on the season.
Yesterday, against the Senators, “dumb penalties” as Tortorella put it postgame costed them the game. The Flyers were whistled for three penalties in the latter half of the game. Ottawa scored on two of the three power-plays.
The Flyers enter on a two-game losing streak and have lost five of their last seven games.
The Flyers vs Stars matchup has not been good to the Flyers recently. Losing four straight meetings vs the Stars including two straight in Philadelphia.
Felix Sandstrom will make his 5th start of the season. Sandstrom is 1-1-0 with 1.51 GAA & .942% in 2-starts at home this season.
