Everything that is wrong with the Philadelphia Flyers — and there are many, according to most preseason forecasts — is compounded by their ridiculous injury list, which makes a perfect storm of pain and misery for a team that the Islanders just sent to their 10th consecutive loss.
But they meet again Tuesday, and the Flyers, in the way that spiraling teams must look for bright spots, can look at how they played through two periods on Saturday in New York and think maybe there’s something to build on and end their latest streak.
There was also the physical shenanigans late in the game, with Nic Deslauriers attempting to start a fight with Alex Romanov followed by Tony DeAngelo regrettably doing so with Oliver Wahlstrom.
