The month of February hasn’t been too kind to the Philadelphia Flyers. Entering Friday night’s tilt against the Montreal Canadiens, they’d lost nine of their last 12 outings and averaged just 2.41 goals per game over that span. At this point, their two-week surge of stellar play following the Christmas break seems like nothing but a distant memory.
Against the Habs — the second-worst team in the Eastern Conference — the Flyers’ inauspicious play continued with a 5-2 loss at Wells Fargo Center.
Owen Tippett and Ivan Provorov scored the Flyers’ only goals of the night.
