The Columbus Blue Jackets should be ashamed of themselves. They made the 2022-23 Philadelphia Flyers look like a very good hockey team.
Powered by two goals each from Owen Tippett and Travis Konecny, and a couple other solid performances, the Flyers got a well-deserved 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets before they hit the road for some pre-holiday matchups.
As you would expect from a game between two teams near the bottom of the league standings, there was not a whole lot going on in the first minutes of this game. The Flyers and Blue Jackets started to feel each other out but as play began to unravel, the home team was gifted some space in the offensive zone.
