ST. LOUIS - The "restart" of the Flyers' season had some sloppy moments Wednesday at the Scottrade Center.
The passing wasn't sharp, there were too many giveaways in their own zone, and the offense looked out of sync for long stretches. Oh, and Steve Mason couldn't make a key save in a Blues-dominated third period.
All contributed to the Flyers' 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues.
Former Flyer Scottie Upshall and David Perron scored on deflections 80 seconds apart in the third period, putting the Blues in front, 4-3. Robby Fabbri beat Mason to the short side with 4 minutes, 59 seconds left to make it 5-3.
