COLUMBUS, Ohio — Coach Dave Hakstol, unhappy with his team’s play the previous night, changed all four lines and two of his three defensive pairings Saturday, trying to help the Flyers end a 12-year losing streak in Columbus.
It didn’t work, but the Flyers salvaged a hard-earned point.
Pierre-Luc Dubois scored the only goal in the shootout as the Blue Jackets defeated the Flyers, 2-1, at reverberating Nationwide Arena. It was Columbus’ 11th straight home win over the Flyers since 2005.
Despite the loss, the Flyers (15-13-8) go into their holiday break feeling fairly good about themselves thanks to an 7-2-1 run that followed a 10-game losing streak.
