Flyers getting killed by penalty kill

LOS ANGELES - The Flyers' penalty killing unit has killed them in the first two games of their West Coast trip.

Two games. Two losses. Two awful efforts by the penalty-killing units.

The latest occurred in Wednesday's 4-2 defeat in San Jose, which was 3 for 6 on the power play. The Sharks' other goal was scored as a power play ended and Shayne Gostisbehere left the penalty box but was not yet in the play.

In their last two games - starting with a 4-2 loss in Anaheim - the Flyers have allowed five power-play goals in nine chances.
