When the kids play as well as they did Saturday, it’s easy to understand why there is some optimism in Flyerland.
Travis Konecny was a whirl, Ivan Provorov was Gibraltar steady, and Shayne Gostisbehere continued his sparkling season as the Flyers dispatched the Devils, 3-1.
The Flyers continue to put that ugly 10-game winless streak that ended in early December further and further into the rearview mirror. With 52 points in 46 games — entering day – the Flyers stayed in the thick of the wild-card race and inched closer to a coveted top-three spot in the Metropolitan Division.
