The Flyers are, in short, in a tough spot. It’s been an up and down season to date, and while it did show some positive flashes, Sunday’s 5-1 loss to the Stars marked their third consecutive loss, tying them for their longest of the season, and the tension was starting to get palpable. And if last night’s game—kicking off a road trip which Ivan Provorov acknowledged before heading off could be called critical—was the team aiming to take advantage of a matchup against a struggling Blue Jackets team and get themselves back on track, well, they didn’t exactly get off on the right foot.
