Playing uninspired hockey and tanked last in the league in numerous categories, including goals-against average, when their road trip started, the Flyers have regrouped on the West Coast, scoring hard-earned victories in Anaheim, 3-2, and Los Angeles, 5-2, to win consecutive games for the first time this season.
"I wish they all could be California…teeeeeeams!"
"I think the road trip is what we needed," said defenseman Ivan Provorov, who has scored a goal in each of the wins — after going scoreless in the first 11 games.
