TORONTO — In the Flyers' most embarrassing loss of the season, a 6-0 wipeout Saturday night in Toronto, they may have stumbled into some much-needed good fortune:
Goaltender Anthony Stolarz played two-plus periods and showed the promise that caused the Flyers to protect him in last year's expansion draft.
Stolarz, a New Jersey native recalled from the AHL's Phantoms because of an injury to Alex Lyon, stopped 32-of-34 shots in relief of Cal Pickard (four goals on six shots), who struggled but was betrayed by his defense.
Stolarz, 24, denied a handful of breakaways and several odd-man rushes.
