It seems whenever Philadelphia Flyers goalie Felix Sandstrom gets a start in net, his squad just can’t remember how to score goals.
In Sandstrom’s first 10 starts of the season, the Flyers were outscored 38-23 and lost nine of those 10 contests. As a result, the 26-year-old’s stats look, well, not so great on paper.
Not exactly an ideal recipe for building a young netminder’s confidence.
Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, the unfortunate trend continued. Sandstrom stood on his head to keep the Flyers competitive, but the goal support was completely nonexistent as the Orange & Black suffered a 1-0 shutout loss to the Hurricanes.
