Throughout the first 18 games of the 2018-19 season, the Philadelphia Flyers have gotten off to a slow start in most of them. They have led after the first period in just eight games this year compared to the ten they have trailed in. While they’re coming off a six game streak in which they scored the game’s first goal, that ended Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers.
The Flyers surrendered two goals in each of the first two periods and were seemingly going through the motions, just to turn on the jets in the final 20 minutes of the game.
