The Flyers were shut out, 4-0, by the Jets as goalie Eric Comrie denied all 34 shots on goal to lead his team to victory.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — After going down 2-0 to the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night at Canada Life Centre, the Flyers were tasked with the impossible: coming back from a two-goal deficit to win the game.In their penultimate game of the season, the Flyers were shut out, 4-0, by the Jets as goalie Eric Comrie denied all 34 shots on goal to lead his team to victory. Two of those Jets goals came on the power play, as the Jets went 2-for-5 on their man-advantages.
Looking to narrow the gap with two minutes left in the game, the Flyers pulled rookie goalie Felix Sandström while on the power play for a two-man advantage. However, the Flyers couldn’t find a way to score at 6-on-4 and winger Kyle Connor scored an empty-net insurance goal. On April 17 in their 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, the Flyers gave up a goal when defenseman Rasmus Dahlin caught them in a line change. He sprung winger Anders Bjork for a breakaway, scoring on Sandström. That the Flyers couldn’t properly execute a simple line change in the final month of the season was embarrassing. That they couldn’t properly execute a line change in the second-to-last game of the season against the Jets was equally, if not more, embarrassing.
