In their final game before Friday’s NHL trade deadline, the Flyers suffered a 3-2 overtime loss Wednesday night to the Rangers. JHallNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
To their credit, they came to play Wednesday night. But they couldn't hold a lead and dropped to 1-10 in overtime.
The Flyers went into second intermission with a 2-1 edge. New York picked up its eighth third-period comeback of the season. Chris Kreider drew the Rangers even with an impressive redirection. Ivan Provorov was near Kreider just outside the crease.Tortorella's club was coming off of a fatal February in which it went 2-7-1, allowed 4.00 goals per game and scored just 1.80.
The Flyers have lost 12 of their last 15 games. They've scored just 2.13 goals per game over that span."It's just the pride of putting the uniform on," Tortorella said Monday."Listen, it's hard for athletes to see other teams bolstering their lineup because they're gearing it for it. We're on the other end of that. We're going to sell. We've talked about the process.
"But it's hard for athletes to be toward the end of the season and have to go through it. They're not martyrs. But I want to see guys just play with a little bit of pride here. I want to watch that, too. Because that's a telling tale of what we want here on the bus, too, in Philly as we move forward."New York did not have prized trade acquisition Patrick Kane, who is set to make his Rangers debut Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
