During the first two games of their three-game California
road trip, the Philadelphia Flyers have shown signs of an improved hockey team
but were unable to produce a win. All of that changed when the Flyers went into
Los Angeles to face off against the Kings Saturday afternoon as the Orange
& Black were able to come away with a 2-1 victory.
As you can
see by the final score, there was not a whole lot of offense going on; however
that is to be expected when you go against arguably the best goaltender in the
NHL, Jonathan Quick. Luckily Steve Mason was able to show signs of greatness as
well, stopping 37 of the 38 shots that came his way. Philadelphia was able to
get goals from their stars as Claude Giroux tallied his 8th of the
season in the 1st period of play, and Wayne Simmonds scored his 11th
of the season in period number two.
Philadelphia
did not play a perfect game by any means, and if it were not for fantastic play
in goal by Mason they most likely would have continued their losing streak. The
Flyers must take what worked and build off of it. They play a very winnable
game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, and look to start a
much needed winning streak.
