After dropping Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jackets — a critical matchup in their push to remain in the mix for a playoff spot — in pretty deflated fashion, the Flyers found themselves well and truly on the ropes, as they looked to keep their playoff hopes alive. Thursday’s next matchup, then, against the visiting Blackhawks was going to be critical to helping them get things back on track, if they could again tap into a short memory and turn the page quickly. And what the team deliver...

A stark contrast to his time in Columbus, where he was arguably underutilized, scra...
