Chicago suffers from a lackluster performance that results in a poor loss

Flyers’ uninspiring performance results in a bad loss to Blackhawks Original publication: NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Flyers The band took a wrong turn Thursday and performed a flat performance before their fans.

They came across the Blackhawks, 4-1 at the Wells Fargo Center

Morgan Frost The Flyers’ only goal was scored by this player. Chicago arrived in Philadelphia with 3.69 goals per game, and a record of 3-11-2 on the road.

The Flyers (19-20-7), fresh off an 8-2 stretch in their previous 10 games, didn’t have it all.

They were 0-2 for 2 on their power play and leaky defensively. In the final minute, they were defeated by an empty net goal.

The Blackhawks (13-26-4), tied the game with the Blue Jackets For the NHL’s lowest points (28) The Flyers won’t be seen again until their regular season finale in Chicago on April 13.

• Just a bad loss for John Tortorella’s team. They played a boring game at home. The Flyers should feel even more frustrated considering how much they have progressed since their NHL-mandated holiday break.

They had a chance at their 20th win, but came up empty.

• After the NHL-best Bruins sent him to the bench Monday during the second period, Carter Hart Was back in net against rebuilding Blackhawks

Although the 24-year-old was not particularly sharp, he did allow some decent-sized rebounds. They were also more open defensively. They were seen watching rather than pressing.

Hart saved 25 shots.

He gave up on a poorly timed goal Tyler Johnson Just 35 seconds into the third quarter, the Flyers were in a 3-1 hole. Patrick Kane Hart made his first save by making a huge rebound for the marker.

Chicago transformed a deficit of 1-0 into a lead of 2-1 in six minutes during second period.

Hart was a skilled redirection player for the Blackhawks. Hart was beaten by the Blackhawks. Jonathan Toews Before Reese Johnson Put them first

Chicago netminder Petr Mrazek, a brief former Flyer, stopped 38 of 39 shots.

• Frost’s goal wasn’t as highlight-reel worthy as his through-the-legs marker Tuesday.

Frost’s skill was on full display in this game. He carried the puck through the neutral zone and kept it on his stick until he fired it top corner past Mrazek’s glove.

At the first intermission, the Flyers led 1-0 with this goal. Over the past 18 games, the center of 23 years old has been more consistent offensively, scoring 16 points (seven goals and nine assists).

• Scott LaughtonNear the end of the first quarter, Laughton, who had scored 20 points in his last 20 games, suffered an injury scare. Laughton fell awkwardly onto the back boards, and then briefly climbed the tunnel to return to the bench.

An upper-body injury meant that the alternate captain missed four games in November. He played 17:22 minutes in Thursday’s game.

• The Flyers are back in action Saturday when they visit the Red Wings (7 p.m. ET/NBCSP).
