PHILADELPHIA — It was an early-season storyline that stuck in John Tortorella’s craw. Desperately searching for chemistry among his forwards, the Flyers coach wasn’t just placing them in the proverbial blender, but it seemed as if he was actively attempting to use every combination mathematically possible.

The Flyers have won three of four and have points in four straight games following an emotional 5-3 win against the Islanders.

Two helpers in return to lineup

The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Detroit Red Wings in overtime, 2-1, at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday evening.

With the win, the Flyers extended their point streak to a season-high six games and are winners of three straight.

Two-point effort Thursday

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.- The Philadelphia Flyers extended their point streak to six games as they took down the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 in overtime Tuesday night.

The Philadelphia Flyers were shut out, 3-0, by the New York Islanders at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday evening.

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (illness) is poised to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the New Jersey Devils. He was held out of Monday's matchup against the Devils as Couturier wasn't feeling well.

A slump and some injuries are creating a situation where the New Jersey Devils are closer to a wild-card spot than to the lead in the Metropolitan Division.

The Flyers beat the Devils for the second time in 10 days by picking up a 4-2 win Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

Speaking to reporters after the Flyers’ optional morning skate, Scott Laughton said the Flyers “need to get rolling here.”
