PHILADELPHIA — After a 13-game losing streak to start 2022 turned the Flyers’ Happy New Year to a dry January, the last game of the month offered a welcome respite for the struggling club.
The Flyers snapped their skid on Saturday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Center against the Los Angeles Kings, securing a 4-3 overtime victory with two goals from Cam Atkinson and one from each Gerry Mayhew and Scott Laughton.
Over their last two games against the New York Islanders and the Dallas Stars, the Flyers gave up third-period goals that cost them a shot at victory. Going into the third period with a 2-1 lead on Saturday, the Flyers would be tasked with staving off the Kings if they wanted to come out with a win.
