NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The one positive John Tortorella pointed out ahead of the Philadelphia Flyers’ Saturday contest against the Nashville Predators was the team’s resiliency. That was on full display as the Flyers bounced back from their first loss of the year with a 3-1 win over the Predators.
The Flyers not only rebounded from a rough loss to the Florida Panthers, they showed resiliency through the wild momentum swings of the game against the Predators.
For much of Saturday night, the Flyers looked like they were penalty killing despite being at even strength. The Flyers only spent six minutes actually on the penalty kill, which was more successful this game than it has been through the season. However, their inability to kill plays and get out of their own defensive zone made it seem like they were at a disadvantage longer.
