RALEIGH, N.C. — After Tuesday’s 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, coach John Tortorella said the team played well at five-on-five, they just couldn’t “freakin’ score.”
Two nights later, not only couldn’t the Flyers freakin’ score, they couldn’t generate much freakin’ offense.
The Flyers were held to just 19 shots on goal in their 1-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena. Twenty-three-year-old Hurricanes goalie Pyotr Kochetkov earned the shutout, marking his fourth of the season. According to Natural Stat Trick, the Flyers managed four high-danger scoring chances all game. The Flyers went on their first and only power play in the third period, but they squandered it.
