Highlights Beyond Highlights- Jan. 25 vs. Red Wings

On a night where the Flyers struggled to break through against a well-executed Detroit defensive structure, there were a couple moments that stood out as things the Flyers normally do well and will be looking to use to break out of their funk.

On the game’s first penalty kill, the Flyers faced nine shot attempts from the Red Wings.  None of them hit the net. The Flyers blocked five shots in the first half of the kill alone, and Detroit put four wide trying to get it through the PK unit.

Ideally that would have sparked the Flyers, and it actually did to an extent a little bit after the kill. The Flyers found themselves with sustained pressure for over a minute in the Detroit zone, and had other chances over the course of the game, but as Cam Atkinson said postgame, the Flyers couldn’t get the one goal they needed to find a spark.
