Command Analysis
The victory over Calgary did not help Philadelphia to recover. The team continues to be in terrible form, losing points in every game. The Flyers lost the last three games and couldn't even up a fight in any of them. John Tortorella's team failed to make use of their home advantage and lost to Montreal (2:5). After that, Philadelphia lost to Edmonton (2:4) and New Jersey (0:7) away. Goalie Ersson saved only 80% of the shots he faced.
After a long winning streak, the Rangers dipped in form. The team suffered defeats in four consecutive games and could only put up a fight against Calgary, eventually losing in overtime (2:3 OT). The Cops broke the losing streak at home, where they crushed Los Angeles (5:2). The most productive player was forward Trocheck, who scored two goals and also provided an assist. The team remains in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings, trailing Tampa in fifth place by just one point.
