• Another day, another crucial Philadelphia Flyers game; this time, the Orange and Black had to settle for the loser point after traveling to Carolina and losing 3-2 in overtime.
• Flyers center Morgan Frost matched his career-high point streak of five games against Carolina, continuing to prove his worth and long-term value to Philadelphia over time.
• Out of left field, Flyers head coach John Tortorella was called out by one of his former players, Brandon Dubinsky, for his treatment of captain Sean Couturier.
• And, without Sean Couturier, the Flyers have accrued three of a possible four points in two captain-less games. Their playoff hopes are growing, but for how long?
