The Philadelphia Flyers entered Thursday night's game against the New Jersey Devils with nine points in the standings and left the game with 11. That's good. But, like... does this look like a very good team to you right now? Philly was outshot 34-17 on the night, and 24-8 through the first two periods. The break out, defensive assignments, and actually shooting when possessing the puck in the vicinity of the opposing net continued to be issues. However, Carter Hart. The 22-year-old netminder saw his first action since his stick-smashing effort against Boston last week, and he won the game for the oranger and black. Hart stopped 33 of Jersey's 34 offerings, giving his team a chance despite a lackluster first 40 minutes of play in front of him. If nothing else, Hart's game gave fans a reason to be optimistic. Ok, that's all I've got, this is more than enough words. Listen to the podcast now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

The headline should be the Philadelphia Flyers beat the New Jersey Devils 5-3. The power play converted early, with James van Riemsdyk netting a pair of man-advantage goals in the game's first 21 minutes, Shayne Gostisbehere looking solid in his first action of the season, and the depth came up big in the third period, with goals from Nolan Patrick and Joel Farabee to put the game out of reach. Good stuff. But, as is always the case, context is king. After the Flyers went up 2-0 59 seconds into the second period, they found themselves tied with NJ by the end of the middle frame, and unable to reclaim momentum for a majority of the second half of the game. Still, Philly went up 5-2 on an Ivan Provorov long-range empty-netter before surrendering a goal to Pavel Zacha with 1:08 remaining in the third and earned themselves two points in the standings to rebound from their awful showings against Boston last week. This post game is a temperature check for the fanbase, unpacking the good and bad from the team's first road victory of 2021. Listen to the postgame for more. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Philadelphia Flyers capped off a forgettable trip to Boston with a 6-1 shellacking on Saturday to create more questions than answers when it comes to deciding what to make of the Orange and Black in 2021. After Kevin Hayes leveled the score at one 1:14 into the second stanza, the Bruins rattled off the contest’s final five goals for Philly’s second game with six goals against only six tilts into the season. Carter Hart allowed six goals on 26 shots against, but as has been the case all season it’s not all on him. The skaters in front of Hart certainly had their hand in a few goals last night, especially Erik Gustafsson. The team actually did well clogging up the neutral zone early last night before the game started to unravel, as well as limiting multi-chance cycles and extended zone time against, but they still left Hart helpless on several plays. With nearly every element of the team struggling at the moment there was a lot to talk about in last night’s postgame including the defense, needing to add another blue liner, the penalty kill, Samuel Morin, and the weird forward lines.
