The Philadelphia Flyers are currently on their first West Coast road trip of the 2026-27 National Hockey League (NHL) season. Before they headed west, they first went north to the New York Rangers, where they lost 3-2 in regulation on Thursday, Nov. 5.
Flyers blew the lead 3 times
The Flyers had a couple of days off for travel, where they headed to Calgary to take on the Flames for the first game of the West Coast road trip. Philly had a good head start on the Flames, scoring the first goal.
In each period, the Flyers would score and then the Flames would answer back. Since this game ended in a 3-3 tied score, the two teams headed to overtime to decide the winner. Philly took a shot on net, which Devin Cooley and the Flames cleared. The Flames picked up the loose puck and began skating it into Calgary's zone. Matt Coronato received a pass from Matvei Gridin and sent the puck into the net to call the game.
After the Flyers were commanding the game, and it seemed like they had the win in the bag, they walked away from this game against Calgary with just one point in overtime and another loss in three straight games.
While Philly managed to start their first game of November with a win, that has been their only win so far. It looked like the Flyers were about to pick up their second win of the month and fifth of the season against Calgary. However, the opposing team continues to get the best of Philadelphia.
The Flyers had a full team effort, with eight different players recording a point. Sean Couturier was the lone player to record two points in this game with two assists.
While yes, the Flyers walked away with a point, it feels like this loss was even worse than their last two regulation losses. They outplayed the Flames and continued to outscore them, taking the lead three times over within three periods. However, the opposing team continues to get the best of them.
If the Flyers want to rebound from their tough start, they're going to need to keep their team strong for the entire 60 minutes, and especially the five minutes of overtime, if it comes to that. In this game, the Flyers finally played a full 60 minutes, but a misplay allowed the Flames to capitalize. If this performance continues to happen, the Flyers will remain in the same position as the 2026-27 season continues on.
