Postgame RAV4 (RAV4 Things Revisited)
1. Energy management
Playing their third game in four nights, the Flyers were not sharp physically or mentally for much of the game.
2. Special teams
The Flyers went 0-for-2 on the power play. On the penalty kill, the Flyers went 1-for-3 against Calgary’s 32nd-ranked power play. One, however, was a lengthy two-man advantage for the Flames.
3. Follow-up game for Michkov
Coming off arguably his best game of the season, Matvei Michkov was unable to carry positive momentum into Calgary. Overall, in 16:16 of ice time across 19 shifts, Michkov did not attempt a shot on net. He was credited with one takeaway.
4. Ersson in goal
The Flyers’ netminder was in a tough situation in this game. He was unable to come up with a couple of needed saves, but the game turned into an uphill climb for everyone in Orange & Black.
