Connor McDavid Dominates as Oilers Defeat Flyers 5-2, Canada

The Flyers returned home with a 3-game losing streak after a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Connor McDavid was the standout player of the night, contributing to all five of Edmonton’s goals with a goal and four assists. The Flyers started to struggle after a road trip and also battled illness in their locker room. The Oilers have been on a winning streak, winning 6 consecutive games and 14 of their last 17. This loss is a gut check for the Flyers, who have let losing streaks spiral out of control in the past. They will need to regroup and prevent a fourth consecutive loss. In previous games in Philadelphia, the Flyers have had success against McDavid, holding him to nine points in seven games. However, McDavid has been dominant against the Flyers on his home ice. The Flyers had a tough night on the power play, going 0 for 4, and committed four penalties. Joel Farabee had a strong showing, assisting on both of the Flyers’ goals. Nicolas Deslauriers was not in the lineup for the first time this season. Overall, it was a disappointing night for the Flyers, who will now aim to turn things around as they return to Philadelphia.
