The Flyers have a knack this season for coming back to beat the
Blues.
The Flyers rallied last week from deficits of 1-0, 3-1, and 5-3
before they beat St. Louis 6-5 in a shootout. The Blues also
lost their next two games to Vegas and Toronto and have now lost
four straight.
The Flyers faced their third 2-0 deficit in their last five
games.
Faulk’s big week started in Toronto when he played the 1,000th
regular-season game of his career, joining Jeff Skinner,
teammate Cam Fowler and Tyler Seguin as members of the 2010
draft class to reach the milestone.
He was the 137th defenseman in NHL history to reach that mark.
Faulk beat Dan Vladar just 5:31 into the game for the 1-0 lead
and he scored again nearly seven minutes later on the power play
for the 2-0 lead. His six goals this season gave him a bit of an
offensive explosion by his standards. Faulk scored four goals
last season and had only two in 60 games in the 2023-24 season.
Vladar rebounded from the two early goals and made 27 saves.
Hofer had 25 saves for the Blues.
Up next
Blues: Saturday at the New York Islanders.
Flyers: Host the Devils on Saturday.
