Overview
- Mika Zibanejad recorded a hat trick, Artemi Panarin posted two goals and an assist, and Brennan Othmann netted his first NHL goal in the 6-3 win in Philadelphia.
- The result snapped a five-game losing streak one day after Drury told fans the club would retool and signaled moves ahead of the March 6 trade deadline.
- Team officials have told pending unrestricted free agent Panarin there will be no contract extension and any trade would require him to waive his no-move clause.
- Philadelphia’s slide hit six straight losses as home fans booed, with injuries and collapsing special teams contributing to a surge in goals against.
- The Flyers now head west to face Vegas, Utah and Colorado, a swing that could influence whether management buys or sells at the deadline.
