ELMONT, N.Y. ― Before speaking to the media on Thursday in the bowels of UBS Arena, Flyers coach John Tortorella had just shown clips to his team of the Sean Couturier-Olle Lycksell-Matvei Michkov line doing some similar things to Noah Cates’ line,

PHILADELPHIA — It was an early-season storyline that stuck in John Tortorella’s craw. Desperately searching for chemistry among his forwards, the Flyers coach wasn’t just placing them in the proverbial blender, but it seemed as if he was actively attempting to use every combination mathematically possible.

With the win, the Flyers extended their point streak to a season-high six games and are winners of three straight.

The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Detroit Red Wings in overtime, 2-1, at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday evening.

Morgan Frost, Garnet Hathaway, Cam York and Noah Cates also scored for Philadelphia. Samuel Ersson made 26 saves as the Flyers won for the third time in four games. Joel Farabee had two assists following three consecutive games as a healthy scratch.

Sean Couturier had a goal and an assist, Travis Konecny added three assists and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Islanders 5-3 on Thursday night.

Ristolainen was the OT hero after a move and a loose puck just trickled by Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon on a rush and a deke that got away from Owen Tippett in the blue paint. The defenseman was the one to crash in and clean it all up.

The Philadelphia Flyers wrapped up a home-and-home set against the New Jersey Devils with a split. After a 4-2 home win on Monday, the Fyers sustained a 5-0 loss at Prudential Center on Wednesday evening.

Bobby Brink, Joel Farabee and Garnet Hathaway scored to help the Philadelphia Flyers build a three-goal lead and they held on to beat the New Jersey Devils 4-2.

The Flyers struggle in the second half of a back-to-back rolls on. With a 3-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Friday night, they are now 1-7-1 on Day 2. It comes after a 6-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Thursday, moving their record to 5-3-2 on Day 1.

Owen Tippett scored the opening goal of the game for the Flyers. With the loss, the Orange and Black’s three-game winning streak also comes to an end.

Ristolainen tapped a loose puck just across the goal line with 4:34 remaining in overtime. Detroit defenseman Moritz Seider tried to clear the puck from in front of the goal but happened to pin it against the post, allowing Ristolainen to have the easy tap-in.
