Another Loss By The Philadelphia Flyers

11/29/2014 at 3:47pm EST

from Randy Miller of NJ.com,

The Flyers were 8-6-2 after winning three in a row in mid-November, but since they've been outscored 30-16 and shut out three times in going 1-7-1.

Blanked 3-0 at home on Black Friday, the Flyers were outshot 35-22 in losing again.

THE BAD
• D Andrew MacDonald, traded to the Flyers last March and given a six-year, $30 contract extension in May, was a healthy scratch.

• The Flyers, after holding the Rangers to one shot in the first 11:37 of the second period, gave up 13 in being dominated in the final 8:23, including a goal that tied the game at 2-2.

• C Claude Giroux was given a double minor 1:00 into game after clipping Rangers C John Moore in the face with his stick. Derick Brassard made the Flyers pay by scoring a power-play goal at 2:50 for a 1-0 Rangers lead.

• LW R.J. Umberger, playing 14:54, was a minus-2 with no shots in his 16th consecutive game with no points.

• The Flyers allowed the opening goal for the 17th time in 23 games and 11th time in 11 road games.
