The Philadelphia Flyers secured a convincing 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, marking their second consecutive win. Samuel Ersson, the Flyers' number one netminder, delivered an impressive performance, saving 48 of 49 shots faced since returning from the break, achieving a .959 Save Percentage. Travis Konecny contributed significantly with a rare Gordie Howe Hat Trick in the first period, which included a goal, an assist, and a fight against Pink, energizing the team. The Flyers dominated the game from the start, leading 3-0 by the end of the first period with goals by Foerster, Frost, and Konecny, the latter scoring off a carom from Neal Pionk. They extended their lead with a short-handed goal by Ryan Poehling in the second period. Despite the Jets' Kyle Connor breaking the shutout with a goal in the third period, the Flyers maintained their lead to finish the game. This win over the Jets, who are known for their strong 5-on-5 play and had the NHL's fewest goals allowed per game, showcases the Flyers' potential to remain in the playoff race, especially following their previous win against the Florida Panthers. The Jets are now on a 5-game losing streak.

The Flyers officially have their swagger back. That five-game losing streak before the break? Forget about it. On Thursday night, this team showcased their personality with a dominating 4-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets. https://t.co/f3CBNMY1RW
"They were all over Winnipeg." The Flyers Postgame Live crew discusses the team's strong win over the Jets. https://t.co/8UR8EH8ZXS
Ryan Poehling says that the team got a huge boost from the Travis Konecny fight. He said when one of your best players does that, the team has to follow suit #Flyers
Scott Laughton: "Erssy (Ersson) was great for us tonight, again." #Flyers
Travis Konecny on his fight: "He gave me a jab I didn't like it. I wanted to get something going." #Flyers
Travis Konecny: "We talked about it before the game, getting a lead at home." #Flyers
Fueled by Travis Konecny's Gordie Howe hat trick, the Flyers jumped all over the Jets in a 4-1 win. @JHallNBCS has his observations: https://t.co/F90IGmJa9F
The Flyers beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 at home! Their second win in a row with goals by Foerster, Frost and Konecny in the first and Poehling in the 2nd period. https://t.co/Fw6D0mtHKB
Ersson makes 28 saves and TK and Poehling each have a goal and an assist as Flyers whip Winnipeg, 4-1. #Flyers played too much defense over last 40 minutes but Ersson stood tall.
What a game by Samuel Ersson He now has saved 48 shots on 50 shots faced since returning from the break, and has a .959 Save Percentage since the break https://t.co/Fi8gczi6v1
Winnipeg drops its fifth game in a row, 4-1 in Philadelphia. They've now lost six of eight games since rattling off eight straight wins from December 30th through January 11th. WPG gave up the lead for free and continue to struggle to score. Lone goal from Kyle Connor.
The Flyers dismantled one of the best teams in hockey. What a game by Samuel Ersson, what a victory, .964 Save Percentage Travis Konecny was the dog with a Gordie Howe Hat Trick 4-1 Flyers #Flyers

Flyers win by a 4-1 final, their second straight victory. Winnipeg didn't show up for the first period and the Flyers very much did, basically.
#NHLJets drop their fifth straight game, 4-1 to the Flyers.
Flyers have nine wins over top-10 clubs: Beat Canucks, 2-0 Beat Canucks, 4-1 Beat Avalanche, 5-2 Beat Stars, 5-1 Beat Panthers, 2-1 Beat Golden Knights, 4-3, in OT Beat Jets, 2-0 Beat Jets, 4-1 Beat Hurricanes, 3-1
Flyers come out of the break with a win in Florida on the road, 2-1, and 4-1 win over the Jets at home. Two legit contenders defeated. If you were looking for evidence they are going to remain in the playoff race the rest of the way, that's some pretty strong stuff.
Dale Weise and Wayne Simmonds are the last two Flyers to have Gordie Howe Hat-Tricks in the first period, both in the same game in 2017. #WPGvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers
Kyle Connor makes it 4-1 Philadelphia with 5:12 left in the third. Outwaits Samuel Ersson and tucks it in on his backhand. Connor had gone six games without a goal.
Kyle Connor breaks up the shutout bid, #NHLJets trail 4-1 with 5:12 to go. First goal in six games for Connor. Snaps a stretch of 115 minutes without a goal for the Jets.
The Jets are on the board. It is now 4-1 Flyers still with the lead in the 3rd.
And the Jets spoil the shutout with 5:12 remaining. Kyle Connor maneuvers the puck around Ersson and in. 4-1 Flyers now.
Winnipeg scores with 5:12 remaining, cutting our lead to 4-1. #WPGvsPHI
#Flyers to the power play with 9:13 to go in the third period.
And we're back. The third period is underway and we're holding a 4-0 lead over Winnipeg. #WPGvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/fV5ES5XE3g
4-0 Flyers after 40. Jets getting beaten soundly in all facets of play. Not sure what the third period could hold that would stop this from being the worst loss, by far, of the Jets' four game skid (and counting.) Will be curious to see who makes a push.
Second period is complete. #NHLJets with a decisive edge (15-2) in SOG in 2nd period but they gave up the only goal, a shortie from Ryan Poehling. #Flyers 4 Jets 0.
After two periods of play, the Flyers extend their lead to 4-0 over the Jets.
#NHLJets trail 4-0 after two periods. They've scored four goals in their past five games so it's going to take a gargantuan effort to pull something out of this one.
Samuel Ersson's Save Percentage was above .900 to start the game, so heck yes he's been stellar https://t.co/tCtnq5icef
Great chance for Nino Niederreiter, who is denied. #NHLJets force the #Flyers to take a minor. Hooking minor assessed to Travis Konecny, Jets to the power play.
π€―π€―π€― TK's first-period Gordie Howie Hat Trick came with just 4:08 TOI. #WPGvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/3PJCuvh7iH
As Travis Konecny goes, the Flyers go. This is his team, and John Tortorella has done a great job getting the most out of him. Guy knows how to coach, credit to TK did wanting to become a leader too #Flyers
MORGAN FROST SCORES TO GIVE FLYERS A 3-0 LEAD ON WINNIPEG https://t.co/0n9cZo6VDl
The Flyers are up 3-0 over the Winnipeg Jets as the FIRST period comes to a close. https://t.co/tcko9EpAh4
Sluggish first for #NHLJets as they trail #Flyers 3-0. SOG 13-5 for Philadelphia. Letβs see how the Jets respond to a lacklustre opening frame.
3-0 Philadelphia after 20 minutes of play. Some poor coverage on the Flyers' first goal. Some puck luck on goals two and three. I'll admit I missed a couple of shifts but, with that caveat made, my list of first period #NHLJets positives begins and ends with Adam Lowry.
Through four periods against the Jets this season, the Flyers have outscored them 5-0. Winnipeg surrenders the NHL's fewest goals per game at 2.31.
Travis Konecny with a Gordie Howe Hat Trick in the first period...holy moly πππ Captain, my captain @NHLFlyers
Travis Keith a Gordie Howe Hat Trick in the first period...holy moly πππ Captain, my captain @NHLFlyers
A first period Gordie Howe Hatty for this beauty. #WPGvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/8HadhIglXS
The Flyers are definitely benefiting from some fortunate bounces in the first, but they're also blitzing the Jets. Outshooting them 13-3 and killing them by xG as well. This hasn't even been close.
Flyers up 3-0. All of the goals have been 5-on-5 goals. Jets the league's best 5-on-5 team entering tonight (103-62 differential before this one started)
3-0 Flyers. This time it's Morgan Frost. They're blowing the doors off Winnipeg tonight.
Faceoff win for #Flyers and the bouncing puck ends up on the stick of Travis Konecny, whose shot caroms in off Neal Pionk. #NHLJets trail 2-0
TK went Kung Fu fighting against Pink, and TK dropped him like a fly Travis Konecny is the little engine that could #Flyers
Flyers (26-19-6) open three-game homestand as they host Jets (30-13-5). Samuel Ersson shut out Winnipeg last month with a 35-save effort. Flyers are 11-12-2 at home and want to get going here. https://t.co/Q70RxMCUdW
Samuel Ersson will most likely start tonight for the Flyers. He was nothing short of spectacular against the Florida Panthers as he owns a 13-9-3 record with a 2.53 GAA, and a .900 Save Percentage #Flyers https://t.co/3kzHpIkonJ
Number One netminder Samuel Ersson was fantastic, as the Flyers dismantle a good Florida Panthers team https://t.co/5z8CvboNrA
Samuel Ersson is the Flyers number one netminder, and he's proving that he is just that #Flyers π·: https://t.co/zTyf075Yvy https://t.co/ZhAXfVE21n
