The Philadelphia Flyers dominated the Dallas Stars in a 5-1 victory. The Flyers outshot the Stars 43-16, with Owen Tippett scoring two goals and Cam Atkinson adding a power play goal. Samuel Ersson made key saves, and the Flyers have won five straight games. Flyers' coach John Tortorella praised the team's performance, highlighting the influence of recent acquisition Jamie Drysdale. The Flyers are now 3 points ahead of the Hurricanes and 2nd in the Metropolitan division, just 2 points behind the New York Rangers.
Flyers down 2-0 after one period of play. I suspect Tortorella will give them the "keep doing what you're doing, you'll get rewarded" locker room talk at first intermission. They're playing well despite the score.
Flyers aren't even playing poorly -- they've probably gotten the better of play thus far, and they're outshooting the Avs 11 - 5. Just haven't finished on their chances and the Avalanche have.
Flyers take ice for warmups ahead of matchup with Avalanche. Flyers are on five-game winning streak, a stretch in which they’ve outscored opponents 17-8. https://t.co/ohhAJdSMat
After 6 goals in his last 6 games & 2 straight highlight-reel tallies, the spotlight is rightfully on Owen Tippett. Is this just a hot streak? Or is he in the midst of taking the next step? Read my story on Tippett & his emergence (for PHLY Diehards): ⬇️ https://t.co/ttm8FVIDMT
Owen Tippett will re-sign in Philadelphia, especially with John Tortorella 's comments yesterday: "He's going to be a big piece for us moving forward." Tortorella said he had conversations with him going back to the exhibition games telling him to figure out who he is #Flyers
The Flyers are 5-0 since Jamie Drysdale has arrived in Philly The Flyers could also be tied for first place in the Metropolitan Division if they beat the AVS today. The Rangers play the LA Kings later #Flyers

After thrashing the Dallas Stars -- a legitimate Cup contender -- on Thursday night, it's time to ask the question: What if this Philadelphia Flyers club actually can keep this up? What if they're simply a special team? My column: ⬇️ https://t.co/lMdEBNyRxU
Flyers have won four in a row, all against Central Division teams. #Avs are in Philly on Saturday afternoon.
John Tortorella: "We put the work in. That's probably one of our better games we've played. I'm happy for them. Dallas is one of the best teams in the league." #Flyers
Tippett is crushing it with the Flyers. One-ups his backhand from a few games ago. https://t.co/9kl84IxmSc
There is no debate that John Tortorella is one hell of a coach, and a great coach for the Flyers. This Flyers team is rocking. They are fast, balls to the wall, and play with skill. My lord Torts is awesome

Flyers win their fifth straight. Dismantle a legit Stanley Cup contender in Dallas, 5-1.

Flyers with an absolutely dominant 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars -- a legitimate Cup contender. Outshot them 43-16, and were up as much as 28-3 at one point. That's a statement win to the league that right now, this is a very good hockey team.
Jake Oettinger has only given up five or more goals, four times this season. The Flyers have 5 on the night and 42 shots on goal. #DALvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers
2 Power Play goals, and a penalty shot goal tonight by the Flyers. Wowza
The Flyers now up to 9 straight games with at least 35 shots on goal. #LetsGoFlyers
That goal was enormous. Dallas kills that PP, they know they're right in a game they don't deserve to be in, and they have an entire period to tie it up and maybe even win. Facing a two-goal deficit again, the Flyers are back all over them again. Stars look shell-shocked.
Cam Atkinson with a Power Play goal My word the PP is heating up 3-1 Flyers
Cam Atkinson (11) on the door step, a power play goal to make it 3-1 Flyers. Frost (11), Sanheim (22), Atkinson with three goals in his last 3 games. #DALvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers
The Flyers have a power play goal in six of their last seven games. They lead 3-1 now early in third period.
Cam Atkinson is back. He puts home a rebound on the PP, and the Flyers extend their lead back to two goals less than a minute into the third. Huge goal -- couldn't leave Dallas in this game, given how much they've outplayed them through 40.
Flyers score on power play to make it 3-1 early in third period.
#Flyers clinging to a 2-1 lead after two and have a 30-9 shots domination.
The Flyers are absolutely dominating the Stars, as they are outshooting them 30-9 at the end of 2. 2-1 Flyers, goals by Walker and Tippett
Flyers lead 2-1 over the Stars after two periods of play. Stars are held to 9 shots, lowest through first two periods this season. #DALvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers
Flyers hanging onto 2-1 lead after two, with 1:07 left on a PP. Third period will likely be a challenge. It's the Stars' best period this season, outscoring teams 64-48.
Flyers lead Stars 2-1 at second intermission. Should be good third period.
Despite carrying a shutout past the halfway point and only allowing one goal, Samuel Ersson has a .750 Sv%. The Dallas Stars have 4 shots on goal with 6 minutes left in the middle frame. #DALvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers
Stars may be getting dominated in shots, but they just had a huge PK and got an important goal after it to trim Flyers' lead to 2-1.
"He creates a ton of offense out of nothing, so it has been fun to watch. ... It's going to be exciting to see what he becomes, but he's starting to find the identity right now." Owen Tippett with another goal. He's got five goals in last six games. https://t.co/1zAA4Kb2MU
Also, the #Flyers are outshooting the Stars 15-1.... https://t.co/5pCc9rybvG
Samuel Ersson only faced one shot in the first 20 minutes of the game. 1-0 after the first. The Dallas Stars average 30.2 shots a game. Great work from the Flyers' defense, clogging up lanes and sacrificing the body. Flyers controlled the first period and put up 15 shots to…
