The Philadelphia Flyers, led by head coach John Tortorella, won against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Arizona Coyotes. Carter Hart, the Flyers' goaltender, played a significant role in the victories. Travis Konecny and Joel Farabee were key players, with Konecny scoring multiple goals. The Flyers' recent performance has placed them in the top positions in the Metropolitan Division. The team has shown strength in penalty killing and has achieved a winning streak, positioning them as a formidable force in the league.

Statement win for the Flyers tbh. 5-2 over the Avalanche. 2nd in the Metro This is Flyers hockey baby. #LetsGoFlyers
Statement win for the Flyers tbh. 5-2 over the Avalanche. 3rd in the Metro right behind the Islanders. This is Flyers hockey. #LetsGoFlyers
Flyers take down the Avs by a 5-2 final score. Just a great all around game against a top tier opponent.
Flyers turn some more heads by beating the Avalanche, 5-2, in Denver. Flyers have won four straight and are 5-1-1 in their last seven games. They're 15-10-2 overall. In 2019-20, the last time Flyers made the playoffs, they were 15-7-5 through 27 games.
#Isles comeback win over Kings moved them into second place in Metropolitan Division, six points behind the Rangers. But that's pending Flyers' game in Colorado and looks like Flyers are going to win and move back ahead of Isles by one point.
The Flyers have a 5-2 lead in Denver with 9:43 minutes left in the third period.
Konecny got a rush attempt off a Nichushkin turnover. MacKinnon backchecked and took a penalty to stop a goal, but the refs awarded Konecny a penalty shot. It looked like Prosvetov made the initial save on the shot but the puck trickled through him. 4-2 Flyers
Flyers hold a 3-2 lead after two, despite a pretty big push by Colorado to close out the frame. Flyers are 10-1-0 when leading after two this season
Flyers have 3-2 lead on Avalanche at second intermission. Flyers know Colorado will make its push. Third period is Avalanche's best period. They're plus-13 and they have two third-period comebacks.
The Flyers have a 3-1 lead on the Avalanche with 8:43 minutes left in the second period. Owen Tippett and Travis Sanheim have scored in this period. Colorado came in scoring a league-high 4.17 goals per game at home.
The Flyers are leading this game due to timely saves. Carter Hart with a beautiful save moments before Tippett scored. Goaltending once again is good
Travis Konecny is now tied for 4th in the NHL with 8 first period goals. #Flyers
The Flyers are 12-1 when they score first
Flyers and Avalanche are tied 1-1 at first intermission. Travis Konecny scored his 15th of the season to give Flyers 1-0 lead. Nathan MacKinnon, an absolute freight train, responded 1:18 minutes later.
1-1 after one here in Denver. Konecny's 15th off of a great feed from Couturier gave Flyers a 1-0 lead, but a highlight reel goal by Nathan MacKinnon, who zipped around Rasmus Ristolainen, quickly tied it.
The Flyers strike first. Couturier finds Konecny, who had a step on Jack Johnson. Konecny beats Prosvetov, who has overall been solid tonight. 1-0 Philly
What a pass by Sean Couturier. Travis Konecny with a hell of a goal, goal number 15 #Flyers

Carter Hart is now tied for 5th All-Time in Flyers wins as a Goaltender with 92, and he has never had a good consistent defense until this season, with the exception of the 2019-20 club. To have 92 victories at 25-years-old and bad defenses is amazing. 📸: @ShaylahRice94 https://t.co/Yt3ac16KMc
